Says monitor is not nearly as smooth as a GSYNC module version and that it has flickering with local dimming enabled.
Simple turn local dimming off it doesn't have much use anyway(onlyhdr), flickering is the wrong word it doesn't flicker. ofcource you can see it work on a dark screen... but it never flickers you just see the birghtness move.
(and in real dark movies and hdr you can see the backlight dim an brighten a lot you could call that flicker there, but you can manage that in the osd with variable backlight setting you can either turn that one off or on slow medium and fast. )
so yes there are two setting for the backlight when hdr is on ( and this all apply only for hdr )
And i would say the gsync competible is just as good as normal gsync. it functions the same and no tearing. A lot of people don't even set it up correctly or have it really on at all. you need vsync + gsync on in the driver and limit the fps a few below the max hz so lets say 157 when you use 160hz
if you haven't played before with gsync yet, its soo much smoother and lower inputlag than even 300+ unlocked fps with no sync. A lot of people don't know you must have v-sync + G-Sync on in the driver and lock the fps ingame to a few fps below 160hz zo 157fps. then you always have the fastest response / lowest input lag.

also people tend to forget to tick the box at nr3. with a gsync competible screen --->

i don't recall having to turn that on with a "real"screen but i might be wrong just did a fresh install today everything is fine here dough nothing to do with the monitor juist win10 builds over and over wanted a fresh one.
there are no problems or flaws with this monitor here.
And playing with a low fps on a screen like this is pretty useless imho you gonne need a 3080 or 3080ti for this. if you dont want that its better too buy the 34gn950 imho
And again this screen never flickers with or without gsync. its time tftcentral or somebody who measures this reviews this.
and yes YOU NEED VSYNC ON + GSYNC ON this is how its made to function. and cap the fps a few below max hz.
here are the results

its so funny how little people know their stuff.
