IPS LCD monitor VRR Flicker issue on PS5

PS5's HDMI VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) support might cause flicker on the IPS monitors running at 120Hz and above, when Graphics Mode is switched to "Fidelity" mode. The flicker is caused by physical limitation of the IPS panels. Users are advised to change the Graphics Mode default setting to "Performance" mode to avoid the issue.

Affected models: AORUS FI32U, GIGABYTE M32U, GIGABYTE M28U
