Hi all -
Having some weird issue with my new Samsung Odyssey G7 monitor (32 inch). I received it yesterday, and have been experiencing weird disconnect issues.
I am running a dual monitor setup, with the other monitor being MSI's Optix MPG341CQR (an ultrawide, 120 hz). After I installed the G7 everything was running smoothly, until the monitor started losing signal at what I thought were random moments. I replaced the Displayport cable, and the issue persisted, I then switched the ports, and still the same.
The weird part is that the issue happens more often if I only have the G7 plugged in, and if Adaptive Sync is on. But having both monitors connected and Adaptive Sync off doesn't completely eliminate the issue, just makes it happen less frequently. The only thing that seems to prevent the issue completely is if I have the monitor connected to my PC via HDMI, which I don't want to do since it limits the refresh rate to 144hz (Native is 240hz).
I tried to completely remove my nvidia drivers, and reverted them to an earlier build, and still the same issue is happening.
The other thing is that the issue happens mostly when turning HDR off, or when starting a video either on Hulu or Netflix (though not always), or just when doing normal stuff. In games I have yet to experience the issue.
I thought for sure this was a driver issue, or a GPU issue, but what puzzles me is that it does not happen with the other monitor at all. Only to the G7.
Has anyone experienced anything similar to this? I'm wondering what I can do next - any thoughts would be very much appreciated!
