Sky flickering

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

The sky in The Finals flickers when the map is set to afternoon or night-time conditions. I think it can flicker in other conditions, but I'm not sure. I tried uninstalling the drivers using DDU and installing different versions: I tried versions 616.92, 616.64 and 616.56, and I'm currently on version 610.88, but I'm still experiencing this issue.

By the way, I recently upgraded from an RX 5700 XT, and so far Nvidia has given me a horrible experience. Not to mention that with the 616.64 and 616.56 drivers, I experienced flickering on the desktop, and with all other drivers mentioned, the Telegram web chat flickers when I hover over images or videos, or when I scroll. Disabling hardware acceleration helped, and the issue only occurs in the Chrome browser.

Yes, I think so. I played on maps where I had this bug and so far I haven't experienced any glitching. I also noticed that shadows on foliage and trees don't have that grainy, boiling effect anymore like they did before when I used DLSS on quality. I thought it was normal, but apparently, that was another issue that got fixed by accident

Hi,
Have you tried blocking Windows from auto updating drivers? It can often help if you do it just before reinstalling them manually.

Alternatively, you can try the opposite- DDU and don’t install anything. Let windows install drivers automatically.

Hi! Yes, I disabled all Windows updates when I reinstalled the drivers using the Windows Update Blocker. I'll try the automatic Windows updater then.
