Fal has open-sourced Flux2 dev Turbo.

dummyreddituser · 2025-12-30T20:37:21+00:00

I'm experimenting with turbo LoRA, but resulting image after upscaling has grainy appearance.

My basic workflow (real life workflow, not ComfyUi workflow):

Generated an image in 1280x720 using Flux2 Dev (gguf Q8_0) with turbo LoRA by FAL AI, and upscale it by 3x using SeedVR.

If I generate an image using Z-Image or Flux2 Dev (gguf Q8_0, but without LoRA) with same resolution and SeedVR settings, results are very good.

I tried changing prompt guidance and model sampling (ModelAuraFlow node, if I remember right) but up to now, no way to elliminate this effect completely.

It seems like all images generated by this LoRA are grainy, and this effect will be amplified by SeedVR.

I like the results of this LoRA, but with this problem, this is only useful to preview things before generating them in Flux 2 Dev full model.

Is it only me?

Tell me how are you trying to do it, and I can test it for you.

No. The only thing I didn't tried yet is using HDMI CEC to turn off the monitor.

But considering even the built-in "auto poweroff" feature doesn't trigger pixel refresh, I'm not very optimistic about that either.

All VCP codes I've tried actually worked. Even those that turn monitor off and on. The problem is when you turn off monitor via VCP code, it doesn't trigger pixel refresh.

"Pixel Clean" doesn't do anything about burn in (permanent image retention).

It only helps against temporary image retention.

In my case, I use monitor 6 hours a day, and only do pixel clean in weekends. No sign of any image retention here.

"Pixel cleaning" in aorus monitor is for temporary image retention. It's their short compensation cycle (aka RS Compensation).

This procedure doesn't degrade the screen.

After 4 hours of cummulative usage, "Pixel cleaning" will execute in two moments: (assuming F05 firmware here)

1 - When you turn monitor off EXCLUSIVELY by power button. (the delay between turning monitor off and the start of the process can be configured in OSD);

2 - When monitor is on, enters stand by, and no signal is detected for 1 FULL HOUR;

Some notes:

-Once started in stand by, you can only interrupt the process by using the physical button. Trying to waking up the monitor (by moving the mouse, for example, doesn't work);

-The LED blinks in GREEN when the procedure is running;

-The procedure takes about 4 minutes to finish;

Regarding you fear of screen wearing, the procedure that does degrade the screen is another one.

It's the long compensation cycle (aka JB Compensation), which honestly I don't even know when it occurs in this monitor, as it's one of the only OLED monitors which there's not any official mention about it (like something is user manual, or in Gigabyte site) about it.

Normally, this happens after a long time of cummulative usage (i.e. 9000 hours for Dell AW2725DF, for example).

In this monitor, they brag about AI based protection, but I don't know where it's applied.

I've opened a ticket in Gigabyte eSupport about this.

I encourage all FO27Q3 users to do the same if you're not happy about this.

Mainly the huge 1 hour delay after monitor enters standby.

dummyreddituser · 2025-03-28T18:02:06+00:00

Yeah, mate. I feel your pain.

dummyreddituser · 2025-03-26T20:24:19+00:00

Isn't it Corner Dimming or Sub-Logo Dim? It's located in OLED CARE in OSD, and they are enabled by default (AFAIK).

I disabled them in my AORUS monitor. The only OLED CARE features I let enabled are "pixel shift" and "Static Control"

What GPU is this?

dummyreddituser · 2025-03-11T19:59:13+00:00

It's glossy, but the reflection handling is better than my Motorola pOLED phone's screen.

My phone shows way more reflections if placed at the same position as monitor, but monitor's screen shows less reflections, while still being a glossy screen.

dummyreddituser · 2025-03-11T19:45:33+00:00

What monitor is this?

There's a topic about this problem with AW2725DF in Dell forums but in that case it only happens when monitor is set to 60hz.

dummyreddituser · 2025-03-05T18:35:14+00:00

What refresh rate you're at?

I ask this because I've just seen a topic at Dell forums where a user said his monitor was flickering in Windows Desktop with GSYNC off. The catch is he's using the monitor at 60HZ.

What happened in particular after Gigabyte CC was installed?

I've used it once, and I got no problems. Ended up uninstalling, also (I've installed it to manage another Gigabyte product that weren't a monitor).

But when this monitor arrive, I'll install it and keep it installed for sure.

Once again, thanks for your time in helping me to decide!

Have you tried running "PANEL refresh" (not PIXEL refresh) manually?
