There has been another issue for NVidia users that has had a prolonged existence with similar results. But the cause has been identified as the use of certain MSAA configurations, rather than the drivers.
There’s a separate thread on that matter, but the two issues have rapidly been confused for one another - to the point where the earlier issue is now all but impossible to discuss without someone mistaking it (accidentally or not) for the newer one.
Precisely why I stated that Cheezus shouldn’t be spreading misinformation.
I don’t know if this helps or not, but I’ve noticed that the flickering seems to be tied in some way to alt+tabbing. I’m on Windows 10 and a frequent alt+tabber (I also like to watch youtube videos via picture in picture while I level) and I’ve noticed that alt+tabbing (particularly on load screens) and using picture in picture seem to make the flickering both more common and harder to get rid of.
So I dunno, the problem might be tied in some way to the system getting confused by changing/overlapping windows in some way if anyone else has noticed this same pattern.
(I’m on a 1050 Ti)
Do we know if this has been fixed yet? I am still on 460.89, because it was the one that was working. But now, it has been giving me the same flickering issues. I see I have an update to one from February 25 for 461.72.
We know it has not. It’s still in the list of known issues if you check the Release Notes for the drivers, and there’s been no mention of it in the notes for any of the hotfixes.
I can also verify that the flag is still missing from the correct profiles in these later drivers. It has been restored to the baseline WoW profile, but as this is overridden by the Classic and Retail profiles (which don’t have the flag) it doesn’t work.
Thank you for the update.
There is an Insider 470.05 beta driver floating around, available to test on Guru 3D forum. Unfortunately WoW flicker hasn’t been addressed with it and the problem still exists. At this point I feel that we have little to look forward to from Nvidia, at least not in the near future.
This thread deals specifically with in-game textures beginning to flicker uncontrollably for no reason at all causing a strobing effect.
The flickering you are describing is a different, full-screen flicker and is typically the result of GSYNC/FreeSync being enabled at the desktop level (since it occurs primarily in non-fullscreen games); I also see it but it hasn’t been annoying enough for me to disable it.
Yes, I was talking about this issue as well.
Trust me, they’re unrelated.
I wish you were right, but I highly doubt it. Problem is happening exactly as it’s described in this thread, affected by the exact same workarounds and fixes, that started with the Cyberpunk 2077 driver update last December.
Came here looking for answers and found it. My game was running perfectly then about a week ago started having objects, trees, etc blinking like crazy if the camera angle was a certain way. Trees in Ardenweald are 100% noticeable all the time.
It causes no performance issues, but it is very frustrating to play the game when you’re trying to enjoy it for one of it’s nicer features the nice looking zones.
I really wish NVIDIA would fix this already.
No, not fixed in today’s 461.92 drivers, at least not according to the release notes.
Well, I wish I’d have read this thread before I updated my drivers tonight. Just updated to 461.92 and hopped on a flight… trees flickering everywhere.
Hopefully one day it’ll be fixed… must be a hard bug to figure out.
Today’s drive update still shows this as an open issue:
[World of Warcraft: Shadowlands]: Random flicker may occur in certain locations in the game [3206341]
So Nvidia is at least working on it and including it in their patch notes.
The previous hotfix driver 461.82 has fixed the issue for me, I don’t know if you can still download it. I had to manually download it from Nvidia’s site.
I am not going to update to the newest one as it seems to have issues still.
i wish it was the case 
For me, the flickering disappeared after I made a WoW specific Nvidia profile and disabled shader cache and then in game switched to double buffering from triple buffering. Not sure if that works for everyone, but in my case I haven’t had a flicker for a while now.
Well a new driver update hit and the graphics are still flickering.
