So, I got my GTX 670 a few weeks ago, was playing CS:GO fine for a while. However, I noticed in AC3, every so often, shadows or clothing would flicker. Wrote it off as engine bug. Played Metro2033, it seems pretty stable except for a few certain situations, where moving shadows in the dark would flicker (for example, shadow cast by a gas lamp). Also, I noticed moving shadows in TW2 would flicker as well.

I'm using 310.90 drivers right now. I know people have reported flickering in each of these games individually, but is there something wrong with my card, or do I just happen to play buggy games? I was running at stock settings, never took past 125mhz over boost when I did OC.

Could you get fraps videos of what you see?

Huh that's weird. I started playing BioShock recently and on my 560ti 448, sometimes I see square textures that block an object when I turn real fast. I can replicate it but it is only when I look at the right angle at the right time.

I too updated drivers recently, but not sure what version I'm on (probably updated a month ago).

I'll see if I can record it the next time I notice these bugs. They don't come often, but they're glaring when I can find them.

Are you playing Metro 2033 in DX9 or DX11? I wonder if it's similar to the flickering AMD 7000 cards get in DX9, or if happens in any DX mode.

I do believe it's DX11. It's nowhere near as bad as the DX9 bug seems to be.

Textures don't flicker in Metro or TW, only in AC3. In Metro and TW, only the shadows jump... basically the biggest thing I notice is in cutscenes, when the camera is moving. You will notice that that shadows don't move "in line" with the camera, but rather jump back and forth rather skittishly.
