Shimmering/Flickering issues

[lilem.]

Hi,

I've been having problems since a couple of days in every game that I play and still haven't found a solution. Some textures are shimmering/flashing when moving, far objects are flashing and in the end disappear. Also, jagged edges are killing me. Objects like fences, when moving, are vibrating and it really ruins the immersion. No matter how old the game, the issue persist.
I can run most games at at least high, some even ultra. Tested in games like Far Cry 3, Rising Storm 2, Sniper Elite V2, Minecraft... I've been messing with the Nvidia Control Panel for days now but with no success at all. It's like anti-aliasing doesn't work at all.

I've found this video of it happening in GTA V that describes my problem perfectly:
VIDEO : Video link

Specifications:
CPU: Intel i5 6400
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1050 Ti OC Edition 4GB
RAM: Crucial 2133Mhz 2x4GB DDR4
MOBO: ASUS H110M-D
HDD: WD Blue 1TB 7200 rpm
PSU: Seasonic S12II 520W
Monitor: LG 24GM77

If anyone has any clue how to get rid of this, please do post something ANYTHING as it helps a lot.

I'm........ not... seeing any problem there at all. Like, none. Looks like a beautifully playable game.

Are you positive that your system is using the right video card if you've got an onboard system? If you're running Windows 10 if you have any other programs like rivatuner or an antivirus turn it off or change the settings to see if it isn't interfering?

Are your monitor cables secure? Drivers updated or rolled back if they're new? If you're in any beta driver programs go to the regular one?

Drop your resolution or detail levels in the games?

I play in the native 1080p resolution 144Hz. I've reinstalled the GeForce Experience and with it the GPU drivers. No antivirus but the Windows Defender. Checked the monitor cables and they're fine.

Can you not see the shimmering fences, parking lines, building in the distance and jagged edges? Far away object's textures looking bad?

Don't understand these though:
"Are you positive that your system is using the right video card if you've got an onboard system?"
" If you're in any beta driver programs go to the regular one?"

How do I check that?

Can you describe what you see? Could it be the monitor settings?

to be fair: I didn't watch the video on full screen, only in its normal loadup. just watched it again on hd/full screen and ... um, no the only thing I can say is that one 'mast' thing had texture popping in.

I turn anti aliasing OFF when I play, as a rule. The 'shimmering' is literally how I see every game. So I'm not really the best to look at that and agree with the video's assessment that 'it's ruined' lol.

Have you tried capping the fps or changing the refresh rate?

I have but it is still the same. You mean to say that those shimmering white lines and fences are normal? I've never seen it on YouTube on other people's gameplays. I have to say that I'm not that knowledgeable and don't mess around with the Nvidia Control Panel a lot.

Yeah that happens in real life too - as I was just in the back yard gardening and noticed in the corner of my eye the slats of the fence between my house and the next? that's what it does. :)

How many other games have you played that *don't* have this?

I haven't tested it on too many games but it happened on every one that I did. The textures that are far away just look bad or they shimmer or just disappear. Some textures vibrate when in motion like fences. But on youtube I haven't seen shimmering. The gameplay seems smooth. Even when not maxed out.
