Is that Z-Fighting? I have that too!

Sorry I don't know what z-Fighting is?

If that's SH5 or something similar - are you sure this isn't yet another, "dynamic shadow" problem?

I didn't know how else to explain it. What I did was Pause the game & take a bunch of screen shots of the Flickering black between the two railing on the ship & then Cropped them all at the same spot & pasted them together with PSP. I'm sorry I didn't know how to explain it with out video. If you can imagine that the black is just flickering in a rectangular area between the 2 railing then you understand what is going on.

Looks like a sign of the memory on one of your cards getting to hot or not receiving enough voltage. You mention watercooling which I use as well but does the heatsink cover the memory chips on the card? With SLI I'm guessing the cards are stacked pretty close together and simply need better air flow between them.

As a short term check, try lowering the clock on the cards memory and see if it stops.

My cards are all running between 44 & 50 degrees c. The memory is covered. I did try to disable sli & I tried the game on each port of the video cards & I did lower the memory but it still has the same problem THANKS

zbuffer problem I would say. I have that too in some ships.

When you look at ships does the flickering happen just on certain spots on the ships like doors & other objects of the ships?

SH5 leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to optimization. Hopefully patch will fix it.

Yes, I was wondering if there was a way to adjust some of the Graphic setting in to the game by modifying a file. There are some games where you can bring up a console panel in the game and modify the setting that way. But I don't think SH5 has that. I did try to modify some of the lines in GFXSettings.cfg but the game changed them back or just disabled the setting altogether.

Yeah...if you're having problems than I'm fuxored for life... ah me.

I see the OP has the same messed up shadows as myself, is this an Nvidia issue, or do they look that bad for everyone?

So I'm not the only one. I haven't seen any one Else post the question so I figured I was it. Then it probably isn't my cards, It's the game.

If that's SH5 or something similar - are you sure this isn't yet another, "dynamic shadow" problem?

It probably is but I don't think that the Dev's are going to fix it. I think they are working on trying to get the other bug out to make the game even work.

THANK YOU for all the responses I thought I was the only one with this problem but it looks like a few of you are. I really like this game otherwise & most of the graphics are fantastic. If they weren't I would still just play SH3. I runs like XP compared to Vista. I'll just live with it I guess unless they fix it or someone knows how to modify a file or mod it some how.

THANKS again I Appreciate your help
