Description

Weeks ago I noticed various games showed black frames randomly with OpenGL using the Nvidia CPU. The game (of my collection) most affected by this bug is Mario Golf (pal?).
Almost any game I tested suffer this problem (in some of them it's so uncommon that it's almost unnoticeable). Disabling the framerate limiter makes it worse. Lowering the framerate (50Hz PAL games) reduces or removes it.

TOday I tried to install an older version of the drivers and the bug dissapear.
It looks like the version 361.43 and higher causes this.

Any version of Dolphin are affected. Direct3D and OpenGL using my Intel GPU remains unaffected.

I'm sure this is a bug of NVidia and not of Dolphin, but I think the devs will want to investigate this.
