Annoying flickering of screen

Hi, I installed bumblebee since my laptop (MSI GE70 2PE) has an integrated intel card plus an Nvidia card. Everything worked correctly during installation but the brightness of the screen flickers constantly (sometimes more than others). I read somewhere that by adding a file named /etc/X11/xorg.con.d/20-intel.conf with these contents could fix the issue

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Intel Graphics"
	Driver	"intel"
	Option	"AcccelMethod"	"sna"
	Option	"TearFree"	"true"
	Option	"DRI"	"3"
EndSection

But it didn't work. Sometimes the flicker is minimal but once I open a new window it starts to worsen again and with time it gets better.

Any ideas?
