Anyone with Geeforce game ready driver version 566.36 and have flickering? Just noticed it a short while. Let's hope a reinstallation of the driver helps.

Depending on what games you play you may want to install the 566.45 hotfix driver.

I use v566.36 with my EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 8GB CX3 gfx card.
and have not seen any active flickering..
but I play only World of Warcraft these days pretty much..

Which game or out of game are you seeing flickering?

It was a little bit at the windows login window. Not in any game so far. Havn't seen it before, so I was wondering the driver caused it. I rebooted the PC and then I saw a Nvidia error message but it hasn't appeared since then. I have a MSI GeForce RTX 4060 Ti VENTUS 3X 16GB.

This week they'll release a new driver - so i'd wait.

install/update to Nvidia display drivers (v572.16)
went fine so far.

CarlSD · Thursday at 5:27 PM

Updated to 572.16 and the first thing I've noticed is the NVIDIA notification tray icon keeps 're enabling' itself after a reboot (I've always disbled it after updating the driver - I don't like 'clutter' in the notification area).

I've disabled it several times in the NVIDIA Control Panel but it comes right back again after a reboot.

I don't know if this is a bug or a new feature but things like this are annoying (to me, at least).

(Not sure what's going on with the attached image - just click on it to see the whole image).

Not having this issue but I clean installed new drivers after using DDU in safe mode to remove old drivers.

CarlSD · Thursday at 6:56 PM

Thanks KevTech.

I've updated the driver on 2 desktop PC's so far and I have the same issue with both.

I always select the 'NVIDIA Graphics Driver' option (not 'NVIDIA Graphics Driver and NVIDIA App') then 'Custom' (Advanced) then I untick everything except 'Graphics Driver' and tick 'Perform a clean installation'.

Funny thing is - I use a Standard User Account in Windows 11 for everyday work and the tray icon doesn't appear in the Standard Account after I've disabled it in the Administrator Account but as soon as I sign back into the Administrator Account or reboot the PC the icon is back.

I'll try DDU later (have to go out for a few hours) after I restore a Macrium Image which I made before I updated the driver.

CarlSD · Friday at 4:20 AM

Used DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) in Safe Mode to remove the old driver then installed the new one (572.16) and it still does the same thing.

Oh, well... I'll just have to live with it. Not really a big issue seeing as I use the Standard User Account in Windows 11 99 percent of the time and the icon doesn't show up there.

After cleaning with DDU - i'd also recommend a Clean install (clean as in - de-bloating the Nvidia installer - removing telemetry and other features you don't need/want) with: NVCleanstall v1.18.0 Download Select recommended - if you don't know what to pick and you'll have just the basics like so:

Here's a step by step video which explains the functions (4 months old so he's using an older version - which is missing new features - like the NVIDIA App as can be seen in latest version - but still good enough to cover all its functions)

Thanks neves.

However, after reading about all of the problems people are having with this latest driver on the NVIDIA Forum...

GeForce GRD 572.16 Feedback Thread (Released 1/30/25) (scroll down)

... I think I'll stick with the previous 566.36 driver for now (I've restored a Macrium Image which I made before updating - which I always do, just to be on the safe side).

user1010 · Saturday at 6:23 AM

572.16 installed.

Catnip · Saturday at 3:07 PM

I haven't had any problems with the new drivers as of yet. I am going to run a benchmark though and see if the frame rates have dropped.

Catnip · Saturday at 4:47 PM

Uggggh. I ran a bench mark and on Unigine Heaven I got a score of 5235 with the new driver.

I reverted to driver version 566.14 and got this:

Not my best score, but much better than with the other driver. I will note that I didn't use any special settings for either test. I just set the Nvidia control panel to use best performance. I can get better with tweaking, but I think I proved my point. The newest driver is not as good.

Users of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090 & 5090D GPUs face many issues, with some cards even getting bricked with the latest drivers.

Lots of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 & 5090D GPUs Are Getting Bricked, Possibly Due To Driver, BIOS or PCIe Issues
