It did fix it! Thank God! I was to lazy to downgrade and was just waiting for a fix

What did fix it? Did you downgrade or is there already a fix out?

With VRR on, many games started flickering. Some were unplayable, like every other frame was black.

It's fixed on the latest version. I already have it on arch

interesting. i WAS on the latest version as of yesterday and it didn't work. I had to downgrade to 535 for it to work again.

Garuda, Hyprland, VRR on

Does it work with multiple monitors? Someone in the thread mentioned it didn't

Edit: my gpu heard me and started flickering with a single monitor (but not with multiple monitors) when vrr is on. 535

I went back to x11 because I thought it was a Wayland on Nvidia issue, smdh

I'm really hoping this is the problem I've been having gaming on this driver can be unpleasant

Suppose I could always revert it but that's a pain
