Black/flickering textures on older Nvidia GPUs
Black/flickering textures on older Nvidia GPUs[citation needed] |
---|
On Windows XP, older Nvidia GPUs like the GeForce 7900 GTX would display black or flickering textures when running on the latest available drivers (307.83). Downgrading drivers to 195.62 appears to solve this. |
