AOC Q27G4ZR goes black/flickers above 165Hz with GTX 1070
Hi,
I recently bought an AOC Q27G4ZR (27", 1440p, 260Hz Fast IPS). I'm using it with a GTX 1070 over DisplayPort using the included DP cable.
The monitor works perfectly fine at 165Hz, but as soon as I go above 165Hz (180Hz, 240Hz, 260Hz), I start getting:
- slight flickering
- random black screens for a few seconds every couple of minutes
I tried:
- Adaptive Sync OFF on the monitor
- HDR OFF
- 8 bpc / RGB full range in NVIDIA Control Panel
- checked latest NVIDIA drivers (will no try to do a clean uninstall and reinstal)
Is my GPU the culprit here? I dont expect to run most games on 240 but a few games should still run on 240. Anyways Id still love to know if I just got a faulty or wrong monitor? Or if the problem disappears once I upgrade my gpu?
Thanks
