Flickering at the top of the screen
forums.developer.nvidia.com
Hello, I have short flickering at the top of the screen. I have noticed this issues starting from driver 530.41.3. It is still present in driver 535.43.02. Setting nvidia_drm.modeset=1 doesn’t work. I don’t have this issue with driver 525.116.04. I have a RTX 2060 Super. EDIT: I have found out that: The flickering isn’t just black: it is mostly black, but can vary. It seems exacerbated by power states mode: With the adaptive mode, power states fluctuate a lot and there’s more flickering. ...

I know NVIDIA on Linux is somewhat bad, but this bug has been driving me insane, and it is still not fix as of 535.104.05 my screen flicker even more than the last driver update

I hope this get fix in 540 drivers updates or later, but I’m getting an AMD GPU when I get to build my PC very soon.

    I had a card+monitor combo that would do stuff like that but only at a certain resolution. Does it happen at all resolutions?

      My monitor is only capable of 1080p, so it just always runs at 1920x1080 - I haven’t tried lowering the resolution yet to see if that has any impact, but I suspect it won’t sadly.
