NFS Most Wanted 2005 graphics issue: display is flickering randomly

Question

I've installed NFS MW 2005, but unfortunately it's impossible to play because of weirdly flickering screen with randomly and quickly appearing and disappearing horizontal stripes.
It's difficult to capture this screen state as taken screenshots don't showcase this issue, but here is a photo of it:

Any idea what might be the issue?

I've tried updating NVidia GPU Drivers, but to no avail.

Config: 
Laptop: MSI GE62 2QE Apache; 
CPU: i7-4720hq; 
GPU: GTX965M, 2GB; 
RAM: 16 GB; 
OS: Windows 10 64-bit, v. 1803; 
NVidia driver version: 430.86 
Directx: 12

Seems that running the game with the discrete graphics card only instead of system default mode which uses both Intel HD 4600 and Nvidia GTX965M did the trick.

Set Vsync on, get to the settings screen, push 2 for advanced settings then push vsync on.
