High refreshrate is causing black screen

Hi,

Recently i got an issue with my screen, when i use it with a high refresh rate (more than 100HZ) on a 1920x1080 resolution, i got black screen flickering issue when i’m moving my mouse or switching window.
However, it’s working perfectly on 1600x900 240Hz.

My hardware :

  • RX 6700
  • R7 7800X3D
  • ASUS TUF Gaming VG279QM1A

My System :

  • mesa 24.3.4-cachyos1.2
  • kernel 6.13.0-2-cachyos

What i have already tested ?

  • Switching beetween Wayland and Xorg
  • Downgrade to mesa 24.3.2
  • Change my DE (From KDE to GNOME)
  • Make a fresh install of CachyOS
  • Checking that VRR is off
  • Checking CPU/GPU temps

Thanks :slight_smile:

Does the kernel from Nginx Directory fix this? specifically the one with -4 as the version suffix, thanks.

Thanks for your answer but i never changed my kernel before, how can i proceed to achieve it ?

Download the files from that link. linux-cachyos-6.13.0-4 and it’s headers. Then run sudo pacman -U /path/to/downloaded-file/ in the terminal.

Well, changing the kernel has fixed the problem. Thanks you :slight_smile:

Nice, https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/3915 ← issue thread regarding the bug you’re facing if you’re interested. There are two packages in the link that I gave you. The one that you installed and downloaded is patched with the fix provided by Melissa. -3 reverts the broken commit.
