I'll probably give it a try over the weekend and see if I actually get any flickering or not since the driver supports the new MS flight sim which I expect to be picking up in the near future so i'm gonna need some sort of driver update soon.  I just hate having to run DDU because then I have to reconfigure nvidia control panel with custom settings for a half dozen games and re-associate my color profiles to my monitors.


When you go to run DDU, you can choose the option (in options menu) to "Keep Nvidia Control Panel Global & Program settings".  Then you won't need to re-do all your game profiles.

Only issue I have had is with Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, where it crashes constantly.  Upon Googling it, I found that it wasn't the drivers but Windows 11 24H2, which also creates problems with Star Wars Outlaws.  They both crash under 24H2 and Ubisoft is frantically working on fixing the issue.  Other than that...the drivers seem pretty nice

I actually tried that a couple weeks ago when I turned back on Windows Updates after pausing them when that buggy one came out a month or so ago that was giving everyone blue screens.  When I turned them back on windows decided I needed a 560.xx driver (had to learn to use GPE to disable driver updates from WU).  When I ran DDU I noticed that option for the first time and tried it but was having weird behavior and ended up running DDU again and I just unchecked the box again.  It was probably more that I forgot to run DDU as admin (for some reason if I don't it seems to miss things or somehow cause issues) but I wasn't sure and the tooltip made it sound like it might be more than just my settings that got kept so I wanted to make sure any problems were deleted.  Yes I run DDU in Safe Mode.  Don't know why it seems to work better running it as admin though.  I know back in Jan 2023 when I had a bad driver installed that was giving me random black screens in game and on desktop even after going back to a known good one, the problem didn't go away until I ran it as admin.

Installed tonight.  Zero issues including VRR flicker with or without Frame Gen on (some people reported it with only FG on).  Will monitor though. 
 
Probably just something got leftover from the newer driver after that issue I mentioned above with Windows installing a newer driver.  I leave my system on 24/7 and after I had DDU'd that Windows Update driver randomly between 1-2.5 days I would go to wake my monitors and they'd flicker but then stay dark and the system was frozen.  Once I re-DDU'd as admin that went away after reinstalling the drivers I was running a 2nd time.

Well, after all your reports, and reading some of the other ones where people just turned of G-sync and it went away I decided to update the laptop drivers. Did a clean install of the driver, then disabled V-sync, but set a FPS-cap. It's a 240Hz monitor with laptop-powered GPU, so I don't really see the need for v-sync. It sounds like it might have to do with when FPS drops below a certain threshold on high-FPS monitors and that oscillation causes a stutter or jump in backlight. Some people noticed black frames or flashes, some just said flickering (which is how I would have described it). It was also worse with "bloom" turned on, but I tend to not like the looks of bloom anyway. So turning off V-sync and tweaking a few settings with a clean driver install, I tried Helldivers 2, Ark Survival Ascended, and 7 Days to Die and didn't see any flickering. I had noticed issues in all of them previously (as well as just the Windows log-in screen before). So far so good, but we'll see. Sometimes it takes a bit to show up.
