My setup:
Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Rev 1.04 LGA1151 (BIOS updated to most recent)
i7-6700
64GB DDR4 3200
Samsung 850 EVO
2x Gigabyte 1080 GTX (SLI)
Pri Mon: Asus Swift PG279Q (DP)
Sec Mon: Acer S241HL (DVI)
Corsair 850W PSU
My problem is that any time I increase the refresh rate above 60Hz, to 120, 144 or 165, the screen will go in and out showing nothing but black or stating signal lost. I've searched up and down the interwebs and everyone's "flickering" that I see in videos is nowhere near as dramatic as mine, as my screen goes entirely black and can go for 2-10 sec. I've tried every solution other ppl mentioned that worked for them, Gsync on/off, singular monitor, turning SLI off, updating BIOS, verifying video cards are in proper placement, modifying individual application settings to use fixed refresh and gsync off. Nothing but turning it to 60Hz works and even then on rare occasion it does it. I had the guy demo the monitor at the store and it worked seamlessly on their display computer that was as close to my setup as possible. Any ideas gents? If you need additional info, ask away.
