Alright, here it goes. I have been pulling my hair out over this issue, so any help here would be MUCH appreciated.
The issue is: in all my games; minecraft, skyrim, L4D, Dishonored, NBA 2k, (even youtube videos of gameplay) the edges of textures (in the distance) flicker and sort of crawl as the camera moves. It happens more to thin textures like ropes, rails, fences, etc... especially if theres a light source. It is really distracting and was NEVER there before. Again, my computer was looking great and out of no where this issue arose.
I have tried the following:
1. I tested 4 different graphics cards both amd and nvidia all with the same issue.
2. No amount of AA or AF or TRAA helps. It does its job because up close textures look amazing but distant textures still shimmer badly.
3. I tried re-positioning the graphics card 4 or 5 times. And tried putting it in different slots.
4. I tried the latest version of the nvidia driver, using driver sweeper and have the same issue. I have also tried older versions of the driver as well.
5. I checked all my hardware, there's enough power getting to everything, my cpu is running cool and smooth, even my games run amazingly well except for this issue.
6. I have tried 3 different monitors and different dvi/avg cables. Still persists.
7. I have updated the BIOS to its latest version. No help.
8. I have messed around with every setting in the nvidia control panel. Especially things like negative LoD bias and what not. Still no help.
Nothing is OC at the moment.
I have honestly tried everything i can think of [strike]except re installing windows[/strike] and/or trying to figure out what piece of hardware might be causing this. If anyone can help me out it would be much much appreciated. Thanks.
UPDATE: Here is a video I made of what this problem looks like in skyrim. Its much worse in-game (watch in 720p): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlg4C0_3fUM
Edit: I re-installed windows and the problem is still there, so theres that crossed of the list.
Specs: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
GTX 670 (Nvidia) x1
i5 2500-k Sandy Bridge @3.3 ghz
Acer 1600 x 900 lcd screen
8k MB of RAM
