Long time Odyssey Ark owner and huge fan. Recently upgraded from my 4090 and I have been having a miserable time with black screens at boot, 1-3 second drop outs in games, and even hard monitor crashes that require power cycling the Ark. I have done all the responsible things like using DDU to clean install drivers, replacing HDMI and One Connect cables, and reseating my GPU. I was convinced this was simply a driver DSC issue, but today I was able to test on another 4k high refresh monitor and none of these issues carry over.
I am running at 4k165hz with G Sync and without HDR. I have tested this on my Asus TUF 5090 and an Asus TUF 5070 with no difference in results. I would have reverted to my 4090, but unfortunately I already sold it to a friend. It looks like we either need a firmware update for the Ark or specific driver fixes from Nvidia to get past this.
I finally got a stand for my phone so I can record what is actually being experienced on the monitor with a RTX 5000 series GPU. First black screen @ 1:15 Second at 1:53 Third at 2:38
The resolution is not changing. I have had this monitor for going on three years and never experienced random dropouts like this before with previous GPUs
