My first guess is that your pc is a potato, or the games you have played are highly unoptimized. Can you give us your computer specs? Any sample game? Are you sure that it's your monitor's brightness going up, and not the image starting faded out (darker) and then getting brighter until it shows fully? Are you using a ssd, or a very ancient hdd that does some weird sounds?

Comp is top of the line: XTX and the rest of the hardware matches. (HAHA HDD) QD-OLED monitor. Right now I am playing Bad Memories and here the flickering happens, every time I click. I tried disabling HDR but same issue without.

Just tried a game I had installed from before, Eruption Imminent. The text moved slower there, so I could notice a new detail: it's like 1 quick flick when clicking, then 2 more flicks when the text is final.

Also this does only happen when I play in fullscreen. If I do windowed and even maximize it this problem does not occur at all.
Is it a laptop?
