NVIDIA Driver 616.56 Causes Display Flickering

NVIDIA is testing a fix for a bug in Game Ready Driver 616.56 that causes screen instability for users running monitors in 8-bit mode.

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.
