Ok, so my description might be a bit odd, but what is currently happening is this:
Imagine you're playing an RPG (say Skyrim). In the graphic settings, you set the object draw distance. Depending on this setting, when you're close enough, the distant objects start appearing (and disappear when you go far).
Now imagine the above phenomenom happening rapidly, i.e. decals turning on and off representing a flicker. This is what is currently happening when I am playing games.
My graphic card is an HIS ATI Radeon HD 6870 connected to the monitor via the DVI port. The games I am currently playing are Far Cry 4, Skyrim, CnC3.
What could possibly the cause for this behavior?
At first, I thought something was wrong with my old CRT monitor, since it was aging anyway. However, even after using my brand new monitor (21.5" LED backlit LCD), I still see the problem.
I have updated the Catalyst driver to the latest version - 14.12. Also, I have noticed that the GPU temperature is 65 deg on idle and shoots to 85 when I try playing on 1980x1080 resolution.
Is this due to overheating?
