HP Omen 34C Flickering w/ Gsync/freesync

[neal301]

Hello,

This is incredibly frustrating. I purchased this $400 monitor last week and I'm trying to play a game on it. The screen flickers when I use freesync with my nvidia gpu. Disabling adaptive sync in the menu stops the flickering. This is NOT an acceptable fix, freesync is standard these days and I paid a hefty sum for this monitor to work perfectly.

I see other users have had this issue. Is there a fix? This is absolutely unacceptable for a product at this price point. This did not happen on my older crappy pixio monitor I got from amazon that used freesync. This is specific to HP's hardware/software.
