List out full specs and tell us your laptop model

Oh, it's contents within a game, not the entire panel

#

For context I am playing cyberpunk on a laptop with rtx 4090. I already did a clean install using ddu but still the same issue.

Show all game settings.

Laptop is lenovo legion 9i 32gb ram 16gb rtx 4090 win 11

#

im reading a few article this could be issue with windows settings?

Make a save at this location, then I want you to check again with these settings

  • non-RT low preset, but change upscaler to DLSS. Change nothing else. Observe if the flickering parts stop existing.
  • non-RT ultra preset. Same changes as above.
  • using the same preset as above, enable RT and start with just reflections and lighting at medium. Check if you get these flicker.
  • if you still don't get flicker, now enable both kinds of shadows.
#

I'm suspecting RT jank

#

speaking of rt jank, if you do see the flicker, and ray reconstruction can be toggled, check again with it set to on

#

Is the game modded, too?

Also turn off film grain and turn on color correction

And he probably meant "Color Precision"

#

If it's set to High try Medium, and vice versa

hmm

#

Is the game modded?

#

at this point, since sun shadows have minimal benefit under normal circumstances I'd probably just set it to off and live with it

It was flckering at 1600 but changing the display settings to 1440 fixed it. Im just wondering why since my laptops display is 1600

#

No its not modded

#

resolution jank probably from an aspect narrower than 16:9?

2560x1600 isn't a 16:9 ratio
