75hz monitor glitching out at 75hz?

[poorsod]

Hello everyone again, my friend got an acer ek241y. At first he used a rx 580 and the monitor was running at 75hz. It was fine in desktop with some weird artifacts like and screen flickering and lines or flashing during ingames. Those happened very very fast and brief like within a second. So he thought it was the gpu that's faulty. Today, he swapped it out with a gtx 1660 super. Ran ddu and uninstall the old drivers etc. Now after finish installing nvidia graphic drivers, the monitor straight glitches out. There were lines everywhere and flickering nonstop even in desktop. But when he switch to 60hz, everything is okay. He tried different hdmi cables, same result. I've searched around the forums and it seems to be related to cheap ips monitor having this issue. Any other ideas?

If monitor is still under warranty RMA it. I wanted to suggest hdmi cable swap but you say you already tried it and nothing has changed. I would suggest also to give a try to vga connection but i think with 1660 it is not possible/very difficult and generates extra cost in form of active signal converter from hdmi or display port to vga.

Before you try to rma, secure cables, swap cables and inputs and see if the problem still happens.

I just have the same problem .... when running at 60hz, everything is fine.

when running at 75hz, it would be flickering at times ...

So Paul, have you solved this problem ?

or could you suggest your friend to use a new monitor at 75hz to see if the flickering still happens??

Thanks a lot !

Unfortunately no. I have scoured the internet for the solutions and the solution was only to rma it. He didnt bother with it and just kept it at 60hz.

If you guys are using nvidia gpu's you could try setting a custom resolution and messing with color settings like dynamic range, also my first 4k monitor could overclock the refresh to 80hz but it stopped being smooth and caused juddering in all things, it may run enough that the manufacturer can claim 75hz but as in all advertising there are falsities or claims that sometimes don't hold up.

Maybe the 75hz is only achievable on one input port ie if the monitor also has dvi input then 75hz may only work on that input.

Unlucky, try setting output dynamic range to limited and output colour depth to 8bpc. Set the output colour format to YCbCr420 This should free up around 20hz bandwidth. Good luck!!!

Finally I found the root cause that RX 570 has some problem with the 75hz default setting and BlueStacks running a specific game, now I've changed to GTX1660, then it's fine.

or you have to use CRU tool to change the LCD timing parameter from LCD standard to LCD native.

And poorsod your friend used RX 580, so I guess the RX 5 series has some issues...right now I am happy with my new card...

Actually it was worse for gtx 1660. Before switching to the gtx 1660, his screen only glitches randomly and less frequent. After switching to 1660 as well, the screen constantly glitches at the top part lol.
