    Jagged edges, shimmering, flickering in most games

    Hi all,

    I know there have been numerous posts like this all over the Internet since as early as 2013, but as far as I know none of them have found a solution. So here I am. Why post here? Because it's just as likely a DirectX/Windows issue as a GPU-related one (and
    yes, I've contacted Nvidia as well).

    ISSUES

    1. Since about a month ago (May 2017), the vast majority of the games I play show jagged aliased edges on objects at medium/far distance, as well as flickering on the said objects and shimmering shadows/grass (even close-up). This is happening both in 2k
    and 4k DSR. Now, before I get the usual "this is normal, this is how AA works" treatment – no, it isn't. Simply because up until a month ago, it was fine.
    Period.

    2. The obvious way of solving this was by checking the Nvidia Control Panel settings, except nothing I've tried worked. Oddly enough, I noticed that most of the settings, most notably the DSR Smoothness, had no effect whatsoever on any of the games I've
    tested this with EXCEPT The Vanishing of Ethan Carter.

    The games I've tested (at 2k and 4k DSR): Fallout 4 (was textbook-perfect until this happened), Alien: Isolation, The Bureau: Xcom Declassified
    (never installed before), The Elder Scrolls Online, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. Of the above, only The Vanishing looks as good as the others used to – no jaggies, no shimmering, DSR Smoothness gets applied properly.

    SOLUTIONS TRIED AND FAILED

    1. Rolled back Nvidia drivers several times, currently running 378.49 from way before the issue first happened. Was using DDU for uninstalling each time. So it's unlikely the driver's fault.

    2. Checked the in-game graphics settings.

    3. Reinstalled the games which have this issue, removed all mods.

    4. Tried all possible Nvidia Control Panel settings.

    5. Physically swapped the GPUs around.

    6. Tested the games with first just one GPU, then just the other, various PCI-e slots.

    7. Reset the CMOS to defaults (running the latest BIOS). So it doesn't look like it's hardware, either.

    8. Reinstalled the monitor driver.

    9. Tried changing desktop resolution, disabled scaling in program properties, tried compatibility modes and running as admin.

    10. Installed Windows Creators Update, mucked around with its new scaling settings, rolled back.

    11. Rolled back every Windows update I could.

    12. Tried different Power plans.

    13. Checked the actual monitor’s settings (thought perhaps Sharpness was too high – nope).

    SOLUTIONS NOT TRIED YET

    1. Windows reinstall. I have lots of sound production software installed, and reinstalling it all would be a pain. I will probably try to do a clean install of Windows on a different drive later though, to see if the issues remain.

    2. Physically moving the PC, using a different wall socket, getting a UPS – this was all suggested to other users on different forums, but personally I think this is just so much nonsense: if one game works and the others don’t, this has nothing to do with
    power.

    PC STATS

    2x Gainward GTX1080 Phoenix GLH in SLI, factory-overclocked

    Intel i76850k (OC @ 4.2GHz)

    MSI X99a Krait

    16Gb Patriot Viper 4 RAM (2 sticks of 8)

    Samsung SSD 950Pro

    LG 24MB56 monitor

    Windows 10 64x

    Focusrite Scarlett 6i6

    EVGA Supernova 850 P2

    ADDITIONAL INFO

    The CPU and GPU temps are absolutely fine – CPU never goes above 55 (30 when idle),
    GPUs stay at 45-60, depending on load.

    None of the games except The Elder Scrolls Online had any updates around the time the issues appeared.

    See signature for PC specs.

    VIDEOS (watch in HD and fullscreen)

    The Bureau: Xcom Declassified (4k DSR)

    – note the left side of the door at 0:22

    – the top parts of the windows

    Fallout 4 (2k)

    – the bridge

    – the rails

    Alien: Isolation (4k DSR, almost playable, but the generally smooth picture makes the flickering stand out more when it happens)

    – the keyboard panel

    https://youtu.be/pIKsKBqDmH0 – the locker door and nameplate

    The Elder Scrolls Online (4k DSR)

    https://youtu.be/YJ8I1v2tztw – the window from 0:09

    https://youtu.be/c5M47N_sA2w – the terrible, horrible light glitch. This may be due to a recent game update though.

    The Vanishing of Ethan Carter (4k DSR – this is what all the other games used to look like before: SMOOTH)

    https://youtu.be/eo-CtM_ElwU – note the non-shimmering grass

    https://youtu.be/-_FrCTzQQ_8 – note the wires, in all other games they would be jagged and flickering as heck as soon as I moved away

    So here we are. Please help me. My rig is 6 months old, and I’ve spent a small fortune on it, so this is literally driving me nuts. And once again, to the people who only read every second sentence: this is NOT normal, because it wasn’t like this before
    – see The Vanishing of Ethan Carter videos.

    Apologies for the wall of text, but I wanted to be thorough. Thank you in advance!

    (closed) Jagged edges, flickering in most games, Smoothness not applied

    I probably should have worded it better: I am aware AA does get applied to most things, but the jaggies/shimmering on objects which are further away is an issue, and it was not present initially.

    There are more videos after the 5th by the way, check the links if you feel like it. The forum won't let me edit them to show as embeds.

    Any suggestions though?
