[VG240Y P] Intermittent Black screen with Freesync on

Whenever I have Freesync turned on on my VG240Y P monitor, I get black screens that last around 2-3 seconds which is very annoying. Turning Freesync off solves the problem but I want to use it because that's why I bought it. I only noticed it while playing games and never happens while doing stuff on the Desktop. It is really frustrating because I would really like to use this feature since I bought this monitor to use Freesync and my GPU does support it.


My PC Specs are:

  • GPU: RX 590 Sapphire 8GB GDDR5 Nitro+
  • CPU: Ryzen 5 2600
  • RAM: 2x8GB DDR4 3200MHZ
  • PSU: 700W Hyper 700
  • MOBO: ASUS TUF x470-Plus Gaming

So far I tried:

- Using custom resolution in the AMD Driver (No luck)
- Updating the AMD driver (No luck)
- Rolling back drivers (No luck)
- Have put the monitor on "Never sleep" mode. (No luck)
- Installing the VG240Y driver manually (No luck)
- Tried to use AMD Enhanced Sync with Freesync on (No luck)
- Turning Color Depth to 8 from 12 (No luck)

Just got this monitor like 1-2 week ago and I've been battling with this issue since. So far I'm satisfied and also disappointed with this product since it has 144hz, but I can't use Freesync on it properly...

Any help would be nice and appreciated.

    It's connected by HDMI 2.0, the Cable that was supplied with the monitor. Unfortunately, I have no DP cable to try it out

    RX590 SAPPHIRE EDITION NITRO+ 8GB

    Haven't tried those options, but I'd rather not choose to because i bought the monitor for 144hz 1080p...
  • Neste caso, seria apenas para testar.

  • There are some solutions for other freesync monitor models in the amd community, see: https://community.amd.com/thread/237313
    I would try the solution posted by user mariusdambu, who used the CRU program.
