Here is how you fix that flickering without any new drivers: Use DX11.
You are welcome.

Flickering was also happening on TBC classic. Changing shadow quality sometimes fixed it

Yeah I changed to DX11 (which fixed it) after that thread some weeks back from someone saying they were having this flickering issue in Bastion. I myself had it mostly in Ardenweald. Anyhoo I might as well install these latest drivers and see if the actual issue is fixed, otherwise back to DX11 I go.

As mentioned above, try changing to DirectX 11 in WoW's settings, that seems to fix it. Unless these new drivers fix it while using DirectX 12, which I presume they do. Originally Posted by Ssateneth

Just curious, if you didn't update how do you know the drivers haven't fixed the issue? Originally Posted by Railander

DX11 isn't a guarantee. I know because I still had it on DX11... Solved it for a while, told a guildie to do it. For him it was solved permanently, for me it was still an issue in some areas. Originally Posted by Exkrementor

That flicker issue was there for at least half a year, as can be seen in the Known Issues of driver changelogs. Well, better than never.

I tried all sorts to fix this flickering. DX 11 worked but I noticed a huge drop in frame rate on DX 11. Strangely, enabling ray traced shadows on "fair" also stopped it without the same FPS drop as DX 11. Glad nvidia finally fixed it though

It will download in the background automatically. If you already have the PTR installed then it will just move the new content over to the retail folder when it is needed. Originally Posted by thunderdragon2

That will fix it but also drop your fps, it depends on what CPU you are using Originally Posted by Exkrementor
