occasional flickering is an understatement.
390.25 caused big problems for many nvidia users.

For me it was more like constant flickering that I had to downgrade.

It is clear that Nvidia has worked hard for this update!

I'm glad they fixed it. It was quite annoying.

I use Archlinux KDE. How to solve tearing problem in KDE?----> /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf -----> add ( Option "TripleBuffer" "On" ) in file and save it.

It's unfortunate, but they didn't actually fix anything. This was more of an attempt at a fix that didn't work.

Well like always, there are bound to be lesser versions. Glad they had it worked out though.

Oh yes, that single issue was a pain for me (especially on KDE but also on GNOME), happy to hear about the update

I have a blurring issue, is it fixed? Using 390.25 on Pascal.
