Thanks for the report.

If I'm not mistaken, this problem with the RTX 2070 has not been reported here yet.
Please double-check if the drivers are up to date.
To upgrade to the latest driver, see here for more information: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/troubleshooting/gpu/index.html

Also try the latest daily build: https://builder.blender.org/download/
Try to run blender_debug-gpu.cmd that is included in the download.
Run blender for just a few seconds with the window maximized.
After Blender closes, the logs will be in a text file which can be attached here.

Thanks for the reply,

The drivers are the last avalaibles, tested Studio and Game drivers both.
I've checked the latest daily builds 2.91.0 Beta and 2.92.0 Alpha and the issue is still present. Sometimes it happens even with minimized window, but I've not understood how to reproduce.
Here the debug logs with the 2.92.0 Alpha.

Does this problem happen when you reset the factory settings (File → Defaults → Load Factory Settings)? It is possible that it is being caused by some addon.

Nicolò Rebagliati commented

Yes, also with factory settings.

Hi @Nicolo , does this happen with recent blender versions also (2.83.0 LTS, 2.92.0 , 2.93.0, 3.0.0)?

Hi @PratikPB2123 , it happens on all the official releases till 2.92, must check 2.93 and 3.0.0

@Nicolo , thanks for checking. May be I am wrong but I think this problem is specific with RTX 2070.

Do you have multi monitor setup?

I have a 2070 too but dont have this problem. Might be something else then. I also have a multi monitor setup but since i cant reproduce it, thats not really helpful. Have you checked for a windows update?

Pratik Borhade commented

I also have a multi monitor setup but since i cant reproduce it,

@DarkKnight , thanks!. Seen some NVIDIA reports related to flickering for multi monitor setup. That's why I asked.

@Nicolo To reiterate Pratik's questions above, did you check 2.93/3.1 already? And does you have a multi monitor setup?
You can try the newer version here. https://builder.blender.org/download/daily/

@OmarEmaraDev
I'll check all the versions asap porperly but I'm quite sure it happens on every release I've tried, and I use 2.83, 2.93 and 3.01 on my home PC. I didn't have a multi monitor setup at the time, so it was on a single monitor setup. Now I have a multi-monitor setup, and this is what happens: flickering on the laptop monitor, not flickering on the plugged monitor.

@Nicolo hi, probably G-sync (or V-sync) causes your screen to flicker in full screen mode?
Please check if disabling make any difference (if they are enabled).

Hi, sorry, I'll make the test this evening

Ok, G-Sync seems no to be avalaible on my PC, disabling V-Sync doesn't make any difference. I've also tested the 3.1: still present

Hi, do you experience same flickering in other 3d softwares and games?
Do you have high refresh rate laptop screen?

Now I have a multi-monitor setup, and this is what happens: flickering on the laptop monitor, not flickering on the plugged monitor.

So you've connected your laptop to external monitor, right? To which GPU your external monitor is connected (internal or dedicated)?
