Accepted solution by Elena — lol same thing happened to me if none of that helps, roll back to teh previous driver to confirm. If teh flicker disappears, report it…

    I work on a 4K screen next to a 1080p one all day, and today was unbearable. Flicker, flicker, flicker on the secondary screen.

    gpu artifacts

    The DisplayPort Firmware Update Tool update went in last night. I've tried swapping DisplayPort and HDMI and moving the monitors to different outputs. The primary screen stays perfect. Can a driver really do this to just one screen?? The flicker is subtle enough that I sometimes doubt myself, then it happens three times in a row and I want to throw the monitor across the room 👍 Any ideas on what to test first??

    ok but is G-Sync/FreeSync/Adaptive Sync enabled on either monitor?

    RAM prices doing their own thing again smh

    start with refresh rates, mixed refresh setups are sensitive to driver changes... in Settings > System > Display > Advanced display, set both screens to standard rates first (for example both at 60 Hz) and see if the flicker stops ;) then raise them one at a time.

    lol same thing happened to me if none of that helps, roll back to teh previous driver to confirm. If teh flicker disappears, report it with ur exact setup to teh NVIDIA feedback channel and stay on the older driver for now. good luck man!

    reading release notes like its a horror novel
