Help Please, Water Graphics Glitch

[ahnuuuucheekibreeki]

So recently I notice the water reflections have been having a strange shimmer. I don't think this was there before, but I can't be sure since it only happens when viewing distant water from a high area and that's the first time I noticed it.

Here is a video: (Watch the water)

The reflections are messed up and the trees seem to be casting some kind of strange reverse reflection onto the water in the distance. The water quality also looks worse than before.

Is this normal or is my GPU about to die? I don't think I've seen this in any of my other games but my other games aren't as graphics intensive.

Here are my specs:

Lenovo Legion Y520:
GeForce GTX1050 4G VRAM
1TB HDD
i5 7300-HQ
8G RAM

NVIDIA Control Panel Settings:
Ambient Occlusion: Off
Anisotropic Filtering: Application-Controlled
AA-FXAA: Off
AA-Mode: Application Controlled
AA-Transparency: Application Controlled
Max Prerendered frames: 1
Multi-Frame sampled AA (MFAA): Off
Power Management: Max Performance
Shader Cache: On
Texture Filtering: Anisotropic sample optimization: Off
Texture filtering - Negative LOD bias: Allow
Texture filtering quality: Quality
Texture filtering - Trilinear optimization: On
Triple buffering: Off
vsync: Off


All settings are Ultra, but HD textures are off. I did try turning them on once and turned them off again, so maybe some textures didn't load properly this time around?

Haven't had any driver updates since January but only installed the game recently.

I should add that none of these issues are visible in the benchmark test.

Does anyone know what might be going on here? :(

Thanks

I had to roll my drivers back to an older version: 398.82 to be exact. Cleared everything right up.

Maybe kick your water quality down a notch ? I don't run it in Ultra, so a graphics adjustment is just an educated guess.

I run water at Ultra, and it looks just fine. Gotta use old drivers with this game, or trees, water, anything with any kind of motion & detail just looks terrible. Older drivers fixed it for me. I just hope I remember to update them for the next game I play.

Your video is dead on my end.

I also run ultra water looks good to me.

Regardless a laptop gtx1050 at ultra might be advantageous.
