[SOLVED] Screen flickering at 144hz in CS:GO?

[aleksijutila05]

So, I have weird screen flickering at CS:GO at 144hz with my new monitor. It works fine in desktop but in CS:GO it shows like a big box which flickers like every 2 second. My graphics card drivers are up to date. Can anyone help?

So, when I´m in main menu screen flickering starts and it happens on some maps too. Flickering looks like a long bar flickering and showing top of the screen. I have tried v-sync and it didn´t help. Please help.

Have you connected via displayport?
Likely the best connection.
Can you try the hdmi connection.
Sometimes the quality of a cable can cause flickering.

I use DVI connection and it is the cable that came with the monitor. I can maybe try different connections but I'm not sure if the hdmi can get me 144hz. (I use 144hz in desktop and 120hz in cs)

Can you provide a link to your particular model?
If I am not mistaken, it has a displayport input which is the one connection that supports the highest of refresh rates.

I just connected through displayport and flickering still happens

I changed a setting called ACM in my monitor settings from off to on and it fixed the problem.
