G9 OLED Flickering now and then

[Venner]

Morning

I got my G9 OLED last week and noticed quite often when i switch on my PC and get to the desktop I get flickering as shown in the video below

I have tried a different Display port cable and the one that came with it, also updated the firmware on monitor and running latest Nvidia drivers, I thought it might be something to do with running a 2nd monitor so unplugged that but still get the issue.

I had the first G9 before this and worked 100% fine nothing else was changed. Running an RTX 3090.

Should I be returning the monitor?

Yo ! 

ive got G9 oled too , i got same issue only and non always , with HDR on at win 10 and browser with white background , ive updated drivers from win and monitor have lastest firm.

maybe need check if its still happens but last time didnt noticed , maybe you have some corrupted driver or any config at nvida panel that may causes it because resolution ?

Since I've switched to hdmi 2.1 I haven't had it happen (touch wood) I think it might be DP 1.4 issue running 5120x1440 240hz on the monitors that they might fix with an firmware update over time.

I had done Fresh driver installs so know it wasn't that.

If you are running RTX4080/4090, you need to update your firmware.  https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5411/?=&linkId=100000163736896

It's been happening to me and I've been using a display port cable, still no issues with the hdmi?

[Venner]

Nope no more issues since using hdmi 2.1 cable

Alright thanks, I'll give it a go with that then. Only annoying thing is my 4070 has 3 DP slots and 1 HDMI which I already use so gonna have to buy an adapter for the old device lol

[Venner]

Yeah my 3090 also has 3 DP and 1 hdmi so wanted to use DP aswell. They might fix it with a software update later on I hope

I've switched to the HDMI and it works like a charm now. All my issues are, without Adaptive Sync (Game mode) switched on it tears no matter the resolution (I'm guessing it's fine with HDMI. Haven't checked.), DP flickers (your issue), and the PBP mode doesn't work properly, the DP connected "screen" tears. I haven't tried game mode with PBP but I'm assuming that wont work. I don't want to have to return the monitor since It's my main now and I don't want to have to go through the effort of returning it and then re-purchasing it/ waiting for a repair so I'm gonna try nd contact support to see if they can make a request for certain things to be patched in the next software update.

Also no more issues for me since switching to hdmi but still annoying the DP doesn't work correctly

Did you end up resolving? Mine does not do that. What you may want to try is HDMI 2.1b cable is what I am running it on. Make sure you have VRR turned on as well.
