Screen Blinking issue.

[TheIL-2Thunder]

I have an i7-6700 CPU, AMD Radeon RX480 8GB VRAM GPU and 16GB RAM.  The screen has a sort of continous micro-blinking that really makes you crazy... Any recommendation?

Are you sure you have DDR5? I don't even think there are motherboards that support that CPU together with DDR5.

Check if you are running the game on your AMD GPU and not on the CPU built in GPU.

The game wasn't present in the AMD control panel games list and so i tried to add it manually. It is the IL-2.exe file, right?

Yes

Once you have it in the AMD panel you need to change it so it looks like this

Optional choices are sharpness, custom color 
also change ansio to x16 but I'm not sure it actually does anything

I don't have any custom settings in the AMD control panel, i have all standard. My monitor is 5 years old Samsung Freesync curved monitor 1920x1080x72Hz, but for more compatibility i have set the system thru Windows settings to run at 60Hz, and monitor is set to Optimized Freesync (there are two options: Standard Freesync and Optimized Freesync). So if i have enabled VSYNC, do you think the FPS target still makes sense or it's better to set it OFF? Also in the launcher it says that using Full Screen mode it can increase performance of 15%, but the FPS counter while in the Menu, counts the FPS to 72 not 60... While if Full Screen mode is off, the FPS seems to be at 60, which is the current refresh rate i set the system to use (60Hz). I have VSYNC on because how otherwise you can prevent the screen tearing? At default settings the first time i launched a quick Tank Crew mission which has VSYNC off, the screen was having a terrible screen tearing.

My Samsung 27" Curved Freesync monitor has two Freesync options: one Standard and one Optimized, if i choose Optimized in AMD control panel says that Freesync range is between 48 and 60, but with standard it's only 58 to 60. I was using Optimized option and tried to put it Standard. Fingers crossed it seems removing the strange blinking. While playing multiplayer i'm getting 55.7 average FPS with the settings you can see in the attached file.

Follow my guide I told you how to fix it

[=ILS=_Abu_27]

u need translate my words with google plz. 我经过测试，发现屏幕频闪主要发生在软件Gsync功能打开的时候， 显示器为兼容gsync而不是硬件支持gsync的时候，如果你在显卡设置中打开gsync功能，你就会看到频闪问题。 解决办法 1 关掉gsync 2 使用硬件支持的gsync 显示器。 这是我经过多个显示器测试的结果，如果你翻译了我的留言，希望你会得到帮助。 祝你好运，频闪确实要把人折磨疯，我为此放弃了两款非常棒的显示器。
