Things will go awry when you turn vsync off and you can't do it unless you're benchmarking (in terms of being able to play the game). If so, you should never, ever do this in skyrim because the game physics engine is directly tired to vsync.
Skyrim pc game flickering water windows 7#
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit DVDĭid you turn vsync off through any of the skyrim config files? And i am getting depressed :(ĬPU: Intel Quad Core i7-920 4x2,67 Ghz (overclocked to 4.0 Ghz stable) I basically ran out of options and things to try. For instance, i tried using a negative LOD bias, as well as a positive one, i tried to clamp the negative one, tried to allow it, used all different kinds of AA in and without being in combination with AF. I also tried various settings through the NVidia Inspector tool. It does not matter whether i put my shadows on high or low resolution, it makes no difference whether i change the shadow distance or LOD fade settings, even the shadow bios scale, and it also makes no difference whatsoever if i blur the shadows out using the blur deferred shadow mask setting. My issue however seemed to be rather different, as i get the flicker at all distances from the shadow, and it seems to only happen with shadows that move (like when a tree moves in the wind and the according shadow is cast on the ground. I tried all the fixes, but the problem is they all seem to be about either blocky shadows - or shadows that flicker due to the sun movement (and the game engine updating the shadows according to that). Of course, before i launched Skyrim with the new card, i removed both my old INI files and had Skyrim's launcher detect my hardware and create new INIs.
This problem has not occurred with the GTX 480.
I spent an intense amount of time researching and tweaking but found no working solution. Well, that at least was the plan.Īfter i swapped from my former GTX 480 AMP! to the new GTX 680 i started to get those shimmering shadows in Skyrim, but only where trees and other plants cast them on the ground. Yesterday i purchased an EVGA GTX 680 to please my brutal need for a good daily dose of fluent, stutter-free, smooth Skyrim.
