Are you using the DisplayPort?
Do you have the latest drivers?
Is this the G9 or G7? R9 390 is displayport 1.2. For both the G9 it should support full res but definitely not at 240hz. Unsure how you would get it to connect at full res at a suitable frame rate. Probably need to change settings in monitor OSD to lower hz manually.

Hopefully you have better luck than me. I payed the extra for next day delivery and it hasn’t even been picked up by yodel. The company in question has huge phone queues charged at 10ppm.

Anyone that has a G7/G9 do you notice any ghosting on these displays? Also, when adaptive sync is off and the fastest response time is selected, do you notice any tearing?
I'm trying to...but when I download the bin file from Samsung, unzip it and put the USB in the correct port in the back...it says it cant find the correct update file? Anyone else have this issue?
Edit: Fixed - it clearly doesn't like large USB Flash drives.

What is the exact model of your R9 390? What Displayport settings you have available on your monitor settings?
I did upgrade it, for some it has lowered or eliminated flickering completely, also I noticed my text become a bit more sharp/clear after upgrade.
If I don't have FreeSync, I do notice tearing even on high FPS so VRR is a must feature for myself, will monitor situation the next 1-2 weeks how this will develop, I have occassional flickering.
Please test another USB port, if still doesn't help, ensure you have connected the cable from USB B to your PC.
Where exactly did you get the file? I can find it buts it’s not a bin file but an iso one, is this correct?

Thanks, that's really helpful. I can't stand tearing, so VRR is a must for me too. I'm going to do the same and see if there is any positive news about the flickering situation - hopefully it will get fixed, else I think I'll get cold feet and cancel my order... I feel really sad writing that, but I don't see an alternative. I'm in the position where I really need a super wide or dual screens (preferably the former), but I also want a good gaming display. The G9 on paper ticks all of my boxes, it will be sad if it isn't able to do so in reality.
Just been reading the latest - seems samsung have instructed at least one store to pull all the inventory and return to them. Sounds serious....... A shame though as 2 users with the LG38 said they would keep the G9!
Probably explains why Samsung UK and other places no longer know when they will get new stock due to a product recall.
Not noticed any flickering at all on mine what so ever.....although as im only running a GTX 980ti until the 3080ti comes out, I cant run HDR, max 144hz at this Res....and Gsync doesn't seem to be an option in the Nvidia control panel? So not the best test case ha

Why is the G9 under a recall?
No one seems to have a clue at the moment.

What graphics card driver version are you using? I've read that some versions work better than others. It might be useful for those having issues with flickering to use the same version of the driver to see if that fixes it.
I don't have any flickering either if I disable adaptive sync so if you don't have adaptive sync, you should not see any flickering.
