I have an Nvidia 3090 paired with an LG C2 42inch display. Whenever I play a game with VRR enabled, I get really bad flickering where it will intermittently show a black frame. For certain games it will just show a black screen. This happens at both 100Hz and 120Hz when VRR is enabled and occurs in …

Can confirm VRR is fixed with the 550 beta drivers! Out of order frame issue on Wayland also seems to be fixed (I know the full fix won’t be out until explicit sync is adopted across the display stack, but at least it seems to be smooth on my end and isn’t giving me a seizure).

545 drivers have bad flickering and black screen issues when VRR is enabled

There isn’t. And won’t be until explicit sync lands to Wayland and compositors.
