The Need for Speed Unbound car simulator has only been available for two days, but it's already benefiting from it.

Here's What We Know

The new game helped to find the hidden problem of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card. It consists in flickering of image. Tech support studio Electronic Arts has already confirmed the problem, and the trouble is that to fix it is not enough just to install a new graphics card driver.

On the other hand, there is no need to take drastic measures such as manual BIOS update through NVFlash. The company has already found a solution to the problem. It consists in updating vBIOS, i.e. the BIOS of the GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card.

NVIDIA offers on its official website to download the GPU UEFI Firmware Update Tool, which automatically updates the vBIOS. The software is compatible both with GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition and partner graphics cards. You will need to update your motherboard BIOS to the latest version beforehand.
