Staff Dan C Posted October 26, 2023 Staff Share Posted October 26, 2023 Hi @meIT666, Welcome to the Affinity Forums & sorry to hear you're having trouble! We've seen reports of this previously and it's usually caused by either outdated GPU drivers, or G-sync. Therefore I'd recommend ensuring that your GPU drivers are fully up-to-date, directly from Nvidias website. I'd also recommend performing a 'clean install' for these drivers, as covered here: https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-install-an-NVIDIA-Quadro-display-adapter-device-driver.html Once these are updated, does this stop the flicker issue for you? If not, please try disabling G-sync for the Affinity apps, using the following steps: https://www.howtogeek.com/902169/how-to-turn-off-g-sync-for-specific-or-all-games/#:~:text=That's it!-,how to turn off g-sync for specific games,-Disabling G-SYNC I hope this helps Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

Sorry, I did not called the driver version: 537.58 - pretty new I think. The G-Sync... Nice thoughts, I tried it with the disabling for the Affinity Apps - it is getting better - but still flickering I use DisplayPort with 3440x1440 @144 Hz. 8 bit color, RGB format in an SDR range. Can I provide any more information? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were discussions on the forum about driver problems that could only be solved by uninstalling and then installing a new driver (as Dan writes "clean install").

Staff Dan C Posted October 27, 2023 Staff Share Posted October 27, 2023 I'm sorry to hear this hasn't helped! 19 hours ago, meIT666 said: I use DisplayPort with 3440x1440 @144 Hz. 8 bit color, RGB format in an SDR range. I personally use a very similar setup with an ASUS ROG PG278Q (though this is only 1440p) without said flickering occurring, so I don't believe this to be an incompatibility issue with your monitor. As above, I'd recommend performing this 'clean install' with the Nvidia driver, as this can resolve unexplainable GPU behaviours. If this still doesn't help, you can use the same section of the Nvidia Control Panel to limit the framerate of the Affinity apps. If you set this to 60hz, does the flickering stop please?

meIT666 Posted November 17, 2023 Author Share Posted November 17, 2023 Sorry for the late answer. I limited the FPS via nVidia Control Panel. Dan C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
