As title says. WoW flicker realy badly again after update to 460.89. The only solution is to roll back to 457.51 becouse 460.79 also makes game flicker.

Same issue here, enabling rtx shadows improves it but only slightly, rolled back to 457.51 which resolved it, running on a 3070.
Theres a similar thread on US forums regarding 460.79 having the same issue so deffo a problem with the recent Nvidia drivers.

Try disabling DX 12 if you have it enabled, that worked for me :slight_smile:

We have seen this problem before. The easiest here-and-now solution is to change the version of DirectX that WoW is using to 11 (down from 12). It’s done by pressing ESC --> System --> Advanced —> Graphics API. Further down the road a patch from either Nvidia or Blizzard will fix the problem permanently.

I’m running in DX12 with the Cyberpunk drivers on a 2070S, Windows 10 (ver 2004) and no problems whatsoever.

i’ve had the same issues, was driving me insane, really wished i’d looked here earlier. I’d disabled all addons, put graphics to min but nothing made any difference. My fps was all over the place , bouncing from ~45 down to 5.
So following the advice I’ve done a clean reinstall of 457.51 .
So far, its running smooth again. I can go near a city again without ridiculous fps stuttering

Had the same issue with driver 460.89. The issue seems to disappear toggling off ‘vertical sync’. Been playing without any flickering for the last 30 minutes.

RTX 2070 confirm. After updating the drivers (now v461.09), some of the textures flicker.

Here’s a temporary fix if you want to be on the latest drivers.
Download Nvidiainspector and import this profile:

It’s the same profile that is in the 457 drivers but for some reason Nvidia removed it in the 460’s.
