[SOLVED] Why my games look like this?

[hellzer]

Uploaded a recording. https://files.fm/u/zdd7tzer
This is how my game looks. Very choppy, glaring textures. My other games also looked like this in the past, even with different PC parts.
Seems to be an anti-aliasing issue or something. I remember changing anti-aliasing settings in one of the games in the past, dramatically reduced these bad looking effects but Star Citizen doesn't have that setting.

I use Nvidia card. GTX 1080. Latest drivers all around the board. Control panel settings are default. Tried changing those, tried changing resolutions, tried messing with the monitor settings as well. To no avail.
Game is running at 1080p, VSync on, Very high settings, 75 fps.

Please help. Other people don't have these issues...

I noticed this in 3 games. Black Desert, War Thunder and Star Citizen. That's as far as I remember.
I had two different systems. All had different parts.

Maybe bad HDMI cable?

EDIT: Apparently this is a known, mysterious phenomenon with no known fixes:

Yep, I have broken AA in all games on several different PCs. Haven't found any fix.

did you change any monitor settings at all?

Turn of AA settings and try 2X DSR, see if that helps.

Star Citizen has been in forever Alpha status so it doesn't surprise me that there would be some graphical errors. Last time I played, about 3 months ago, it was still a bit wonky with the graphics and controls.

Nope. Didn't do anything.

I have same problem in War Thunder, but there I can set TAA or even SSAA. That does help. SC doesn't have those options.

Hmm, this might be a better question for the SC forums.

Flickering and shimmering everywhere. Completely changed all the parts of the PC, did win and drivers reinstall, but the issue persists. DSR also doesn't help to fix the issue. Also tried different monitors and TVs and even laptop with integrated GPU has this issue.

Any ideas?

That is exactly what I am having myself... And I don't know what to do. I also got a new PC but nothing changed. There are other people who are playing same games and they look a lot better.

I would try different cable connections between the GPU & monitor, if that doesn't help does anyone have a GPU you could borrow to see if it's an issue with the 1080? If it shows the same issues then maybe try a different monitor?

I tried different monitors and TVS, different cables and video cards. Like I said, even laptop with integrated gpu have these issues.
