Texture flickering happens like this in every single game.

[own-perspective]

I recently purchased an HP Omen 16, and after just 2.5 months, I began experiencing problems. I've noticed shimmering in almost every game I play, as well as ghosting around the screen and vehicles when frame generation is enabled.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

- Tested all upscalers (DLSS, XeSS, FSR, TAA) with the same results.  

- Reinstalled the GPU driver.  

- Performed a clean Windows installation.  

- Reinstalled all drivers from HP Support.  

- Reinstalled the games.  

- Used HP Cloud Recovery.  

- Updated the BIOS.

Hi @own-perspective,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

You’ve done an excellent job troubleshooting already: BIOS update, clean reinstall, HP Cloud Recovery, and driver reinstalls rule out most software issues. The symptoms you describe (shimmering, ghosting, artifacts when Frame Generation is enabled) point to either:

• GPU driver/feature conflict (especially with DLSS Frame Generation)
• Display panel overdrive or refresh sync issue
• Hardware-level problem with the GPU or display

Here’s how to proceed:

1. Confirm Display Settings

• Go to NVIDIA Control Panel → Manage 3D Settings.
• Disable Image Sharpening and Low Latency Mode.
• Set Vertical Sync to On or Fast.
• Ensure G-Sync is enabled only for full-screen mode.

2. Test Without Frame Generation

• If shimmering disappears when Frame Generation is off, the issue is likely tied to DLSS 3 implementation or driver bugs.
• Try DLSS Quality mode without Frame Generation and compare.

3. Update NVIDIA Drivers (Studio or Game Ready)

• Use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) in Safe Mode to completely remove old drivers.
• Install the latest Game Ready Driver from NVIDIA:
  👉 Download The Official NVIDIA Drivers | NVIDIA

4. Check Display Overdrive

• Some HP Omen panels have aggressive overdrive, causing ghosting.
• In OMEN Gaming Hub → Display Control, reduce Response Time or disable Overdrive if available.

5. Run HP Diagnostics

• Press F2 at boot → Component Tests → Display and GPU.
• If artifacts appear during tests, it’s likely hardware.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
