I've had some big screen and gamma flickering problems while using Gsync. Some people say to turn off Gsync, which seems to fix most issues, but switching to Vsync makes games feel very laggy or choppy. With Gsync on, things run super smooth even if Vsync is also on. But the Gamma flashing is really noticeable and can be annoying. Anyone know any fixes or suggestions to reduce that flickering while using Gsync? UPDATE: My monitor might be the problem, I didn't notice any flickering at all with my AOC Gaming Q27G4XD - a 27-inch QHD 180Hz screen. But my AOC Gaming Q27G2E, which is a 27-inch QHD 155Hz screen, refuses to work with Gsync, Vsync, or any VRR tech. I wouldn't recommend this monitor if you are sensitive about screen flickering or Gamma issues. Specs include Zotac 4080S FAN AMP, Ryzen 7 9700X 2X, 2TB Samsung 990 Pro PCIe 4.0 (reading 6900MT/s and writing 12000MT/s), TeamGroup Expert Overclocking 64GB DDR5, Noctua NH-D15 X870E CPU cooler, Aorus Elite WIFI7 motherboard, AOC Gaming Q27G2E 27-inch QHD 155Hz monitor with 1ms response time, FreeSync shadow control, be quiet! Straight Power 11 ATX 1200 Watt Full Modular 80+ Platinum PSU - BN310. I did a clean DDU of GPU drivers last week and am on the latest version now. FPS is capped at 113 in Control Panel Bios version F4a

Did you forget to say what kind of power supply unit you use? Is the BIOS on your motherboard a specific number? Do you run a driver version for your RTX 4080 Super? What exact Zotac model do you own?
