I have the acer nitro vg270upbmiipx monitor and have been having this problem for a few days now. I'm not sure where the problem is coming from, if it is hardware, drivers or even the cables from the monitor.

I just need some help because it gets really annoying. It also tends to happen when my pc is stressed, such as loading up the pc or playing games.

The flickers are horizontal and happen all over the screen

Turn down the refresh rate and check if it happens

by how much should I lower it?

#

I'm 144hz

Use 120hz

#

And test lower if it happens again

Do you have another cable to check?

#

And more importantly

#

Is the flicker visible on the monitor OSD?
