    I don't know if it's some settings in/out of the game I've screwed up but yesterday I noticed that the image flickers slightly. It only occurs in the game, and not always either, almost as if the videocard gets overheated after a while or something. The only major thing I've done lately was that I capped the global settings in the NVIDIA control panel at 72 fps (on a 144 hz monitor) but that's not causing this, is it?

    Anyone have any idea? Thanks.

    I switched to restricting the software instead and I think that did the trick.

    I use game unrestricted, NVidia panel capped at 142 with G-Sync enabled. Good results with 144Hz moni.

    It’s possible the FPS cap is causing the issue, especially since you're capping at 72 FPS on a 144 Hz monitor. Try either disabling the cap or setting it closer to your monitor’s refresh rate (e.g., 144 FPS). Also, check for GPU overheating by monitoring temperatures during gameplay. :)

    Well as I said the issue is solved somehow, but thanks anyway guys.

    The reason I’m capping at 72 is because I want crisp visuals at a steady framerate, and my 3060 card can’t handle that at 144 fps, and as 72 is half of the monitor’s refresh rate I see the same frame twice (even number) and I’m used to console gaming anyway so 72 fps is plenty for me.
