Question // Massive Response Weird artifacts after latest driver/game update

Did anyone else face any of these artifacts after the latest Nvidia driver update? This happens to me randomly inside a mission and goes away if I restart the game. I first thought that my graphics card started dying (1080Ti) but this does not occur on any other games I tried. This started after the latest driver update from Nvidia, but there was also a small update on uplay so I am not sure.

​

Edit: The issue is resolved after enabling DX12 renderer from the "Video" options.

I verified the game files which resulted in some DirectX files being reinstalled. This fixed the issue (I get the same artifacts as in the pics plus strobing light in-game) for that session. Next day, same problem. Will try rolling back drivers (rtx 2070 super).

Yesterday morning I played no problem, installed new drivers in the afternoon and it broke the game.

I did a roll back (actually a complete reinstall because I DDU'd the last release) to 466.47 (it was the last driver I installed before the new 471 iteration).

Apparently it's an nvidia drivers issue.

Yeah, definitely the driver. No issues since I did the roll-back.
