Fixing RTX 5080 OC flickering in Enshrouded
I can't even describe the relief when the flickering finally stopped and the image became clean again. In the base-building areas of Enshrouded, the latest drivers for the Manli Snow Fox RTX 5080 OC were causing massive texture conflicts, making the ground and building edges shimmer constantly. I tried turning off all shadows in-game, but that made the graphics look like a game from ten years ago, which was unacceptable. I decided to roll back to the previous stable driver version and used DDU to completely wipe 5.2 GB of shader cache. In side-by-side tests, my FPS stayed locked at 110-120, and the flickering was totally gone. I did find that the game took longer to boot after the rollback, but enabling 'Fast Startup' fixed that. The card stays cool at 62-68℃ with fans at 1400 RPM. I switched the rendering mode from Quality to Performance in the control panel, and frame times are now a tight 5.1-6.4ms.
