I've been testing the Closed Beta and both Scale Tests and can confirm that having FreeSync turned ON is a eye-sore at the moment by creating a screen flickering. I wanted to share the following videos based on recently watched a 35 minute video on PC optimization for Sea of Thieves and I saw FreeSync was working for the game. (hopefully was in these tests).
Video that shows the flickering on the screen: (much worse in person)

Here's my video card and monitor I'm using:
Video card - AMD Radeon™ R9 390X GPU (8GB - GV-R939XG1 GAMING-8GD)
Monitor - BenQ XL2730Z 144Hz 1ms 27 inch
Video driver version: Been switching between 3 different ones for testing, running the latest at the moment.
Tavern Flickering (ON and OFF)
One last thing, with FreeSync either turned OFF or ON, inside the tavern, there is also this flickering that happens that is similar to the effect above. I also took a video of it and while filming, the game crashed to desktop. Take a look below:
