Screen Flickering Nvidia Card Intel

Support Graphics & Display

Hello forum, I have installed manjaro, it is a clean installation, with proprietary Nvidia drivers, but I have random screen flickers, I tried changing the refresh rate like the wiki variable refresh rate , creating the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf file and putting this:

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
        Driver      "intel"
        Option "TearFree" "off"
        Option "EnablePageFlip"  "off"
        Option "VariableRefresh" "false"
        Option "AsyncFlipSecondaries" "false"
        #Option      "AccelMethod"  "sna" # default
        #Option      "AccelMethod"  "uxa" # fallback
      EndSection

But it doesn’t work, I’m using x11 and 144 fps

Some additional data:

What exactly do you want to do?

Your title indicates the problem is “screen flickering” with Nvidia but you tried to fix it by setting screen tearing options for Intel GPU, but you actually want VRR?

So what is it?

3

I found a post here that disabling the VRR solved the problem of screen flickering, can you suggest another way to solve it?

You did not specify what version of the video driver you are using, but as far as I understand this is the problem.

Known ways to fix it are to use a video driver up to version 530 (525) or to set the maximum performance for the video card

after 470 does not show the driver version, also in the post is the output of sudo mhwd -li, and when trying to install with sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300 i skip the installation because it is already installed (Skipping already installed config 'video-nvidia' for device: 0000:01:00.0 (0300:10de:2187) Display controller nVidia Corporation TU116 [GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER]

You could use the command inxi --display -x -G -S to get all the information you need. As I said in my previous post, so far there are only 2 ways to solve this problem, maybe one of them will work for you. You can follow the current status of the problem on the Nvidia forum, the link is in my previous post.

This is the output of inxi --display -x -G, as you can see, i have the version 530, i’ll try in the Nvidia forum, thanks for the information,
