**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

Just read this for Rivatuner/MSI Afterburner users

in addition to installing the most recent SmoothMotion aware 7.3.7 betas I’d additionally recommend enabling “Use Microsoft Detours API hooking” option in RTSS properties for SmoothMotion in D3D11 games. It will improve compatibility with SmoohMotion’s D3D11 hooking behaviour and eliminate possible OSD flickering in such apps. Probably in future builds I’ll forcibly enable this options for processes which load SM’s hook module.

Still sticking with the 596.49 seems none of the 610 branch have fixed the performance regression from 596.49 onwards..

 
Not mine but I saw this on the hive of scum and villainy known as Reddit, The new driver is definitely nice especially if you've been holding out on the 500 series branch.

Assassins Creed Shadows benchmark, Top is new driver, Bottom is old driver.

Yeah been fine for me, gsync is off as VRR flicker is still a thing with OLED as always.
 
I have a global fps cap in Nvidia driver at 237fps (3fps below my max refresh) and form there I just use either ingame fps cap if available or RTSS.

You can also use the Nvidia driver to cap on a per game basis but that means going into the app to change it any time you want to test stuff out whereas RTSS is a keyboard shortcut and ingame is done in game.

Otherwise yes global Vsync off, Gsync off and max framerate 3fps below your monitor's max to prevent any chance of overshoot.

I genuinely don't seem to see any flicker from G-Sync on my OLED, Is it only certain types it happens with ?

Certain types of games which use certain dark shades of grey with a combination of frametime pacing. Once you notice it you will always notice it, especially if you are the type who can notice LED lightbulb flicker out of the corner of your eyeshot and stuff like that.

I notice LED bulb flicker but honestly cannot say the same for my monitor, Maybe LG did something good, Minus the forced bloatware :D
 
I think it';s more emphasised on QD-OLED tbh, WOLED seems to not be as noticeable going by what people have been saying
