Problem with Adaptive\GSync and Black Frame Insertion
Posted: 24 Feb 2021, 23:17
Hello, First post in here. Everybody seems stumped on this. I've narrowed down my problem being directly related to the use of Adaptive Sync\Nvidia Gsync on my Omen 27i 165Hz monitor (set at 120Hz to double 60Hz) in combination with Black Frame Insertion in emulation programs like RetroArch.
The issue is after literally only running a game for minutes, I get what looks like Burn-in left on the monitor for about 20 minutes after playing. I've researched this and found the correct term is 'Image Retention'. This is known to be a temporary effect on some LCD monitors from being on one screen too long. However as I said this happens literally within ONE MINUTE. But it ONLY happens when Adaptive Sync is enabled on my monitor along with Black Frame Insertion. Another strange thing that happens is when I change the response time on my monitor it actually gets BRIGHTER, when normally it does not effect brightness at all. Adaptive Sync works fine in any other game. And when I have Adaptive Sync OFF and Black Frame Insertion ON I also have no Image Retention problems but then of course I get flickering because it's not syncing up with the frames properly.
I'm wondering if this is a known problem or my monitor is possibly faulty. I tend to doubt it since I haven't really noticed any problems other then what I mentioned above. I've attached images to give you an example. Thanks! Any help would be awesome.
