Solved: Flickering screen with G-Sync

[Keepps]

Today my screen started flickering, a kind of rapid flashing like it had a bad cable connection. Cables were fine; I rebooted in Windows and there was no flickering.

The solution was to disable G-Sync in the Nvidia Driver Manager Preferences. I don't need it anyway, as I do all my gaming on the PC side.

I'm running Sierra with the latest Nvidia web drivers. Sierra, Nvidia drivers, Clover all up to date. GPU is the GTX 1080. Monitor is Acer XB270HU.

Did you by any chance have a second monitor connected when the flickering happened?

Yes, I had a HTC Vive, which the Mac treats as a second monitor.

I wonder if it's an issue when you have multiple monitors and only one supports it. I have a similar issue with two monitors of which only one has G-sync.
