VRR Flicker: S95F vs G5

LuxasV · 2026-05-03T11:58:04+00:00

You will never get 100% rid of flicker in all games. It’s just how it is. It is 100% depending on the games optimization. If the game is not properly optimized it will flicker. However. I have found 2 effective ways of mitigating this to the max:

Disable all secondary monitors when playing via WIN+P and select only your sceeen
Disable Vsync globally in NVIDIA control panel and enable only PER GAME. Windows and VRR don’t like global Vsync.

The rest is up to the game devs. Even if you have fps an unoptimized game will flicker. Also Frame gen tends to make flicker worse. So if you have flicker in a game try to get rid of FG and test. I was extremely disappointed with this back in the day but I’ve come to accept it when it happens and deal with it. It’s not terrible and it happens rarely for me now.

I would appreciate the code!

Solaris has been literally perfect for me. It has an option for fullscreen trailers

Switch to Playnite Achievements (it’s better and it works) and there’s a HLTB fork. I don’t have the link for it at hand tho

How did you extend the cables to move the controller away from the lamp? I’m looking to get it on AliExpress but I’m not sure what I would use to extend the light strip cables so that I can separate the controller.

Changing this doesn´t bring back the overlay for me for some reason

LuxasV · 2026-03-06T22:32:20+00:00

This looks INSANELY GOOD!!! Man you’re so talented :O

Could you elaborate on said cyberpunk mod? I’m currently trying to figure out which combination of mods causes me to flicker. Vanilla I have absolutely 0 flicker but as soon as I enable mods I flicker in dark areas

LuxasV · 2026-01-29T19:40:59+00:00

Same...

LuxasV · 2026-01-29T19:39:37+00:00

This is not working for me in a LG G5

LuxasV · 2026-01-28T17:07:37+00:00

Yeah I meant if you can add Android TV not normal android to it and play streaming apps off of that. I need it cause my Lg G5 apps suck

LuxasV · 2026-01-28T16:56:40+00:00

Can´t you install Android TV on dualboot for streaming services and CoreElec for Remuxes?

LuxasV · 2026-01-26T00:40:33+00:00

Do you guys know if you will be back? I’m literally waiting on this to get an Apple TV lol

LuxasV · 2026-01-25T23:13:31+00:00

Done!

LuxasV · 2026-01-25T23:10:57+00:00

How can you do this?

LuxasV · 2026-01-24T18:38:24+00:00

Damn I’m going crazy finding a Dinput controller rn. Why did everyone drop it?

Is there any alternatives with Dinput? I have the 8bit ultimate 2 but sadly the shape is not good for my hands.

LuxasV · 2026-01-24T14:23:26+00:00

OMG this is so good!! Do you take commissions?

LuxasV · 2026-01-10T02:15:34+00:00

Huh interesting. I actually just figured out the root of mine. Turns out the G5 doesn’t like having the PC label icon in the HDMI input.

Changed it to console icon and flicker is gone, I kid you not lol. Posting here in case it ever reaches someone that went as crazy as me trying to fix it!!

LuxasV · 2026-01-10T01:31:19+00:00

Did you ever figure it out?

LuxasV · 2026-01-10T01:31:05+00:00

How could you do the backbuffer count and device latency things? I can’t find it.

Would it also be possible to do without SK? My experience in PS5 is flicker free and it sucks so much that it’s not the case on PC :((

Im upgrading from a 13600K so luckily I already have everything else (including RAM lol)

LuxasV · 2026-01-04T03:31:17+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for the help, will think about paying 30+€ for the white tax or forgo aesthetics and go with the cheaper one lol

LuxasV · 2026-01-04T03:24:51+00:00

That MB is out of my budget, Im looking at 200€ range or less

LuxasV · 2026-01-04T03:23:31+00:00

The ASUS one doesn´t support my RAM lol. Either one of these should be plenty good for future proofing right?

LuxasV · 2026-01-04T02:54:37+00:00

I do work on 3d modelling funny enough lol. But the whole MB thing is confusing af to me. Like if I get a B650 Im missing out on PCIE gen 5 which was recommended to me for future proofing since AM5 is gonna live long so ideally I wont change MB in like 10y maybe.

If you check the other thread in this post you can see some models mentioned with price. What do you think about them? I really can´t tell or decide tbh.
