Try
Settings > Graphics > Rendering Mode = Buffered Rendering

NVidia cards generally don't experience issues like this in most games. Are your drivers massively out of date, perhaps?

What sort of settings are you using, then? I don't see any flickering in Peace Walker..
4GHz AMD 3900X, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 6GB Nvidia RTX 2060, Asus Crosshair 7 Hero (Wifi), Linux

I also feels annoyed with the flickering on Armored Core, Wipeout Pulse, and The Simpsons Game :/ tested on geforce, intel HD and radeon all have the same issue.

Setting frame-skipping to 3 sometimes helped removing the flickers but it will cause the animation/movement to be laggy (5/20 FPS/VPS) Sad

Edit: It seems the main culprit is Multithreaded, disabling Multithreaded will remove the flickering issue.
Alternatively, using Non-buffered Rendering can greatly reduces the flickering (rarely flicker but may still shows black flicker once awhile)
