My 1070 (FE) has been at 144Hz since day one, never had any artifacts. I'd test it on another PC and if it still does it RMA it.

Brilliant, No opening NVC every 5 minutes to switch it back
The little things that bug the **** out of you
, it's perfect now.

Make and model?
If it's MSI-take a look here:

Likewise I normally don't bother with FPS counters. But I got FRAPS back up and running. Just to give 2 examples I was running both Heaven benchmark and Far Cry 3 maxed out @ 3440 x 1440 with V-Sync enabled at a near solid 60 FPS before. Now, they both regularly go down to 30 FPS. I can't speak for Heaven since I haven't run it for ages before, but Far Cry 3 I was playing right up until the update without issue. After the update it took a nosedive in performance. My first guess is the update is having an issue with SLi, at least for GTX 980 Ti. I was running without overclocks for a while so it isn't related to that for sure. Regardless, I since re-overclocked and it still doesn't solve it.

I see you have the same graphics card setup as me so looks like we are quite possibly onto something. Fingers crossed for a swift and easy resolution.

Just curious but does the "Optimal Power" option show up in NVC for 980 Ti users ?
Soldato
Is this with the new drivers or in general?
My 1080 is going that since upgraded to the new drivers last night.
Hmm seems is a know issue with some drivers for the GTX10xx months now,

EVGA FTW 1070.
Yep it seems it is that. Had no artifacting yet at 120hz.

I have not had the flicker at 144 since I went SLI
It does for me and is default selected... not sure if I should change it...
Soldato
Tried the new drivers and back to the flickering on the desktop, no issues in game. Reverted back to previous driver and no issues. Seem's a few people are having this issue again. I remember having it on a previous driver with my FE 1080 as well so it's definitely driver related. Tried DDU both times and still has issues. Going to see if they sort it with a hotfix.
Soldato
Use the previous hotfix drivers. I installed them this morning and the 144hz flickering was gone
This happened to me too mate. I dropped it to 120hz which fixed it. But then I switched it back to 144hz and it disappeared!

I'm new to nvidia gpus and have a 1060 running great, just want to double check it's safe to remove the install files in C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver
Yup. Feel free to delete those.

was downloading the latest 372.54 drivers, but after reading this trusty thread i promptly cancelled it

I've just started with the flickering after updating my driver last night. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Rollback it is...
Edit: Flicked it (S2716DG) to 120hz and back to 144 again and it seems ok. I'll stick with it for now and see if it's gone.

Do Nvidia actually test drivers before releasing them? It certainly doesn't look like it.

Same monitor as you, tried 120hz but then after rebooting on 144hz it was back.
