That kind of flickering can happen due to conflicts with refresh rate too. Not sure why visual effects would be the thing that stops it though, especially as in that video, there is no major effects happening.

Hmm. i tried messing around with the frame rate settings. I've had it limited to 60 in NVIDIA control panel, and in game. Then removed the limit in the control panel / game. Doesn't seem to have any noticeable affect on the flickering.

Do you have Gsync? or similar feature enabled because variable refresh rates can cause problems if the game isn't optimised.
