LG monitor flickering when running MSFS

Yes you can use Lossless and autoFPS together. and if your range is 0-144HZ then yes you can.

You have G-Sync, it can sync the frame to any frame between 44-144. You need higher than 70-80 ish to avoid your screen flickering.

 

For you I would recommend first capping your frame rate to 38 frames per second, and then using lossless frame gen x3. That should give you a good even frame pace and 38X3 =114 frame per second. therefore running at 114HZ. If that works all ok, consider a higher frame cap. 

 

Very helpful, truly appreciate it. I will try it tonight and let you know if I need any help.

Any trade offs in using lossless scaling?

If your base frame rate is too low it can cause artefacts, however if you can maintain 40+ you should be fine

This is an old thread,  but I have seen  Huascar around.

Did you fix your flicker problem.

Trying to decide if I will upgrade to a LG 42 C5.

Really on the fence.

I already have a 32 165g that is working well.

MSFS 2024 -Too many airplanes to name. Too many airports to name.

I have an LG 42 C3 and being oled it also suffers from the flicker when using G-sync, it's very disappointing and frustrating but it's common on OLED panels combined with G-sync, I did a lot of research at the time for this hoping to find a solution and so far non exist as I believe only a hardware based solution would resolve this so it would be up to the likes of Nvidia and/or panel manufacturers.  So not sure if later models resolve this either, I wouldn't count on it.

It only happens on dark areas of the screen so depending on the content being viewed it may or may not be noticeable.  Fly MSFS in daytime, no issues, nighttime things not lit up will flicker a bit, same in other titles btw, it's not an msfs issue.   Turning G-sync off means tearing so you either put up with it or limit you frames another way, in MSFS I hard limited my fps to 90 in the Nvidia app and that has stopped tearing for me without the need for g-sync.  That's on a 4090 though so depending on your card and gfx settings your mileage may vary.  Most games I can run at pretty decent frame rates and the occasional tear is something I have to live with, the tearing is the lesser of 2 evils compared to the flicker that's for sure so yes I would still stick to my oled.

Oled panels are great with contrast and colour and overall I love the look of the picture but not being able to use g-sync coz of this flicker issue is certainly a significant shortcoming that is not getting enough attention clearly.

 

 

 

I have an LG 42" C2. It worked great until I went from Nvidia graphics card to AMD. Got black flickering in full screen mode which was only fixed by turning on gaming mode in LG settings. With the Nvidia card I could get a smooth sim at 30fps, but now have to run at 60fps or there is severe stuttering/flickering.

Read my solution on the previous page. (Page 1). Flickering is caused by low FPS when g-sync is active, especially noticeable in dark areas, and is easily eliminated.
