Background: My monitor has a local dim option that produces flicker when combined with VRR. So for games where I care about HDR I have been turning off VRR.

My question is, to avoid judder and have evenly paced frames, what is the recommendation?

I have a max refresh of 160 so if I can’t hit that consistently should a cap at something that divides evenly into 160? For instance, 80 or 40. Should I avoid other common frame caps, like 60 or 120?

    I would not recommend it for anything besides running Windows as it has issue connecting to Linux and Mac devices (duel booting Linux and have a MacBook).

    Actually I wouldn’t recommend it period. I’ve had a lot of problems with it.

      I’m sorry to hear.

      I’ve not heard of a display specifically not working well with Linux (or other operating systems). Are you within the return window?

        Unfortunately no.
