dimming flickering possible cause/solution

[RossMarBow]

ok so i have 144hz monitor if i set ingame target to 144 i get flickering dimming
which shouldn't happen because my frame rate is too high 
but it does
but if i set my monitor to 120hz ingame 144 no flickering
if i set monitor to 144hz ingame no limit (200fps+) no flickering
so this game has some weird issue with amd freesync or something

maybe just giving us a frame rate target slider would solve the issue?

might just be my specific combination of hardware it effects 

maybe somethings wrong with my monitor 

but i can play other games at 144 with a 144 target and no flickering so idk its sporadic

Nah didn't work long term

Freesync or G-sync?

Freesync

graphics card 5700 xt pulse

 

so now i'm running no frame rate limit in game
and just using amd frame rate limit 
but that didn't help

going to try a some other things

@brahguevara, try disabling freesync in the driver settings.

Ok will try it out
I don't think it happens at all in replays
I'm getting about 280 fps watching this replay now

I'm confused though, shouldn't freesync lock the game to the screens fps, so I shouldn't have to set a limit or something?
Only reason I've been running a limit was just cause I thought their wouldn't be a point in having a higher fps.


Ok seems to stop the dimming happening on loading screens, when i move the fuel slider, and in game
and I'm using a driver fps cap and enhanced sync now also, to get back the functionality 
working great so far
thank you

 

 

It now works when you change the amd setting from optimised to ON
and the latest driver lets you set a fps cap
