They keep doing this flickering and I am not entirely sure if that’s on my end or not.

Which Nvidia card do you have? What are your game settings? Have you updated your Nvidia drivers?
It’s a GTX 1050TI, Graphics Quality on 10 and the issue started showing up after the Cyberpunk 2077 Nvidia update.

Correct.
There’s a somewhat lengthy thread about it over on Technical Support. The short of it is that the only sure-fire fix is to roll back to the drivers preceding the Cyberpunk 2077 release - specifically version 457.51 or earlier. Theoretically Cyberpunk should still be playable on these earlier drivers but it might not necessarily be optimal, should that be a concern.
There’s some options which have fixed it for some people but results are mixed. These include using DX11 (perhaps even Legacy), changing shadow settings (“Low” seeming the most likely to work), and toggling Triple Buffering. Some say this works, some say it only lasts a little bit before coming back.

Lol testament in how much I’ve been playing this game; haven’t even logged in since CP2077 launched.
Turning shadows to low fixed it.
Not worth rolling back drivers for one game.
now that you finished CP2077, are you willing to replay it again? Or do you want to wait for patches and DLC?
Eh waiting for patches and DLC, like, I loved the story and even side quests, but now that I am done with that I can’t fathom replaying the game, it feels really unoptimized, I mean, I use more GPU and CPU on WoW than I did on CP, the game ran really poorly.
Doing second playthrough as a male Corpo V 
Going for different build, different ending, different romance.
I am now at 92 hours played.
@Enthorian; at 1440p ultra/rtx, i usually get around 95-98% GPU and 65-90% CPU.
Game seems to just run poorly sometimes and a restart fixes it (see Gamers Nexus on run-run results). I’ve had to restart the game once or twice because of this, but otherwise long all-day sessions are pretty normal.
Weird, most of my time playing my GPU would at max go up to 3% usage, not to mention the really weird thing that for a game that has Nvidia support, I had to manually change it from using my integrated graphics card to my GPU.
What’s your system specs?
Intel® Core™ i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz, 2801 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s).
16GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050TI - 4GB
Yes, it’s a laptop, though it was well above their minimal specs yet I had to play the game in 1366x768, minimal graphics to get around 25FPS sometimes dropping to 15FPS, I mean, it was worth it, just wish it didn’t ran that poorly, Star Citizen ran better, and that’s something.
You should be maxing the heck out of both of those parts.
3% usage seems really strange on both parts. If you’re alt-tabbing while you are reading the usage, it may be just reading it in the minimized state. If you’re getting 15-25fps in the game with that graphics card, i doubt it’s not being utilized
Oh no, I had it open on my second monitor while playing the game, I assumed it could be the case as you said, so I did that to test it out.
My friend with a RTX 3080 told me his usage was really low as well and he would often get some really annoying FPS drops, he eventually dropped the game midway through.
That sucks.
My usage is as above with a 3080/8700k, and my wife’s system is also maxed out GPU with a 5700XT on a locked 8700.
I was planning on playing CP on a Hopper. Rumor mill right now is Nvidia’s interconnects failed so Hopper is delayed 
. We should get a 5nm card before Hopper though. Hopefully, it’s just not an 5nm die shrink of gaming Ampere.
This will be funny if Intel comes out swinging as the GPU champ for CP next year.
