I do not recommend anyone with a GSYNC monitor ever uses this....it broke my display driver until a reinstall.

I was using Blender and Daz and Unity and Photoshop today with no problem for hours, and every day without issue for years and years. Never once have I had a flickering problem. I decided to set up Moonlight on the android tablet and installed Moonlight and Sunshine on the host PC (since the sunshine install links to the moonlight github for some reason) to try to do some sculpting in Blender on the couch with a Wacom tablet.

After installing Sunshine on my host PC I encountered flickering in every single program even after uninstalling it. A reboot, clearing cache, and virtually every thing else I tried failed to fix it. GSYNC would NOT disable in nvidia control panel. This is not a coincidence, today I had no problems at all no flickering until I installed this program.

I even uninstalled it, and cleared it out and went to install Nvidia drivers to see if it would fix the problem and my Nvidia installation failed (due to hard drive space error), but guess what? Before I would use mouse wheel in Blender to scroll materials and the flicker would happen on EVERY Frame, but after this failed install - the flicker is gone.

I do not want to blame a software for an issue like this, so I took the plunge and reinstalled Sunshine.

The flicker is back and reinstalling the driver fixed it again. I won't ever use this software again and I want others with gsync monitors to be aware of this as it is literally insane that a virtual display driver has hijacked my PC display driver even after a full uninstall. Others need to be aware this can happen and from reading the issues on this github I will probably never try it again but need others to know it broke my display drivers. (Don't even try to argue with me that it didn't, because it did since it happened BOTH times after I reinstalled it).

I don't even want to post a bug report and deal with this, this software has soured me on EVER using a Remote Desktop application and I will never try another one again. Just a warning to others.

Acer Predator 32 Inch GSync 4k monitor, Windows 10, RTX 3080, 64 GB, i7 8700k

Behavior before installing Sunshine - happy no flickering
Behavior after installing Sunshine - Gsync won't disable on my monitor anymore, everything flickers endlessly even after uninstalling Sunshine and UNTIL reinstalling Nvidia drivers (failing an install but still rolling back) - no flicker

I'm sure it wasn't intentional to break my display drivers but reading the bug reports is really not inspiring any more confidence in the product. No warning about GSYNC anywhere in the documentation. Stay clear if you have a GSYNC monitor.
