How to fix texture flickering on Manli StarShip RTX 5090 D v2 OC?
Whenever the metal blades slashed under moonlight, I saw these bizarre white pixel flickers on the edges—it was incredibly distracting in 4K. The GDDR7 memory on my Manli StarShip GeForce RTX 5090 D v2 OC 24GB is blazing fast, but it seems there was a 12-18ns sync offset when handling specific shader instructions, causing tiny calculation errors in the rendering pipeline. My first instinct was to downclock the VRAM to 20GHz; the flickering eased up, but I lost about 10% overall performance, which felt like a pathetic compromise. I ended up using DDU to completely wipe the drivers, installed the latest Game Ready Driver 570.12, and manually purged 12.4GB of shader cache files from the system folders. Running a 3DMark stress test, VRAM usage stabilized at 14.2-16.8GB and rendering errors dropped to zero. One heads-up: the first boot after the update took a full 3 minutes while shaders recompiled. GPU core temps settled at 58-64℃, and the visual glitches are officially gone.
