I recently bought this monitor and noticed terrible flickering issues with it, at certain refresh rates. The flickering looks like the frame gets displayed in the wrong location and quickly corrects itself.
Worryingly even if I set the screen size to 4:3 in the monitor settings, the bugged frames exits the letterboxing. I don't think something that can be caused by a cable or the GPU, but I have no idea tbh.

For extra info:
I have a GTX 1060 6GB which has displayport 1.4 which means it doesn't have the data rate support 1440p 360hz. I knew that as I plan to upgrade my PC soon.
However this issue doesn't appear related to the data rate. I tried as low as 800x600 360hz YCBCR422 + CVT-RB timing which has a data rate of a measely 4GB/s yet the flickering persisted.
Through trial and error I arrived at 1440p 180hz & 1080p 300hz as resolutions free of this bug. Increasing refresh rates any higher will cause issues, no matter how much I lower data rate with colors and timings.

I just want to know one thing. Is my monitor faulty or could this be caused by the GPU/cable. Did anyone run into the same issue?
Also would this issue be covered under warranty?

I have two videos of what it looks like:
