Do you have any ideas on how to fix this flickering issue? It’s really bad. I tested two identical laptops, and both had the same issue. It happens in all games when G-Sync is enabled, and I don’t want to disable it because the games feel less smooth without it.

ASUS officially advertises this laptop as G-Sync compatible, and there’s even a G-Sync sticker on the device. However, with G-Sync on, the screen constantly flickers, making it almost unusable.

I’ve tried different driver versions, BIOS updates, and various settings, but nothing helps. Is there any way to fix this, or is it a hardware issue?

If anyone has encountered a similar issue or found a fix, please let me know!

In the Nvidia control panel, is G-Sync enabled for full screen only? If it is, try the other option (full screen and windowed). It helped me to get rid of flickering in some games.
