moonpie Lower refresh to 60/70/75Hz (probably not needed)

I do not recommend to reduce refresh rate due to some inversion artifacts visibility in gaming monitors.

To mask such patterns, its very important to keep very high refresh rates

      simplex Do you agree with the other suggestions? Disabling VRR and Trace free techcnology for example

      Edit: Just did a quick search on VRR on the forum, seems like everyone agrees to turn it off. Didnt find much on trace free technology. Appreciate all the help guys.

          moonpie Is "Freesync premium" similar to VRR? I didnt find VRR but I found freesync premium which was turned off. Turned trace free to 0. Do you suggest to use "blue light filter"? Got one of those.

          Any other suggestions on features/gimmicks to turn off?

            Is it possible to send a video here somehow btw? Took a slow-mo video of my screen. Looks like its flickering. Just wanted to confirm

            I dont have experience with VRR feature and comfort impact of it

            But I do have experience with high-frequency monitors, where decreasing refresh rate to 60/50hz lead to eye-strain

              moonpie Okay thanks. Btw I bought this monitor like 5 days ago. First 2 days the difference was crazy, felt so much better, headache so much better etc. Then after that started feeling worse again. It coincides with my computer starting to freeze randomly 4 or 5 times now which never happens usually. I'm hopeful something's up with the graphics or the computer that's causing the increase in symptoms again. Does that sound reasonable?

                moonpie ubuntu 22.04 won't disable the gpu.So it's not a good way for testing

                  And thank you also aswell for your inputs @autobot

                  How do you guys know if the monitor is dithering or not? Any video of what it looks like or how to spot it?

                  moonpie even for testing

                  even old win XP or win7 could be useful for testing, to check OS influence

                  Get wide your mind, your not better than others

                    moonpie I certainly wouldn't recommend it beyond testing, but given the influence of OS issues (compared to the past) I think offline testing with a set of "known known" to be a good start.

                      ASUS ProArt PA278CGV Monitor

                      The ASUS ProArt PA278CGV monitor, according to https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/53fc33b6, supports true 8-bit color, but uses FRC (temporal dithering) for 10-bit. You should ensure that the graphics card control panel is set to 8-bit to avoid engaging the FRC module.

                      I'm sure the RX 7800 XT uses dithering when the AMD driver is loaded at any bit depth except the maximum value, which should be 12-bit, just like my former RX 6600. However, in Linux, starting from kernel v6.8-rc1, it should be 10-bit (?) according to this commit: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/d5df648ec830cfd775bdacb3a3640c1e16de90f2. Try using ColorControl to disable dithering on the RX 7800 XT in Windows (https://github.com/Maassoft/ColorControl) and set the color depth to 8-bit in the graphics card control panel.

                          WhisperingWind The commit says "We use spatial dither by default for all output bpc (6/8/10)." Do you know in which context that statement was made? Because it almost sounds like by default the amdgpu driver uses spatial dithering (not temporal dithering) regardless of the GPU type.
