Hello all.
For the past several months I've been getting annoying texture flickering in many of my PC games. The flickering mostly occurs on certain spots of walls and terrain, and it is more noticeable when I move the camera in games. I have an MSI R9 390 and I noticed that the flickering started happening shortly after AMD launched their crimson drivers, I never noticed it on their catalyst drivers. The flickering occurs in many of the games I've been playing including Deus Ex: HR, Doom 3 BFG, Dragon Age Origins, and Quake 4. I haven't noticed the flickering in more demanding games like Doom (2016) or Dragon Age Inquisition as of yet. I've tried completely uninstalling the video card drivers with DDU, running games in compatibility mode/admin, verifying game cache, refresh steam files, defrag/optimize my SSD and HDD, fiddling with settings in AMD's drivers but to no avail. I should mention that I did overclock my i7 3770k to 4.5 GHz, but I believe the flickering started occurring before the overclock and I did stress test my CPU with OCCT, RealBench, and Metro 2033/Last Light benchmarks for many hours and did not get any crash whatsoever.
If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it, because this has been bothering me for the past several months. I will be getting a new Nvidia GPU soon (gtx 1080 or 1070), and I really hope that I don't experience these issues on Nvidia's part as well.
