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 it come back after the 535 drivers dropped for my 1660 super. Was lucky that downgrading back the previous version took it away.

    From what I read it introduced the flickering for a bunch of other cards too.

    It got fixed in the windows driver for the 1660 freakin ages ago but only recently on Linux before the reintroduced the issue recently. Changing the power mode never did anything for me.

      I had the same situation and solution with my 1660ti. I thought there was something wrong with my monitor for a bit because it didn’t show up on the second screen.
