Hi there,

This isn't flickering like I've seen other people post videos of but here's a couple of videos to show what I mean.

A few days ago I was running a 8800GTX and it was fine.

As the description mentions it seems to happen when I reach a point FPS goes above 60, so looking at the sky or some ground areas and during the main menu.

I'm not sure if the game has v-sync, or if I can turn it/force it off as it can be annoying when looking at planes :(

Funny, I just had this experience tonight with the exact same card - Sun would suddenly go disco! Quite annoying :/

OOOOHHH, And I was thinking that it was my video card. I have the same problem only when I am flying. It is very annoying indeed!!!!

So it's a game bug?

Have you tried disabling Catalist AI to force 1 gpu only ?

I had a 4870x2 for a while but ditched it due to similar problems

Glad it worked for you

But you do know that your only running it as a 4870 now?

It was the same for me in arma , dual gpu = crap performance
single gpu was a lot smoother
