Shadow flickering / Bad distance quality in all games!

[Kraudi2k]

Hello folks,

I really really hope here is anyone out there who can help me with my hardware problem I have in games!
I have very bad shadow flickering in every single game. Also at distance the quality is very bad which ends in very jaggy edges and flickering even with Downsampling and AA! The whole scenery is flickering like hell and it's impossible to play with these problems.

Here are my specs:
• i5-4670
• ASRock H87Pro4
• 16 GB G.Skill 1333 RAM
• GeForce 970GTX
• Thermaltake Hamburg 530W PSU

Now the thing which confused me. All worked fine two weeks ago!! It started after I have done the following:
• Replaced my old Radeon 280X with a new 970GTX (Palit JetStream)
• Added 8 GB RAM to my system (same manufacturer, model and clock speed ...)

So I thought it would be a problem with the new GeForce card. So I tried it again with my old 280X and now the problem is still there! So the GeForce should be fine as I also tried to use my onboard graphic card which have had the same graphic problems.


Other things I tried:
•Reinstalled Windows 8.1 (Also tried with 7) -> Problem remains!
•Tested with every single RAM only -> Problem remains
• Tried with an other Power supply unit -> Problem remains
• Tried it with every hard disk only -> Problem remains

Now I'm done as I have really no idea what the problem is.

Any thoughts on that?

Regards

Try a new monitor or reset your monitors settings, perhaps some setting got turned on or off...

Thanks. I tried it already connecting with HDMI to the TV instead of my monitor but still the same.

I also tested with an other mainboard + cpu from a friend. It's the same on all different configurations.

I see a Bios File on their site, perhaps its newer than the one in yours.

Did you manage to fix it? I am having a similiar issue... Very low render distance in ALL games.

I've been reading a lot about it and still have no idea what to do. I also noticed that it happens mostly with intel and nvidia setup, but it might only be a coincidence.

I think the problem is on the motherboard, I have this horrible flickering at distance, shadow and texture since I get a new motherboard.
