Tearing/Flicker with ASUS vg248qe at 144hz?

[yoyi1784]

I am having issues with games after getting the Asus vg248qe and setting it to 144hz. Games like Crysis 3, Far Cry 3, and Skyrim have this weird tearing, flicker textural problem. On Crysis 3 it's so bad that it causes it to crash eventually. I noticed that when I set the monitor refresh rate back to 60hz the problem disappears. Any ideas on what could be causing this issue?

My Specs:

MotherBoard: Asus P8Z77-V LK
CPU: Intel Core i5 3570 OC to 4.0ghz
RAM: 8gb Corsair Vengeance DDR3
GPU: EVGA GTX 780 SLI
Hard Drive: Samsung SSD 120gb

Drivers are all updated

Thanks

because your monitor has a 144hz refresh and your setup isn't pushing that high of fps. I'm running a 4770K at 4.3ghz, 16 gigs of ram at 1600mhz, with 2 way SLI EVGA 780 and a GTX 650ti running in physX and i'm not pushing Crysis 3 to 144fps when ramping up the graphics. when the refresh rate of the monitor and the frames for the card arn't meeting up it causes problems. it's why we have things like vsync. and that's another thing, are you running vsync while using 144hz? I'm not sure how it works but I think it only tries to lock it at 60fps

I tried to turn V-Sync on for Crysis 3, but on fraps I dont see it locked at 60, usually revolves around 60-75 fps range, and the flicker is still there. So far, only complete cure I have found is to set my monitor at 60hz which sucks as I had hoped to take advantage of the higher refresh rate.

yeah, it sucks to spend money on something like that and not be able to use it. Could just lock it down for those games and still run everything else at your 144hz 😀 in any case. I hope you get it working for you. I'm stuck with a old nasty 60hz Asus D:

haha thanks, I think I have no choice but to lock it, Maybe I will go 3 way gtx 780 😛
