New driver update has fixed the issue!

Causes / Theories

  • Issue appears only (or mostly) with RTX 5000-series cards

  • Shader / rendering / driver interaction bug

  • Effect may trigger under certain frame rates or resolution settings

Workarounds & Fixes

These fixes are user-reported. Results vary per system.

  • Limit your in-game FPS to ~120 FPS

  • In the game settings, drop render resolution below native

  • In Nvidia app, under BO3 settings, change texture filtering to “Clamp”

  • Turn off V-Sync / G-Sync / frame interpolation / fake frame generation

  • Force the system to use iGPU (if available) for BO3

  • In BIOS, change IGPU hardware reserved RAM (e.g. set 4 GB)

  • Update GPU driver; if already new, try rolling back


Discussion Source

Recommended Order to Try Fixes

  • Cap FPS / enable frame limit

  • Lower render resolution

  • Adjust Nvidia texture filtering to “Clamp”

  • Disable sync features (V-Sync, G-Sync)

  • Force integrated GPU (if you have iGPU)

  • BIOS tweak (IGPU memory)

  • Update / rollback GPU driver

    Try each change one at a time. Test the game after each. If bug returns, revert and try next.

Tips & Caveats

  • These fixes are user experiments (no official fix confirmed yet.)

  • Some fixes may degrade image quality or performance.

  • Keep your driver version noted so you can roll back.

  • If you have a non-RTX 5000 GPU and see blur, these fixes might still help but with lower probability.

  • Back up GPU settings before changing them.

Reporting to Nvidia

Submit this bug report to Nvidia. They likely aren’t aware the issue has existed since the RTX 5000 series launch, and they can only fix it once it’s officially reported.
