Guild Wars 2

By “flicker” I don’t mean low-FPS choppiness—just a randomly occuring white flicker that happens once in a while. My FPS are great…just have this little glitch. Anyone else? Workarounds?

Same thing here with the 7970 and latest catalyst drivers.

I havent noticed this myself. But I do get unacceptable FPS in large WvWvW with my system… Going to order a GTX 670 personally as soon as my money is deposited.

Would be nice if they supported SLI and crossfire properly as it is now my second 6950 doesnt improve performance at all even with latest AMD cap.

I have a random flicker problem, but it usually seems to go away when I set the shadows to “medium” or higher. If that doesn’t fix it, I toggle v-sync. One of those fixes it for me, and then I just set things back to the way they were to improve my frame rate (generally in the 45-55 fps range). After a while, it will come back, and I’ll repeat the process.

I had this issue on Catalyst 12.8 running 2 6970’s in Crossfire. The issue stops when I turn shadows on (medium or higher).

Yep, flicker happens here too. No FPS issues though. I have i5 3570k and Radeon 7950. All settings at high and ultra, even shadows.

I’ve actually FRAPSed the flicker. I will try to upload it later today.

Please do so and link your vid from here; I’d like to see if what I’m seeing is the same “flicker” you guys are talking about.

Did you get that flicker vid uploaded?

You guys haven’t been putting old driver files in your folders to unlock the overclock limit have you?

Uninstall your old drivers, use driver sweeper (now called driver fusion) to wipe all traces of your old files, and re-install the latest ones.

From my own experience, it’s caused by using old versions of files to increase the msi afterburner cap. Either that or you’ve not formatted in a while and have just been installing drivers on top of each other.

Agreed with MDK, thats probably why I dont have this issue at all… I dont have MSI afterburners overclock limit unlocked.

I’m still waiting on this vid to be uploaded but I will say that if you unlocked MSI AB oc limits then it’s a very simple process to revert it. Remove files and/or re-install AB. That said I have not increased the oc limit of AB (no need), but also am unsure that what I’m seeing is what these other guys are referring to. Please upload vid =P
