If it was the RTX I wouldn't be able to play anything, but it's smashing all the benchmarks and stress tests, so kind of ruled that out.Ĭurrently running Windows 10 with no NVIDIA drivers at 59Hz and there's no black screen, so it seems to be higher refresh rates causing it. I even went to the extent of plugging in a 250GB SSD installing Ubuntu Mate to see if it was a Windows 10 problem, but nope, as soon as I installed the NVIDIA drivers and ran the card at a higher refresh rate it split seconded black screen there. I also had a vertical line down the left hand side of the screen that completely threw off the screens layout, but turning off the monitor fixed it. When I plugged it into my sons GTX 1050ti, that was using the cable the monitor came with, but the moment I swapped back to my RTX 2080 ti rig (cable and monitor) it happened within a few seconds. It wasn't like I plugged in a cable and it happened straight away, only really started just before Christmas. I have tried the cable it came with that does the same, a new 1.5m cable, which honestly had been working fine since I picked it up in August. Usually happened when I was on the desktop or in a web browser. I had zero issues until about a week or so ago.įunnily enough I never noticed it while gaming either.

I still have 6 months of warranty left (July), but I highly doubt they'll use the monitor all day waiting for the problem to appear. He had been using it for a good 5 hours, I just switched it back to my PC and within 10 minutes of it being used the same black screen happened. I tried another monitor (27' Benq 1080p 144Hz), no problems, but oddly enough none for my sons 7700k/GTX 1050ti which I connected the Predator to using the same settings as I was G-Sync enabled. Wiggling the cables DP or Power won't recreate the issues, it's just intermittent, pretty much happens when it wants.

I did the usual, brand new DP cable, rolled back drivers, reset monitor settings, lowered the frame rate to 120Hz from 144Hhz, disabled G-SYNC, all still the same thing. Over the last week I've been having issues where the screen will go black for a split second then turn back on, this originally started just on the desktop, there is no Windows disconnect/reconnect sound when it happens, just the blue led goes on then off (I have it set to power saving).Īt first it wasn't happening in games, the last 2 days it's happening when gaming, at least 6 – 10 times a day.
