Acer Predator X35 Firmware Update Fixes Flickering Issues
The Acer flagship monitor, Predator X35 has been available for a while now and some users have seen issues with display flickering or showing vertical stripes in games.
Acers's 2000 USD/EUR monitor offers an ultra-wide G-Sync screen with HDR1000 certification and full-array local dimming with 512 zones. the Predator X35 packs a 35-inch 3440 x 1440 VA panel with up to a 200 Hz refresh rate, 1800R curvature and G-Sync Ultimate support.
The firmware update would solve the problem and is due to "sensitivity to certain color patterns" that the LCD panel is struggling with. As far as I could see, the update is not yet available but will be in the next week or so.
Acer Predator X35 Optional Firmware Update
Why does my Predator X35 monitor flicker or show vertical lines when gaming?The Acer Predator X35 may occasionally flicker or show vertical lines while displaying graphics from certain games.

these issues have nothing to do with the gsync module, its acers programming of the panel emittors.

How exactly do you explain the same exact issue being present on the asus equivalent of this display?

Many models or many manufacturers as a whole do not update monitors and gpus. I wonder why there is no law to force them. TVs, Laptops and motherboards or other hardware/devices usually fix their issues that way. Is it laziness? Or they just do not care?

i don't think many of them really bother learning the eccentricities that certain panels come with.
for the issue with the panel in the x35 and the asus equivalent, insufficient drive voltage was being used with the overdrive modes that are enabled when gsync is,
the vendor firmware block that exists in the gsync module is where this should be tweaked and adjusted, but it was never caused by the gsync module or nvidia's firmware.
