Texture flickering in game

[Vasoka]

Hello, I am having a problem in Elder Scrolls online which is puzzling to say the least. When I turn on vertical sync, during running through the zones I get random texture flickers of different objects, mainly trees, rocks and mountains in the distance. However, when I disable vertical sync off and let the fps go above 60, the problem disappears - yet that makes the game slightly laggy and there are tears every now and then. I tried enabling vertical sync from the nvidia control panel only, yet the issue persists.

Would really love some feedback to this.

This seems to occur only in this game, and i have tested the gpu with Furmark and 3Dmark several times - no crashes/artifacts. I am at a loss here, friends who also play this game don't seem to have this weird vertical sync problem.
