This sounds like a bandwidth management issue, which I know Linux doesn't do as well as Windows (on Intel graphics either).
Firstly you seem to have the wrong (old) kernel still installed. It should be version 5.19 so please try fixing that with: sudo apt install linux-generic or sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-22.04 and reboot. If the problem persists after that then please run: journalctl -b0 > journal.txt lspci -k > lspci.txt and attach the resulting text files here. ** Package changed: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) => xorg-server (Ubuntu) ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: kwin (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - alienware aw3423dwf flickers at 165hz under linux only. + [amdgpu] alienware aw3423dwf flickers at 165hz under linux only. ** Tags added: amdgpu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2003762 Title: [amdgpu] alienware aw3423dwf flickers at 165hz under linux only. Status in kwin package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: alienware aw3423dwf flickers when set to 165hz. Doesn't at 100hz. Works fine under windows. GPU is Radeon 6950XT. If I change refresh rate down to 100hz it's fine. Happened on 22.04 LTS, and the amdgpu ppa made games not work, so I upgraded to 22.10 instead. Description: Ubuntu 22.10 Release: 22.10 I expect the display not to flicker at 165hz. monitor doesn't lose sync, it's just like a few pixel wide bar that runs the width of the screen that shows up randomly for a fraction of a second. Happens when just using the desktop environment, not sure if it happens when playing a game. filename: /lib/modules/5.15.0-52-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu.ko srcversion: BB7C61D4A8F6AFF924034AA 99% sure I should be under X11, not wayland.
