Updated the drivers and now getting some sort of screen tearing or something?

[mellow ermine]

G SYNC enabled, refresh rate 165, RTX 3060, never happened before. Only way to fix it quickly is alt tabbing fast. Any fix for this?? It's super annoying.

[slender socket]

in what?

• games
• browsers, Discord, Teams, etc.

G-Sync enabled, and I have only one monitor plugged. When I enable the option 3. Display Specific settings, the game msfs2024 has flickering screen. I have RTX 5090 with MSI Monitor 32 MPG322URX QD-OLED. Am I missing something or I shouldn't enable the option in question?

This can either caused by bad cables or DSC

cause you are running 240hz 4k

If you are experiencing display issues, graphical artifacts, dithering or black screens especially on high resolution and high refresh rate monitors like the Samsung G9, it may have been caused by DSC (Display Stream Compression) being enabled. Display Stream Compression was developed to reduce the amount of data that is required to be transmitted between the video source, like what a graphics card is, to a monitor or TV. The goal is to compress the video stream without degrading the quality and therefore allowing higher resolutions and refresh rates. The need for DSC arises as the connections between the source and the monitor or TV are limited by the capability of the ports and cables alike. If the GPU detects that a display supports DSC, DSC mode will be enabled automatically if the display exceeds the bandwidth of the ports (HDMI or Displayport). Please check the model of your monitors, the GPU and the ports on your GPU & monitor with the respective manufacturers (LG, Samsung, Nvidia, AMD, Intel) to determine the maximum supported resolution with & without DSC. For more details on bandwidth & resolutions can be found here: Guide to Display Cables / Adapters (v2) - Displays - Linus Tech Tips

For Nvidia GPUs:
Using a monitor/display with DSC support over DisplayPort 1.4+:

• Display Stream Compression over DisplayPort 1.4+ is supported on Turing class (GeForce RTX 20-series/GeForce GTX 16-series) and higher GPUs.

Using a monitor/display with DSC support over HDMI 2.1:
-Display Stream Compression over HDMI 2.1 is supported on Ampere class (GeForce RTX 30-series) GPUs.

• While you may use a an older GPU (eg. GeForce GTX 10-series) with a display that supports Display Stream Compression over DisplayPort 1.4+/HDMI 2.1, you may not be able to select the highest resolution or refresh rate supported by the display.
• When a display is connected to the GPU and is set to DSC mode, the GPU may use two internal heads to drive the display when the pixel rate needed to drive the display mode exceeds the GPU’s single head limit. This may affect your display topology when using multiple monitors. For example if two displays with support for DSC are connected to a single GeForce GPU, all 4 internal heads will be utilized and you will not be able to use a third monitor with the GPU at the same time.
• NVIDIA DSR, NVIDIA DLDSR and NVIDIA Image Scaling are not supported when DSC mode is enabled for 40-Series GPU and below.
• If the GPU detects that a display supports DSC, DSC mode will be enabled automatically. Some displays may allow you to disable DSC by changing the communication link from the displays internal settings (eg. changing the DisplayPort mode from Displayport 1.4 to DisplayPort 1.2)

To determine if your PC monitor, notebook display or TV supports Display Stream Compression, please refer to your display manufacturer.

A monitor that uses DisplayPort 1.4 or HDMI 2.1 with DSC may cause reduced amounts of available video connections.

A GeForce GPU internally provides up to four display heads. For most monitors, each monitor connection uses one display head.

Very high end displays that use DisplayPort 1.4 or HDMI 2.1 with DSC utilize enough bandwidth that they use two display heads for one monitor. This will reduce the maximum available displays used with a single GPU.

On DisplayPort 1.4a with HBR3, if a monitor's capabilities exceed the rough equivalent of 4K120 (3840x2160 at 120Hz), including other resolution equivalents (e.g. 1080p400 (1920x1080 at 400Hz) or 1440p250 (2560x1440 at 250Hz)), the display might utilize DSC. (Some capability is lost due to timing requirements.)

To use the maximum amount of displays with such monitors with a single GPU, use the monitor's OSD to disable DSC, or use an alternative, lower-end connector if available.

Alternatively, if your CPU has an iGPU, you can enable it (if it's not enabled by default), and plug any extra monitors to the motherboard's display output(s) instead.

As a third option, if your computer does not have an iGPU or motherboard display outputs, and has extra physical PCIe x16 slots (does not need to be electrically x16) with at least two slots' worth of clearance, you can add another video card to immediately add extra video outputs. If using an NVIDIA card, make sure that the driver you're using supports both video cards; mixing driver versions is not allowed, so very old cards may be unusable.

Please use a certified and high-bandwidth HDMI or DisplayPort cables to be used with your high refresh rate and high resolution displays. Do not use the cables that come with the monitor or cheap uncertified cables, otherwise you will experience black screens, graphical artifacting, screen corruption, or the display not working at native resolution.

For HDMI, please ensure that your cables have the "Ultra High Speed HDMI" sticker and certification on the retail box as shown here: Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable - Bandwidth Up To 48Gbps
These cables are certified by the HDMI Consortium to support for all HDMI 2.1b features including uncompressed 8K@60 and 4K@120.

For DisplayPort, please ensure that your cables are listed in the database here: Cables & Adaptors Archives - DisplayPort
A certified DisplayPort cable shall have a DP40 or DP80 label for support for high resolution and high refresh rate displays.
