Gigabyte G27QC Freesync Flicker Fix (well mostly)

So my new Gigabyte G27QC Monitor showed up in the mail a few days ago, and i was super excited to receive it. The monitor looks great, great image quality, and the colors are absolutely fantastic.
All the pro's aside this monitor has one major flaw, and it is mostly due to the Samsung VA panel that is used, so this is not a bite at Gigabyte.

After many hours of the last couple of days i've finally found a "fix" for the constant flickering/artifacting that was happening only inside games where fps was fluctuating often. Typically this would happen (and still does to some extent) on the loading screens of WoW, or when i was in a higher population area where my fps tended to fluctuate.
This Article https://www.displayninja.com/what-is-freesync-brightness-flickering/ was critical in figuring out the problem, as i have a nvidia gpu and a freesync monitor. i had tried everything, and thought i was going to have to return the monitor until i found this article.

Essentially what you are going to do is download CRU if you don't have it already, and change your lower end V rate to 90 from 48 and adjust your higher end to 144, or you can keep it at 165, but i have a gtx 1070 so at 1440p i'm not hitting that refresh rate to often until i upgrade. you can also in the bottom data block click edit, and add the freesync range from 90-144/165 too, as my monitor didn't have this as an input when it arrived. once that's done, hit the restart64.exe and you are onto the next step.
from here we go into NVCP and turn on Vsync GLOBALLY. honestly i'm not to sure why but if you turn off vsync entirely, or only in game, you still get quite a bit of flicker, but adding it globally seems to reduce the flicker the most.

From here on out you should be mostly flicker free, minus those loading screens because they tend to lock the refresh rate and is a known issue for this types of configurations as is. I hope this helps, because it was forever frustrating to me having purchased something that was malfunctioning. Although it's not perfect, it's pretty damn good.
