In most games it only happens when you are clicking something in the menus / game options. While you play, there's basically no Flickering at all. However, in WoW you have a very short flicker everytime when you click on anything interface related. And that's what I wanted to show in this video Open up your inventory for example will cause one of those short flicker. Best seen at 0:06 and 0:40 (focus your eyes on the right side of the screen) Also, the higher your frametimes are, the more often you will experience flickering. Especially when your frametimes are unstable and do have spikes.
Hey ich habe mir auch überlegt, diesen zu zulegen. Bin mir aber noch nicht zu 100% sicher! 😅 Bist du denn zufrieden? Hast du den für vieles schon getestet und wie ist er so im Alltag? Was hattest du für einen Monitor vor dem Xiaomi, ein 16:9?
Ja, absolut. Das Einzige was mich nervt ist tatsächlich das Flackern. Es ist eigentlich absolut harmlos, aber komplett ohne wäre dann doch schöner. Pixelfehler hat meiner keine und die Ausleuchtung ist auch eine der besten, die ich je hatte. Ich kann natürlich nur für mein Modell sprechen, aber ich bin defintiv zufrieden. Davor hatte ich einen Acer xb271hu IPS und der war aufjedenfall bis auf Reaktionszeit und Blickwinkel in allen belangen schlechter. Filme und besonders Spielen in 21:9 macht echt nochmal einiges aus. Wenn man es einmal hatte, möchte man nichtmehr zurück. Um die 144Hz auf dieser Auflösung jedoch ansatzweise vernünftig ausreizen zu können, brauchst du mMn aber mind. eine 2080(s) Wenn es aber nochmal den Gigabyte G34WQC für unter 400 geben sollte, macht der Xiaomi vermutlich kein Sinn mehr, da es sich dabei im grunde um dieselben Geräte handelt und du den Xiaomi meist nur als Import ohne Garantie bekommst. Außerdem scheint der gigabyte ein besseres OSD zu haben und er hat eine etwas höhere maximal Helligkeit.
@@RiseAgainst004 Sicher, weil du bekommst den Xiaomi seit Mitte des Monats auch bei Amazon, NBB, cyberport etc.? Ich war nämlich auch am überlegen den G34WQC oder den Xiaomi zu nehmen, nur gefällt mir der Xiaomi Monitor alleine vom äußeren 100-mal mehr als den von Gigabyte, da hört's bei mir schon beim Standfuß auf! 😂
@@CloudyArtworks deswegen ja wenn es den nochmal für unter 400 gibt. Bei den Händlern, die du aufgelistet hast, kostet er doch 499. Das xiaomi Design ist defintiv das schönere, sehe ich genauso.
@@RiseAgainst004 Hattest du dir dein Xiaomi auch hier über Amazon, etc gekauft? Also würdest du sagen, falls der G34WQC Monitor für unter 400€ erhältlich ist, ist er ein besserer Kauf als ein 499€ Xiaomi, korrekt?
My Asus VG35VQ had the same problem with Guild Wars 2. When opening the inventory (which is CPU bound by the way), it creates a short frame spike below the adaptive sync threshold. This is where LFC kicks in (which is around 48-50fps) and goes off because the frame time jumps immediately back to its normal rate, causing brightness flickering. You can clearly see this when the game is loading for example, where the frame times are sometimes all over the place. The only way to counter this is to stay as far away from the minimum adaptive sync refresh rate as possible. You can also easily reproduce this with the Nvidia pendulum demo. This happens with every monitor with a VA Panel as far as my knowledge goes, except for the monitors that have a dedicated G-Sync module installed. Some people may not notice this flaw while gaming because the FPS is high enough to stay within adaptive sync range. However in CPU bound scenarios like MMOs, the brightness flickering will most likely occur as soon as it gets busy.
Hi, is this monitor flickering with Freesync off? I never use freesync because I don't need it, are the colors of the monitor good? I don't do professional gaming, just productivity, browsing, watching movies, writing mails, maybe sometimes playing Minecraft, Brawlhalla, GTA V. Is it good overall? I currently have a 144Hz AOC C24G1 which is too small for me now and I hate the red bar of the AOC Monitor. I also looked at the Gigabyte monitor with the same price, but they seem to use the same panels. I live in germany, is there any better option for the same price and should I get the Monitor from Amazon or Banggood? Also what about warranty, how many years?
No, the flickering is a freesync issue and only happens when activated. Yeah the monitor is good, the colors are decent and the overall build quality is impressive compared to other brands like Asus or Acer. The gigabyte one you are talking about is quite literally the same monitor with a different menu / name on it. I ordered mine from aliexpress or banggood because of an amazing deal from an Czech warehouse (360€) but this also means I pretty much don't have any warranty at all. For color accuracy results head over to hardware unboxed and check their perfectly done review out. ua-cam.com/video/1hMAw8xCd0Y/v-deo.html
Ok so I use amd rx 5700xt and I am gonna tell you how to get it done. First thing first, yall really need to turn on 10 bit pixel format. This panel is 10 bit pixel format, but by default, it is 8 bit pixel format. So change that first. Go to AMD panel > Graphics > Advanced > Enable 10 bit pixel format. I also turned of anti lag, Image sharpening , radeon enhanced sync. That will do. Do let me know
I had some problems with random blackouts while using G-Sync 144Hz on high quality 8K DP1.4 VESA certified cable (tested three cables!) and after setting like this it seems it solved my issues! Keeping my fingers crossed🤞hoping is solved once and for all! EDIT: no didn't work! But thanks for the 10bits hint
@@FloOoxigen yea I saw your comment. I tried back when I got it but I think never did anything with the extension block. I will do for sure thanks for the info 👍
Same monitor, same problem, EU version, bought a few days ago. With GTX 1080Ti. Please reply when/if a solution is found (firmware update or something) :/
One way to fix this is to increase black level and/or contrast. Less ghosting for a bit worse image quality. That compromise is ok I guess. Also Response time: High!
Which GPU are you using? Not entirely sure if this is the same case but I had an Aorus CV27F (Freesync) with a 1070ti. There were minor flickers as well that were noticeable when transitioning from light to dark (and vice versa) frames/images. I sold it since I wanted to upgrade to a Xiaomi 34. The buyer has an RX570 card and said there literally was no flickering on situations where it should have been back when I was still using it. I thought it might be an issue with non-verified "Gsync compatible" VA freesync monitors while using NVIDIA cards.
I am pretty sure its just an g-sync issue. I only tried it on nvidia cards. 2070s, 2080s, 3070 and 3080. I don't own a AMD card so I couldn't try that thereforce I cant confirm nor deny, but I definitley would assume its working absolutely perfect there , cause well, its AMD and freesync is their tech.

I've experienced flickering with almost all non premium expensive VA panels , maybe I'm sensitive to it more then others , but it giving me headache. It was like two days when I decided to pay for LG with IPS and never looked back , recently I've saw it in a showroom for under 400€ and was like , maybe I was just overreacting.. static content was fine , but open up something action based with VRR and high refresh and I've got exactly same feeling after 10 minutes , I've red the same on a displayninja regarding many VA panels , saw the price and there was only negative - " flickering issues" I was like who cares right ? .. but honestly I would rather pay 800€ for LG IPS ultrawide then 400€ for something that basically you are looking at whole time
Just got this monitor and can confirm flickering issue. I decided to disable it because i wasnt able to notice any difference between gsync on and gsync off; however, flickering was driving me nuts. Other than that, im really happy so far with the purchase, additional FoV in wow is amazing :)
@@RiseAgainst004 If you play on low FPS like 50/60 with gsync disable you notice any problem in image, tearing or something like that? I gonna order to play AAA games at high graphics...
Depending on the deal. It's for sure still worth it. You gotta ask yourself if it's even that big of a deal for you. In almost every game you'll only have flickering in menus and loadingscreens. I will get the gigabyte pendant in like a week or two for 30 bucks more. If that one has no issues at all, this would be the better monitor to buy. However, the xiaomi is definitely the cheaper one and has quite often special offers wuch makes this thing the absolute value king.
@@iii_saif_iii3042 Yes, I had it. Its pretty much the exact same monitor, but with less panel deviations what brightness concerns probably. The xiaomi for example is sold as 300cd/m brightness while the gigabyte one with 350cd/m. Though my xiaomi 34" model reaches almost 390cdm/m, so I think its just so they secure themselves from customer or even legal complains cause some panels might be not so bright as the one I received.
@@RiseAgainst004 some doesn’t know about it. So is it a good monitor? I seen reviews from other reviewer which are all positive, but i encounter to ur video about the negative side. Any other negative side? I’m considering to buy it

@@bassamdamous2641 Its just okay for gaming. Not terrible but not good either. It definitely has some ghosting but its okay. Freesync is always worth to use and I personally would not want to have a monitor without freesync. But as I said above.. in 99% of games it only flickers in menus and loading screens. actual gameplay is fine
If you want to get rid of flickering or these issues with xiaomi curved 34, take a look on "monitor overclocking" - it sounds funny, but go to your nvidia panel and add custom resolution with setting up higher Hz rate (i setted up 165 Hz) and it works, no more flickering. From what ive readed some people made it up to 220Hz lol but someone took a closer look and says that max what u can get noticable on this monitor is 165 Hz. After so many months i fixed this issue, so just need to post it somewhere, lol
I just got this monitor, and I too experienced flickering on the right side of the panel. At the moment it flickers randomly on desktop and / or when I'm just browsing on chrome. I've yet to test it out on games. I'm looking into RMA my monitor to see if the problem repeats itself.
If you have freesync active for windowed fullscreen then switch it to fullscreen only. To RMA the monitor is kind of pointless. Every model has this flickering I show in the video when using freesync.
@@RiseAgainst004 i remember still seeing flickering after disabling gsync(nvidia control panel and freesync premium from the monitor osd). So im wondering if the issue with my monitor is actual flickering, but a slow on/off dimming. Going to try playing a few games to see if it happens.
I've been searching for this monitor for 3 months and im still not sure. I'm using pretty old 24 inch 60hz monitor and everything is going to be upgrade for me. But one thing puts me down about this monitor is most of the videos i watched on youtube , colors look washed out. Not in your video tho. Your video gave me hope :) Can you please tell me some of your thoughts about color , quality, whatever you want. It would be awesome because im really strugling about picking a monitor.
colors are absolutely not washed out. Quite the opposite actually. on default settungs you might decrease contrast and maybe saturation a bit since they are a bit much. red for sure is. when washed out colors are your only concern, you can order one.
have same monitor, I have flickering problems when using my second monitor and with my (main)xiaomi 34 with freesync on. flickering goes away when I turn off freesync on both monitors..
@@RiseAgainst004 I wonder why would you use g sync on an RPG game when the refreshing rate is not that important as the image quality. Not saying Xiaomi shouldn't fix this, tho. G sync is for old video cards if you have a fairly new video card like 1000/2000/3000 series, you don't need it.
@@santiago1543 I hate it when people clearly spread missinformation like it would be common sense. I do have a RTX 3080 and for sure want to use FreeSync. Why? Cause it makes every game smoother and it stops "tearing". Below GTX 10xx you can't even use FreeSync btw. Inform yourself before you spread bs
@@w00tt03t hah well, your question didn't include much either so I just answered. I liked it for the price, the only thing that really annoyed me was the rather slow response time. If you want a monitor mainly for gaming this is probably not the right choice cause the xiaomi has some Ghosting and especially black smearing is bad on it. However the reason why I got rid of It was because mine just broke the other day. Out of nowhere something exploded inside the chasis, power went out and the monitor wouldn't turn on anymore. Then I had a unbelievable deal on a LG cx48 and now I have a monster as a monitor. don't regret a thing though 😁
@@RiseAgainst004 haha ok. Yeah have the LG CX 55. But still not going to use oled for pc stuff :p Shame its broken. Most reviews are very positive on it but still that says nothing these days
@@RiseAgainst004 is there huge difference for contrast, colours, pixel speed between this va monitor and lg oled and alienware ultrawide oled? the price difference also huge too and need to justify that
I have an RTX 3080 with this exact same monitor. Freesync on, G-Sync on, Vsync on IN THE NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL, Vsync off in game, and I have buttery smooth gameplay. No banding, no flickering, no tearing. Using the 1.4 DP cable the monitor came with.
@@kebongski it is not as long as it still shows 3440x1440@144Hz. When your game is running with 130 fps e.g., it has to show 3440x1440@130Hz+-2Hz in there. If it just stays on @144hz although you have 130 ingame it means freesync is either not activated or configured incorrectly. believe me, freesync is not working for you right now. limit your game Framerate to 130 and check the information category again. if it shows 3440x1440@144Hz = freesync is not working 3440x1440@130Hz +-2Hz = freesync is working
Currently I have read all the comments here, the xiaomi is a monitor that I plan to buy soon. And I was checking for possible errors and if they could have a solution ... Obviously it's a problem with freesync. If in the middle of a game you enter a menu, the usual thing is that whether you are using 100fps, 144fps or 360fps within the menu it goes to 30fps more or less and that peak of descent seems to be what results in flickering. It also seemed to me to understand that within the menus there was that flickering while manipulating options ... is this true? Well, apart from this, if I had the xiaomi at hand I would want to try something silly that maybe you can try to solve. With the application "MSI Afterburner" on the download page includes another program also called "rivatuner statistics server" that for years I have used to "force" a vertical synchronization (in addition to the active one) limiting the fps even better than graphic cards for me, giving me less "milliseconds of variability". It may not solve it, but it may reduce it. If you are going to try it, it is only to install, and in the main panel put the desired fps in framerate limit.
I am using it for years actually. I am not sure if I quite understand what you want me to do now? Just capping the Framerate? Also I had a frame rate limit of 100 active in this particular video even.
@@RiseAgainst004 1136 / 5000 Yes, sorry if my English is a little short. The main purpose of this function is to stabilize through frame limiting. Like what you've done, but putting maybe a little extra layer on it is another external application for stability. Just as a plus support. I come from very very low quality TN panels where vertical sync wasn't enough, (I didn't have freesync options available either), and using this app improved my vertical sync. Leveling out the fps variations a bit more. If before they were 60-55-62-59-60 in my fps record, with this I only achieved a variability of 2fps maximum 60-59-60-59-58-60. Of course that makes it a simple fps limiter like what you use, but it "added" me a bit of better result then. I come from graphics GTX870, GTX970, and (RX580now) where I did not have much development point, but I have been able to do tests and tests and discovered things ... well, I do not know for sure XD is just an easy application for easy checking ... Obviously when I jump to a 3440 × 1440 144hz monitor I will have to do a major graphics upgrade like rtx3070
@@davinciprimero9627 okay.. Yeah well, as I said I already had an Framerate limit active. It may help reducing the flickering but it does not go away completely.
So i got this monitor couple of days ago, got this issue. It's weird in how random it is. When i just started using it, the only place i noticed flickering was some menus in AC Odyssey. But then, suddenly, flickering started to appear in places where i think there was none before, while simultaneously flickering stopped in Odyssey menus. Wtf? The games i noticed flickering the most r mmorpg's: GW2 and WoW. In wow i didn't bother to look closely, it doesn't seem to be sever, in GW2 it's more noticeable, but only in some areas (!) and during loading screens. Anyway, tried some shit to no avail, only thing i haven't tried yet is another DP cable. So, even though i haven't found a fix, i did find one thing significantly mitigated this issue for me in GW2. What i did is, i modified Freesync Range to be 70-144Hz in CRU, i have 1660Ti, so this range sorta suits me. So u understand ofc what happens then, as long as fps is under 70 LFC kicks in and thus refresh rate is mostly at 80-144. If and when fps goes above 70 then LFC stops and just Freesync continues. This shit reduced flickering in GW2 significantly for me. The only thing i dunno is what's better in terms of visual perception, 45fps>LFC>90Hz, or pure Freesynced 45 fps (45fps taken just for example). BTW there was another game with severe flickering -- Marvel's Avengers, what caused it there was DRS. As soon as turned it off, the flickering was gone.

@@aj1970 damn. That sucks. It's really weird though. What graphics card you have? What is your avg frame rate? I noticed the higher your frames are the less Flickering occurs. At least that's my impression

Yeah you gotta be sensitive to it I guess. Anyways, in almost all cases it's a real issue only in menus anyway. WoW is just an exception. I have another flickering video with a Dell monitor. Same specs. There I show a game menu and it flickers alot more. But again : gameplay is fine as long your frame times are stable.
@@RiseAgainst004 bought this monitor. Mine just shows up with random horizontal glitches occasionally. Did some research, found out that glitches could be a gpu overheating issue. But the flickering / glitches happens even when gpu is idling at 31c. Haven’t tried any games yet but still gonna try to return and get another one.
@@edgardo1166 it's not bad at all as long as you play in fullscreen and your frametimes are stable. I haven't tried rdr2 though but the majority of games are absolutely fine. it's just the menus and game option that flickers.
In ESO, it's the brightness that's flickering whenever there's some script or process taking place (whenever under 50-60FPS, like during EVERY loading screens for instance, or when changing from one cell to another in Open World, also during group combat or when there's a lot of stuff that's happening). It's pretty annoying! In short, it's NOT a good monitor for gaming. I'd even say that for gaming, anything but Xiaomi, it's a very, very bad monitor for gaming anything !
Well, it's a panel / freesync issue. All of these 34" ultra wide suffer from the exact same issue. Either live with it or just disable freesync /gsync. Not really xiaomis fault.
Flickering is not the only one problem - i have latest nvidia drivers and 3070 via DP. So even if i have GSYNC ON - i see tearing with Nvidia Pendulum DEMO. Only VSYNC ON works fine, GSYNC ON acts almost same like NO VSYNC. Tried from 60 to 144 hz. So the availability to switch ON feature does not mean that it works. Second thing i have noticed with this display that sometimes i have blurry text on 144hz, especially noticeable on magenta colors. Switching Freesync ON/OFF fixing problem for some time before you switch resolution. 120hz does not have such issue.

Man I managed to remove that stupid flicker now, after getting upset with it since 6 month, with cru i changed freesync range from 48 - 144 to 80 - 144, but REALLY IMPORTANT, you need to REMOVE " default extension block " in extension block part because, as seen here www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-Custom-Resolution-Utility-CRU : " NVIDIA does not support default extension blocks and will ignore all changes if a default extension block exists. " it finally works as attended, I just had to add a displayid 1.3 in exension block to add 144hz natively Hope I helped
Please explain in detail! You changed 48-144 to 80-144 (V rate from Display Properties panel clicking Edit near screen name? Or you added a "freesync range" in Extension blocks?) + removed the greyed data "Default Extension Block" at the bottom? And this solved the brightness flickering on XiaoMi Mi 34 screen? Should I remove all Detailed and Standard resolutions too? Should I delete Extension blocks: CTA-861 (with 5 detailed res, 4 data blocks) too?
It worked, but for one reason only: it simply won't use g-sync (freesync monitor settings) below 80fps, that's why there is no visible brightness flickering, so it's not a proper fix unfortunately for 60fps/Hz games with fps fluctuations even by +/-2 fps. I think there is no brightness flickering solution for these VA panels vs freesync (and g-sync compatibility), unless a firmware update comes out for XiaoMi Mi 34... Thanks for the CRU hint anyway.
No idea where this is coming from, but no, this does not change anything. I tried 5 different ones at this point , even bought a new one capable of 8k60, HBR3 and VESA certified. A different DP cable does not help.
Well, some are more sensitive than others. I for sure notice it without paying attention to it and for WoW i disabled freesync entirely since it really annoyed me. Other games are fine though.
In most games it only happens when you are clicking something in the menus / game options. While you play, there's basically no Flickering at all. However, in WoW you have a very short flicker everytime when you click on anything interface related. And that's what I wanted to show in this video
Open up your inventory for example will cause one of those short flicker. Best seen at 0:06 and 0:40 (focus your eyes on the right side of the screen)
Also, the higher your frametimes are, the more often you will experience flickering. Especially when your frametimes are unstable and do have spikes.
Hey ich habe mir auch überlegt, diesen zu zulegen. Bin mir aber noch nicht zu 100% sicher! 😅

My Asus VG35VQ had the same problem with Guild Wars 2. When opening the inventory (which is CPU bound by the way), it creates a short frame spike below the adaptive sync threshold. This is where LFC kicks in (which is around 48-50fps) and goes off because the frame time jumps immediately back to its normal rate, causing brightness flickering. You can clearly see this when the game is loading for example, where the frame times are sometimes all over the place. The only way to counter this is to stay as far away from the minimum adaptive sync refresh rate as possible. You can also easily reproduce this with the Nvidia pendulum demo.
This happens with every monitor with a VA Panel as far as my knowledge goes, except for the monitors that have a dedicated G-Sync module installed. Some people may not notice this flaw while gaming because the FPS is high enough to stay within adaptive sync range. However in CPU bound scenarios like MMOs, the brightness flickering will most likely occur as soon as it gets busy.
Hi, is this monitor flickering with Freesync off? I never use freesync because I don't need it, are the colors of the monitor good? I don't do professional gaming, just productivity, browsing, watching movies, writing mails, maybe sometimes playing Minecraft, Brawlhalla, GTA V.
Is it good overall? I currently have a 144Hz AOC C24G1 which is too small for me now and I hate the red bar of the AOC Monitor.
I also looked at the Gigabyte monitor with the same price, but they seem to use the same panels.
I live in germany, is there any better option for the same price and should I get the Monitor from Amazon or Banggood? Also what about warranty, how many years?
No, the flickering is a freesync issue and only happens when activated. Yeah the monitor is good, the colors are decent and the overall build quality is impressive compared to other brands like Asus or Acer. The gigabyte one you are talking about is quite literally the same monitor with a different menu / name on it. I ordered mine from aliexpress or banggood because of an amazing deal from an Czech warehouse (360€) but this also means I pretty much don't have any warranty at all.

Ok so I use amd rx 5700xt and I am gonna tell you how to get it done.
First thing first, yall really need to turn on 10 bit pixel format. This panel is 10 bit pixel format, but by default, it is 8 bit pixel format. So change that first. Go to AMD panel > Graphics > Advanced > Enable 10 bit pixel format. I also turned of anti lag, Image sharpening , radeon enhanced sync. That will do. Do let me know

Which GPU are you using? Not entirely sure if this is the same case but I had an Aorus CV27F (Freesync) with a 1070ti. There were minor flickers as well that were noticeable when transitioning from light to dark (and vice versa) frames/images. I sold it since I wanted to upgrade to a Xiaomi 34. The buyer has an RX570 card and said there literally was no flickering on situations where it should have been back when I was still using it.
I thought it might be an issue with non-verified "Gsync compatible" VA freesync monitors while using NVIDIA cards.
I am pretty sure its just an g-sync issue. I only tried it on nvidia cards. 2070s, 2080s, 3070 and 3080.

I've experienced flickering with almost all non premium expensive VA panels , maybe I'm sensitive to it more then others , but it giving me headache. It was like two days when I decided to pay for LG with IPS and never looked back , recently I've saw it in a showroom for under 400€ and was like , maybe I was just overreacting.. static content was fine , but open up something action based with VRR and high refresh and I've got exactly same feeling after 10 minutes , I've red the same on a displayninja regarding many VA panels , saw the price and there was only negative - " flickering issues" I was like who cares right ? .. but honestly I would rather pay 800€ for LG IPS ultrawide then 400€ for something that basically you are looking at whole time

If you want to get rid of flickering or these issues with xiaomi curved 34, take a look on "monitor overclocking" - it sounds funny, but go to your nvidia panel and add custom resolution with setting up higher Hz rate (i setted up 165 Hz) and it works, no more flickering. From what ive readed some people made it up to 220Hz lol but someone took a closer look and says that max what u can get noticable on this monitor is 165 Hz.

I just got this monitor, and I too experienced flickering on the right side of the panel. At the moment it flickers randomly on desktop and / or when I'm just browsing on chrome. I've yet to test it out on games. I'm looking into RMA my monitor to see if the problem repeats itself.
If you have freesync active for windowed fullscreen then switch it to fullscreen only. To RMA the monitor is kind of pointless. Every model has this flickering I show in the video when using freesync.

If it just stays on @144hz although you have 130 ingame it means freesync is either not activated or configured incorrectly.
believe me, freesync is not working for you right now.
limit your game Framerate to 130 and check the information category again.
if it shows
3440x1440@144Hz = freesync is not working
3440x1440@130Hz +-2Hz = freesync is working
Currently I have read all the comments here, the xiaomi is a monitor that I plan to buy soon. And I was checking for possible errors and if they could have a solution ... Obviously it's a problem with freesync. If in the middle of a game you enter a menu, the usual thing is that whether you are using 100fps, 144fps or 360fps within the menu it goes to 30fps more or less and that peak of descent seems to be what results in flickering. It also seemed to me to understand that within the menus there was that flickering while manipulating options ... is this true?
Well, apart from this, if I had the xiaomi at hand I would want to try something silly that maybe you can try to solve.
With the application "MSI Afterburner" on the download page includes another program also called "rivatuner statistics server" that for years I have used to "force" a vertical synchronization (in addition to the active one) limiting the fps even better than graphic cards for me, giving me less "milliseconds of variability". It may not solve it, but it may reduce it.
If you are going to try it, it is only to install, and in the main panel put the desired fps in framerate limit.
I am using it for years actually. I am not sure if I quite understand what you want me to do now? Just capping the Framerate?
Also I had a frame rate limit of 100 active in this particular video even.
@@RiseAgainst004 1136 / 5000
Yes, sorry if my English is a little short. The main purpose of this function is to stabilize through frame limiting. Like what you've done, but putting maybe a little extra layer on it is another external application for stability. Just as a plus support. I come from very very low quality TN panels where vertical sync wasn't enough, (I didn't have freesync options available either), and using this app improved my vertical sync. Leveling out the fps variations a bit more. If before they were 60-55-62-59-60 in my fps record, with this I only achieved a variability of 2fps maximum 60-59-60-59-58-60. Of course that makes it a simple fps limiter like what you use, but it "added" me a bit of better result then. I come from graphics GTX870, GTX970, and (RX580now) where I did not have much development point, but I have been able to do tests and tests and discovered things ... well, I do not know for sure XD is just an easy application for easy checking ...
Obviously when I jump to a 3440 × 1440 144hz monitor I will have to do a major graphics upgrade like rtx3070
@@davinciprimero9627 okay.. Yeah well, as I said I already had an Framerate limit active. It may help reducing the flickering but it does not go away completely.
So i got this monitor couple of days ago, got this issue. It's weird in how random it is. When i just started using it, the only place i noticed flickering was some menus in AC Odyssey. But then, suddenly, flickering started to appear in places where i think there was none before, while simultaneously flickering stopped in Odyssey menus. Wtf? The games i noticed flickering the most r mmorpg's: GW2 and WoW. In wow i didn't bother to look closely, it doesn't seem to be sever, in GW2 it's more noticeable, but only in some areas (!) and during loading screens. Anyway, tried some shit to no avail, only thing i haven't tried yet is another DP cable. So, even though i haven't found a fix, i did find one thing significantly mitigated this issue for me in GW2. What i did is, i modified Freesync Range to be 70-144Hz in CRU, i have 1660Ti, so this range sorta suits me. So u understand ofc what happens then, as long as fps is under 70 LFC kicks in and thus refresh rate is mostly at 80-144. If and when fps goes above 70 then LFC stops and just Freesync continues. This shit reduced flickering in GW2 significantly for me. The only thing i dunno is what's better in terms of visual perception, 45fps>LFC>90Hz, or pure Freesynced 45 fps (45fps taken just for example). BTW there was another game with severe flickering -- Marvel's Avengers, what caused it there was DRS. As soon as turned it off, the flickering was gone.

It's pretty annoying! In short, it's NOT a good monitor for gaming. I'd even say that for gaming, anything but Xiaomi, it's a very, very bad monitor for gaming anything !
Well, it's a panel / freesync issue. All of these 34" ultra wide suffer from the exact same issue. Either live with it or just disable freesync /gsync.
Not really xiaomis fault.
Flickering is not the only one problem - i have latest nvidia drivers and 3070 via DP. So even if i have GSYNC ON - i see tearing with Nvidia Pendulum DEMO. Only VSYNC ON works fine, GSYNC ON acts almost same like NO VSYNC. Tried from 60 to 144 hz. So the availability to switch ON feature does not mean that it works.
Second thing i have noticed with this display that sometimes i have blurry text on 144hz, especially noticeable on magenta colors. Switching Freesync ON/OFF fixing problem for some time before you switch resolution. 120hz does not have such issue.

seems like it? Does decreasing the video playback speed help? For me theres clearly a flicker everytime I open the inventory
oh shit, so it was that.... I was wondering why in many games complex texture shadows produce grain patron or pixel :S
It does not matter at all now that I think about it is very funny
Did u solve the issue ?
No and I don't think there is a fix. You just gotta live with it.
Well i assume you got an Nvidia gpu. Hence, you should have bought a gsync monitor, if you want to have shit running flawlessly
I do, and I am not exactly complaining but I mean there are hundreds of freesync monitors working flawlessly with nvidia gpus so its not toally unrealistic to expect it to be working.
@@RiseAgainst004 we both went the cheap way, but i don't regret it. The monitor has nice estetics and good picture quality. I manly use it for work, because of the "situation". Anyways, stay healthy buddy. I'll post if I can figure smth out. What's your gpu?
Have you been able to fix it?
no, theres probably no fix until Xiaomi does something in the firmware. I don't think we (the customers) are able to fix it by ourselves
It seems some people have a newer version that has ' premium freesync' option in settings and dont encounter this , but there is no way we can update the monitor firmware i. I can't find any anyway. :(
@@badeakristoferson664 that's just the EU model and I had it for a few hours. It was actually worse than my Chinese model for me
@@RiseAgainst004 thx , that's a relief (now i woun;t regret buying it, thinking the EU version was better)
. I will test my monitor soon , im just waiting for the gpu rtx2080 I will be able to use display port and see the flicker for myselfe.
@@badeakristoferson664 I really wonder where these claims come from though? Like either they are lying, are just not sensitive enough to notice or they actually don't have flickering. But if so, why? I for sure did have flickering with the EU model. I don't believe that there is a single xiaomi 34" monitor model out there which does not have these issues with a nvidia card. I just don't
Hey dude, i just bought that monitor and had the same issue. Turned out it was FreeSync premium (in the settings of the display) once i disabled that everything was fine. Hope it'll work for you too, write me when you try it.
Yeah it is freesync, but thats the point; I want to use freesync without flickering.
@@RiseAgainst004 if you're using a nvidia gpu you'll be fine. If it's an amd one then i don't know..
@@as424100 you mean flashes by flickering?
I can barely see the flickering even on 0.25x speed. If this is the "problem" of this monitor then I will proceed with my purchase.
Hi! I have the same issue, especially during Warzone. Does anyone think an AMD Card would solve the problem?
I've seen someone claiming it even flickers with an AMD card, but I don't know if that is true. I don't own one unfortunately.
@@RiseAgainst004 Okay, I‘ll try and get an amd card to see if it makes a difference.
I’ve just tried an AMD Radeon 5700 XT and didn‘t find any flickering.
@@DerMrRob this is getting ridiculous. I mean it's freesync so there's absolutely no reason why it should flicker, but some dude told me even confirmed it 3 times that he has Flickering with an AMD card..b same with the people who claim they fixed the flickering with a better cable.. I don't know what to believe anymore honestly
@@RiseAgainst004 I see your point, I can just tell you about what worked for me. Of course this doesn't actually have to be the same with your monitor. A better cable didn't work for me, too. My problem is that the monitor kind of forces me to buy a AMD card instead of am NVIDIA card as soon I want so upgrade my system. Btw., can you tell me how many frames per seconds you get in WoW?
I bought the same monitor, I have same issue in Overwatch menu, and Apex legends.
I fixed this by using CRU
(Go to nvidia panel, reset all to default)
(Open CRU, and edit the monitor to frequency 50-142
restart driver using the provided. exe or restart all the PC.
Fixed the flickering.
if the above value dont work try different number so go for 139 as high or 138., then try to limit the frame in game to below 142.
As soon as I go above 124hz in frequency the save button becomes greyed out? What exactly did you do? Have you edited an existing setting or added a new one? Thanks
@@RiseAgainst004 make sure the monitor is set at 144 under both Nvidia panel and win display settings.
Use CRU the edit button is at top next to the name of the monitor, press edit, then under horizontal Freq set the value from 50 to 142 or 140 or 139 , 138 experiment with the values until no more flickering.
Make sure every time you change the value both the g sync options are not selected then restart the driver, then enable gsync again and test the games.
My settings worked at 50 to 142, I had a one single flicker in apex legends loading menu.
But so far nothing is flickering under all other games smooth game play
@@ecod7r didn't change anything unfortunately. disabled G-Sync, restored defaut settings in nvidia panel and changed it to 50-142,140 and 138. Restarted inbetween everytime :(
@@RiseAgainst004 I am selecting full screen gsyn , try full screen only g sync, you see the flickering is to do with disable the LFC feature,
Ok try again with 40 to 142 make sure you disable gsync change the number, restart the driver then re enable gsync
@@ecod7r I'm always using full screen gsync. I don't see the point for windowed cause even gsync monitors hat Flickering in regular applications like Spotify e.g.
Unfortunately still no change. Thanks for trying to help tho. Really appreciated
Man I managed to remove that stupid flicker now, after getting upset with it since 6 month, with cru i changed freesync range from 48 - 144 to 80 - 144, but REALLY IMPORTANT, you need to REMOVE " default extension block " in extension block part because, as seen here www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-Custom-Resolution-Utility-CRU : " NVIDIA does not support default extension blocks and will ignore all changes if a default extension block exists. " it finally works as attended, I just had to add a displayid 1.3 in exension block to add 144hz natively
Hope I helped
Please explain in detail! You changed 48-144 to 80-144 (V rate from Display Properties panel clicking Edit near screen name? Or you added a "freesync range" in Extension blocks?) + removed the greyed data "Default Extension Block" at the bottom? And this solved the brightness flickering on XiaoMi Mi 34 screen?
Should I remove all Detailed and Standard resolutions too? Should I delete Extension blocks: CTA-861 (with 5 detailed res, 4 data blocks) too?
It worked, but for one reason only: it simply won't use g-sync (freesync monitor settings) below 80fps, that's why there is no visible brightness flickering, so it's not a proper fix unfortunately for 60fps/Hz games with fps fluctuations even by +/-2 fps.
I think there is no brightness flickering solution for these VA panels vs freesync (and g-sync compatibility), unless a firmware update comes out for XiaoMi Mi 34...
Thanks for the CRU hint anyway.
This worked, thanks my dude
Try a better DP cable should work then
No idea where this is coming from, but no, this does not change anything. I tried 5 different ones at this point , even bought a new one capable of 8k60, HBR3 and VESA certified. A different DP cable does not help.
switch to DP cable and try again.
Already did. Didn't change anything
@@RiseAgainst004 this has been reported with gigabyte , AOC panels. it seems its a settings issue.
there are several reddit workaround.
@@ecod7r could you send me a link or tell me the workaround please?
i included a video check it out
@@ecod7r most of the people on reddit complain about flicker lower the hz range. I mean why you play on uw if you only get under 48 fps haha
I didn't even notice until u zoomed in xD I guess its whatever if you are busy u will not notice it
Well, some are more sensitive than others. I for sure notice it without paying attention to it and for WoW i disabled freesync entirely since it really annoyed me. Other games are fine though.
I've got the same issue and it's veeeery noticeable
@@Remus1033 in what games?
Lower the hz to 120
doesn't help, still flickers. Anyway lowering the refreshrate on a 144hz monitor is not really an fix imo. I mean you bought a 144hz not 120 monitor
