Further to my earlier repro attempts, I changed Power Mizer setting to Adaptive mode on Manjaro but did not observed flickering issue so far.
Later I also installed latest available Arch Linux with KDE Plasma Version 5.27.3 and connected 2 displays ( DELL G3223D + GBT AORUS FI27Q-P ) with both RTX 2070 and RTX 3080 respectively at 120/144 Hz but no luck in repro.
Can someone once please test with 530 branch driver and share test results.

Flickering here on high refresh screen, stops sometimes after launching a fullscreen wine application. Did not happen a week ago when I was on Manjaro 525 driver or Debian ‘testing’.

Hello Nvdia Dev,
I am facing issues since long that Nvidia Quadro K2000 is Not Compatible with windows 10 and for 11 too.
For Windows 11 :-
The issue is that when we Launch any application its shows Error that ( application has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware ) and stop working and my screen Goes Black or Fill with checkes.
For Windows 10 :-
Its Totally Hang my Pc or Same Issues like windows 11.also Driver software is removed by Windows Defender security.
Kindly Fix Drivers or Anything which works perfectly.
Screen shot Attached.
1st is With checkeses
2nd is Pc goes Hand while On start up.
Thanks in Advance.
Confirmed intermittent flickering using NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-530.41.03.run. No flickering using NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-525.89.02.run.

Could Redshift be interfering somehow?
Issue here on Fedora 37. Happens with Wayland and X, but it happens much more frequently with Wayland.
Whenever I launch Steam or Lutris, it flickers as the program starts. This is before running any games, just running the lutris/steam interface. Perhaps tied to polling some information from the card? While running a game my non primary monitor flickers very often and irregularly.
Will try newest driver and report back.
Issue appears to be resolved with the newest driver version installed. Cheers.
Distro: arch linux
Package: nvidia-dkms
Kernel: 6.2.8-zen
Card: RTX 2080 Ti
The flickering occurs whenever the power state changes. Changed PowerMizer to ‘Prefer Maximum Performance’ and it lessens the frequency of the flicker. However, it still happens and I have watched it when it goes from level 4 to 2 and the flicker occurs.
SMI:
NVIDIA-SMI 530.41.03 Driver Version: 530.41.03 CUDA Version: 12.1
Same here. Prefer Maximum Performance now goes up to 1500mhz gpu clock on RTX 2080 with newest driver version (525.105.17 ubuntu), which helps, but still causes occasional flicker. So better than than 525.89.02, but still not resolved.
It most definitely is some kind of power curve issue, since my GPU is both a custom model and on powersave/silent mode via manufactorers bios (Gainward GLH). I have another custom model which does not have this problem at all with the newest driver version (MSI TRIO).
Locking the GPU to a static1110Mhz on desktop makes the issue go away - which is exactly what v525.85.xx was doing (no issues there).
Again, only happens when two monitors are connected/on. Turning off either monitor and the issue goes away. So maybe it is indeed not NVidia’s fault, but current downclocking algorithm/curve is still a bit too optimistic to be on the safe side for everyone.
I’m facing the same problem with RTX 2060. I’ve installed the GPU to my PC and fresh installed the latest version of Manjaro KDE, and the screen is flickering like crazy. I’ve installed both open-source and proprietary drivers and it doesn’t solve the problem. I’m also using the Xiaomi Mi Curved 34-inch screen at 144Hz.
Glad to report I no longer have the flickering issue with nvidia driver 530.41.03-2 on Arch linux
The latest version is 530.41.03-1. Huh?
Check your mirrors, and the mirrors page on the Arch wiki, this is an Arch issue not a Nvidia issue.
Sorry, thought you meant nvidia-utils. nvidia 530.41.03-2 is just a rebuild for the 6.2.9 kernel.
Looks like there are few users for which issue has been solved and few users which are still facing the flickering issue.
Request to please share fresh nvidia bug repro and Xorg log in verbose/debug mode.
Still flickers (single monitor), but it doesn’t look like the new driver is available from the standard mirrors.

Flickering has stopped by changing the system as follows:
sudo su -).nvidia_drm.modeset=1 into the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT variable.update-grub).For example, after editing, the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT variable reads:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet nvidia_drm.modeset=1 ..."
Where ... represents additional existing values in the configuration file.
After rebooting, the flickering has started again. The change to /etc/default/grub persisted after rebooting, so something else must be going on.
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet nvidia_drm.modeset=1 idle=nomwait intel_idle.max_cstate=1 ..."
Any other ideas on what to set in the system that’ll eliminate the flickering?
I faced the same issue again today after updating to 535.54.03-1 with kernel 6.1.34-1-lts. Rolled back to 530.41.03-1 for now.
