Black screen with vsync enabled

[mr195]

Hi all,

I recently noticed that whenever I have vsync enabled, my screen will go completely black in dark areas of the game (as if I had no signal coming from the gpu). I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions. Here are my specs:

Amd fx 8350
Gtx 780 x 2 (in sli)
Gigabyte 990fxa ud3
Raidmax 1000w psu
Windows 8.1

Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Thanks everyone!

Raidmax psu's are on tier 5 - Replace Immediately of http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

What monitor?

May be the problem here.

Like the guy above said replace immediately before it damages both your cards and CPU.

Get a 750W+ antec, corsair, seasonic or XFX Unit, never cheap out on the PSU, make sure you spend some good money.

Monitor is an ASUS ve247h (I think). It's 23.6" 60hz.

Same as mine. I got gtx 670 in sli. No problems at all.

Do you have a problem without Vsync on?

No, when I disable vsync everything is fine.

Well I seem to have figured it out. Turns out that there is a setting an ASUS monitors called ASUS smart contrast ratio that was causing my screens to go black in dark areas. Turned this off and all is good. Thanks guys.
