Screen Flickering Issue on Dedicated GPU

My laptop screen will randomly flicker when the dedicated GPU is used. Does anyone know what could be the issue?

Here’s an exact same issue that’s happening that I’ve taken from YouTube.

Not very sure, but if i recall correctly, these models are plagued with GPU issues. A ‘fix’ would be to disable the discrete gpu and only use the intel internal graphics. (You will lose performance, but flickering should be gone

)

Thanks for the comment! I currently use gSwitch to run integrated at all time and it seems to have fixed the issue. But sometimes I use dedicated and the flickering is annoying.
