It took me months of googling and trying to find this:
  • Download Nvidia Inspector
  • Start nvidiaProfileInspector.exe
  • Create a new profile and name it VirtualBox
  • Add virtualbox.exe as application to the new profile
    Change: Since VirtualBox 6.0 you have to add virtualboxvm.exe
  • Scroll down the list and change the following two entries in the "Other" section:
    1. Buffer-flipping mode: 0x00000001 OGL_FORCE_BLIT_ON
    2. OpenGL default swap interval: 0xF0000000 OGL_DEFAULT_SWAP_INTERVAL_FORCE_OFF
  • Apply changes
This eliminates the flickering for me in VirtualBox fullscreen mode with 3D acceleration enabled
