Re: Texture Flickering - Using Single GPU - GTX 780
Hey WilyWolfe.
i saw your post over at Nvidia forums as well.
I'll post what i wrote there over here incase you miss it.
"This is definitely an issue people with 700 series GFX cards are having. My self included (780ti).
I'm not 100% sure on the cause but what definitely seems to help "Solve" the problem is rolling back your Video card drivers to an older one. Therefor, I can't help but put the blame on Nvidia and there latest drivers.
After installing the new 347.52 drivers I'm getting a lot of texture flickering. I know the problem has been happening with SLI but my setup is a single GPU.
The flickering textures is prominent with trees and rock surfaces. I also get minor texture pop in.
Regardless of setting graphics options (lowest or Ultra) The texture flickering still happens equally on all settings.
I rolled back to the previous driver 347.09 and I still have texture flickering.
However, rolling back to driver 344.11 and 344.75 seems to fix the problem ( no more texture flickering or texture pop in) but the performance also drops.
So i did some testing with the GFX settings on High (tessellation on medium) and these were the results
I chose Redridge since it's one of the most demanding areas.
- 344.11 (No texture or Pop in Issues) FPS hovers around 35-50fps in redridge
- 344.75 (No texture or Pop in Issues) FPS hovers around 35-50fps in redridge
- 347.09 (texture flickering and pop in issues) FPS hovers around 40-60fps in redridge
- 347.52 (texture flickering and pop in issues) FPS hovers around 40-60fps in redridge
So yeh, long story short, Newer drivers improve performance but cause weird texture flickering and pop-in.
Older drivers fix the texture flickering and pop-in issue but lower performance.
My PC Setup is: (nothing is OC)
Intel i7 2600
GTX 780ti
8gb ram
Game is installed on an SSD"
I hope this helps, personally I don't want to compromise performance for something as lame as texture flickering but sadly there is no other choice as it's quite distracting to have trees and rocks constantly flickering.
