    im literally losing my mind here my setup is two monitors at different refresh rates, and its been rock solid. since installing NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Driver 537.58, one of the screens randomly blinks black for a split second... sometimes its every few minutes, sometimes every few seconds.

    gpu artifacts

    its worst when a video is playing on one screen and Im working on teh other, different cable, same result, its honestly giving me a headache... is this a known thing with multi-monitor setups after driver updates? pls help 🙏

    reading release notes like its a horror novel

    hmmm do windows move to the main screen when it flickers (a real disconnect), or just blink? ??

    yeah so sometimes windows jump over, sometimes its just a blink. Its two monitors at different refresh rates, in case that matters. sorry for the wall of text lol

    been there man if none of that helps, roll back to the previous driver to confirm... if the flicker disappears, report it with ur exact setup to the NVIDIA feedback channel and stay on the older driver for now.

    been there man if you're on a USB-C dock, update the dock firmware and the NVIDIA drievr both from their support pages, docks rely on DisplayPort alt mode and are very sensitive to driver changes. hope that helps :)
