Battlefield 5 - Artifacts and flashing on main screen and in game

I recently purchased BF5 and ever since launching I have been having these crazy flashing and artifacts on the landing screen and in game. It is tolerable to play and is not as crazy as some of the known bugs. My main concern is that it is my videocard, however, none of the other games I play have ANY issues. 

Some of the steps I have tried so far:

My drivers are updated

Uninstall and reinstall BF5

Messed with tons of settings (switched back to default)

Uninstall and reinstall NVIDIA Drivers

My video card is an EVGA 1080.

A link to the exact issues I am experiencing is below.

Thank you for any help,

  • A while back I was getting strange black triangle artifacting and what solved it for me was clearing the shader cache. It used to be in the documents BFV folder but it was moved recently to 'C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Battlefield V\shaders" While it may not solve your issue, it's certainly worth a shot. This folder is also not cleared if you remove/re-install BFV.

    Edit: I know you mentioned you tried many different settings, but just in case did you try to disable to terrible 'camera' effects on the first video settings page? Such as the lens flare, chromatic aberration, and vignette?

  • Same problem on xbox one, the screen starts flashing violently after about 10 minutes and then the screen goes black! It's unplayable for a few minutes. 

  • This is on the older side of time, I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.

    If you have any issues with Battlefield V, please make a new topic about your problems and what kind of steps you have tried to solve them.
