NVIDIA driver 436.51 - Fixes random flicker in Apex Legends

Thanks for sharing. :eahigh_file:

Hmm, how exactly does that flicker look like? Although I guess I'll only consider updating if I ever see something like that, since from my experience it's always best to stay on very old drivers that seem to have no problems XD.

Yeah, my policy is to never update what's working already. I'm just wondering if I am experiencing that problem or not (well I'm sure that if I am, then it's quite unnoticeable).

Reverting drivers is possible, but it's a needless waste of time: install new drivers -> test -> experience problems (which may take time to even notice) -> flush drivers clean -> install what you already had before.

P.S. I will hold on to my windows8.1 (not updated either) for as long as I possibly can... XD Everything is working fine, and when you think about it, it's a complete miracle, when Windows are involved.

I was getting some weird occasional flickering when in smoke (I was really looking hard for it since your last post), so I installed the previous latest version (that was supposed to fix it) and I got considerably MORE flickering XD (and I don't even need to look for it now - every time i'm in smoke, sometimes when outside the zone). So I'm getting sceptical about these "fixes" XD. I guess I'll still try the new fix, since the previous lastest driver is really bad, but I'll probably have to revert to my old 2018 (pre-Apex) driver, that was working best.
