    hmmmm ok flickering secondary monitor since the ASUS update.

    details: a monitor on a USB-C dock lol it goes black for a moment, comes back, sometimes teh windows jump to the main screen. ive rebooted plenty. id love a checklist rahter than random tips, since Ive already tried random tips. I have about an hour tonight to test things, and I would rather go through them in a sensible order. tell me what u would check first and I will report back with results. seriously need help here 馃槶

    is G-Sync/FreeSync/Adaptive Sync enabled on either monitor?

    oof if none of that helps, roll back to the previous driver to confirm... if the flicker disappears, report it with your exact setup to the ASUS feedback channel and stay on the older driver for now. lmk how it goes

    If the windows jump to teh main screen, the monitor is actually disconnecting. Thats link training, which can be cable quality, DisplayPort sleep or the dock. Try a certified cable and disable the monitors own deep sleep/auto input switching. worked for me anyway 馃し

    nah tbh windows jumping screens points more at the cable or monitor sleep than the driver, in my experience. Id test that before rolling back.

    @lucar37 turned off adaptive sync on teh secondary monitor and teh flicker stopped completley. main screen still runs at full refresh. peace at last. cant believe it was that simple lol
