NVIDIA has released Game Ready Driver 616.56, but users are reporting a significant display flickering bug. Discovered by user @renan_maniero, the issue specifically affects monitors running in 8-bit mode, causing consistent visual artifacts and screen instability.
NVIDIA staff confirmed the bug and are testing a fix. Affected users can resolve the flickering by switching to 10-bit color depth via the NVIDIA App or Windows Advanced Display Settings. Monitors without native 10-bit support may require lowering the refresh rate.
For hardware limited to 8-bit depth, rolling back to a previous driver version is the recommended workaround. This stability issue highlights the importance of display configuration compatibility as NVIDIA works to deploy a formal patch for the 616.56 release.
