Flickering texture problem

[vernz]

Hi, I've been searching on the internet for 1 week now about this annoying problem, in every

games or so, I have flickring texture, shadow or idk at long range most of the time and it happens

a lot more in directx 9 games such as gta iv, source game but even on bf3 but less than directx

9 games, Even my friends having this issue so thats not my card for sure ( sapphire 7970 dual-x oc boost)

Maybe the drivers, i tried more than 10 different driver versions and it's still the same.

The problem looks exactly like z-fighting or I' dont know what it is but yeah, hopefuly someone

here could help me, this problem pissed me off. Thanks in advance !

change settings in games control panel until you find something that's causing the problem. ( you can start by turning stuff all the way off or on lowest settings and turning them up or on one at a time............. time consuming but you may find the problem. )

Thanks for your answer, in garry's mod by example, if i turn shaders to low, the problem is fix but im not sure for directx 10-11 games

Did this start happening after you updated drivers? This happened to me from not uninstalling the amd display driver correctly. Follow this guide to remove then install the newest driver.

I found a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt2udf7luAU

this is exactly my problem in game and im not the only one as i can see

 

[swifty_morgan]

could be a shader conflict within the mod. how is it without any mods installed?

 

[vernz]

I dont have any mods installed, i have this issue in every game but some are worst...

 

[swifty_morgan]

is your monitor set to run 32bit colors?

also, list system specs, don't forget PS/opsys.

Thanks for your answer, where I can see if im on 32 bit colors ?

you already are. didn't know what hardware you were running.

go to windows update. look for any updates, but make sure you install the netframework firmware at least. all of them. reboot. then go back and look for patches to those netframework updates.

then look for DX updates. you'll have to type that in the search box up top of the page at the update website.

 

[vernz]

I just ran a dxdiag and there is no issue with directx

and windows is up to date, no more updates available

under clock the cards cpu and ram. what happens?.......... you can do that in the CCC. ( overdrive i think it's called )

 

[vernz]

the card is on stock ... cpu isnt the problem, my friends with ati card have this issue so ... the drivers maybe or idk :/

 

[swifty_morgan]

i run some ati cards. no flickering that I can remember. i think it's control panel settings.

 

[vernz]

some games i dont see any flickering like hitman abosulution or just cause 2, but bf3 have some at long range et gta iv like the video above... its really annoying !

 

[vernz]

Should I rma'd ? I don't even know if the card is really the problem or something else..
