So, I've recently updated to this new Asus monitor and it has good features, color, ports, etc, standard flair for an IPS display.
But, there's one issue, 120 Hz causes it to randomly flicker or rather, the bottom half of the screen to show what looks like a 50% opacity image (for one to two frames) and go away. Only at 120 Hz, not 60, not 100 or other supported refresh rates, tested on both HDMI and DP cables, results are the same. Now, when I switch ont he monitor's adaptive sync (Freesync and Gsync compatible) and set it to 120 Hz, issue goes away. But this is with some caveats, such as the UFO framerate test reports my 120 Hz at 104 Hz, prob because it's adaptive but the 120 Hz issue does go away. I haven't found anything useful on Google, Reddit, for a solution, short of contacting Asus and RMAing this for a replacement, but how do I know if the new one won't have the same stupid issue as before? And no, I don't want 144 Hz because it's not divisible by 60/30 and games that run at that will not be smooth and look weird (esp. emulators), but I digress.
What's the next step? Contact Asus/Amazon and tell them what's going on? I feel close to solving the issue, and I highly doubt my RTX 2060 Super will support anything higher than 1440p 120 Hz without taxing it more, like 144 Hz (which doesn't have the 120 Hz issue). Or, maybe the cables I have are crap quality, I'm just... starting to get a little pissed off, because it's been happening for a couple of weeks now and I've only figured out how to trigger the glitch tonight.
