ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG FLICKERING

Post by escafias » 06 Dec 2024, 18:27

Hello,

I just bought the ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG, to use it as my main display to play Rust, a game that its frames go from 100-240ish during gameplay with my build.

I purchased the XG27AQDMG, because I wasn't satisfied with the Gigabyte M27QX with the frame flutation it had some tearing.

The problem is Rust needs G-sync to look smoother IMO, but the XG27AQDMG with G-Sync enabled is very bad filled with flickering, I cant stand it.

The flicker is bad when G-Sync on.

I'm now thinking about returning and need a better alternative to pair with the M27QX.

Whats the best possible choice in terms of response time, minimal screen tearing with frame drops so g-sync compatible 240hz 1440p monitor?

Thanks in advance for your time reading this.

Ps: I was told I need to get a 1440p option because of gpu scaling, 1 already have 1 1440p monitor since I'm returning the XG27AQDMG, different res in 2 monitors build, equals less performance.

Even with top of the line hardware, if the game stutter, VRR Flickering will happen. I had the XG27AQDMG for a while as well, and decided to return it mostly because of the Flicker AND Vertical banding.

I went back to my old 165Hz IPS. I looked for an 240Hz monitor, but according to reviews, not many are really great. And the great ones are just not worth it because the improvements are quite minimal compared to what I already have. So I can't suggest anything personally.
