X34 Top of Screen Flickers with Gsync?

Hey everyone - I just got a new X34 Predator and I'm noticing an issue.

I overclocked my screen to 100Hz successfully. When I have G-Sync on and launch games in full screen mode, however, I notice the top of the screen will flicker a bit. This ONLY happens on loading screens and menus when the FPS drops very low. This issue appears for 90 and 95Hz as well --- turning off gsync makes the issue go away.

The issue is identical to what is present in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTbCYfMnzAM.

Everything else with the monitor is flawless, but given the high price I paid, this issue is a bit of an annoyance... I'm not sure if this is a panel defect or a Gsync flaw. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'd hate to RMA the unit and get a monitor with more severe issues....

Old post but i have same issue with x34a.

Only top of the screen flickers. Mostly its visible when gaming and fps drops under 30.

Let me know if any fix found.

I also have the same issue, mainly on loading screens or menus. Did some investigations and apparently it is a G-Sync thing: http://techreport.com/news/27449/g-sync-monitors-flicker-in-some-games-and-here-why

Reassuring to know there is nothing wrong with the monitor. You can get rid of it by turning G-Sync off, or running WIndow mode games (which also often does not use G-Sync).
