Some may disagree, but I just have to report what I am actually finding...
I'm only getting these flickerings (artifacting?) after my vid card crosses the 77' Celcius threshhold. Not before.
That would indicate overheating.
All my in-game graphics settings are on max, at 1680 x 1050. If I set my anti-aliasing to 4x with adaptive AA, my cards temp will cross beyond 77C. Then I get the flickerings.
If I drop my AA down to 2 x with 'performance mode adaptive AA', there's less strain on the card, and it never crosses 74 to 75C. No flickering then.
Now, the same exact thing I'm seeing may not be what you guys are seeing, there may be two completely different issues here, but I'm just adding to the conversation what I know is happening on my end.
It would be good if you guys could say if you see the flickerings immediately when the game starts, or not until you are 5 to 10 minutes into it. (that would mean heat buildup in the card over time).
Also, do you see any texture flickering while inside the sub views (command room, etc) where the graphics load is low, or do you only see it on the exterior ocean views (where graphics load is high).
Thanks.
