Samsung Odyssey G8 OLED problem with Manjaro linux

Level1 Store KVM Helpdesk

Hi,

I have weird issue with samsung monitor.

Specs:
GPU: NVIDIA 2070
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3600
Monitor: Samsung Odyssey G8 OLED
Level1Techs KVM Switch (2 monitors, 2 PCs)

So, the screen is turning off constantly, while using the computer, with the Samsung error message: “An error occured with the device connected to DisplayPort. Select the ‘Troubleshooting’… etc”.

What’s weird, issue disappear while turning on Dota 2 game, other games do not help.

I tried to look in journal, to create nvidia-bug-report, configure nvidia-settings, x11 settings, but can’t find the source of the issue.
I exclude hardware issue, as the monitor works perfectly while playing the specific game, or using it with macbook or windows laptop (however I am not using 175 hz with laptops, so that might be something)

Do you know how to investigate my system to find some kind of error message, so I at least I know what’s wrong? Or how to fix it?

But how does it just work in specific game? I use mini displayport → displayport that came with the monitor. I guess i can try other cable, the connection between PC and KVM is cable from level1techs store, so i guess if there is a problem is between monitor and KVM
