Today I was playing GOW IV and had a black screen for a split second, after that I had continued playing for more like 1 hour or close to that and no more black screens agin , the system seems to be stable anyway ...

The AMD drivers continue to have this known issue:

"Enhanced Sync may cause a black screen to occur when enabled on some games and system configurations. Any users who may be experiencing issues with Enhanced Sync enabled should disable it as a temporary workaround".

Indeed this option was activated by me before I opened the game today ... so this thing is really still an issue after all this time being a known issue ??!

PC SPECS:
AOC monitor with 21" and freesync , 75hz
