Hi, first time posting on this site.

Unfortunately I've had an issue with using more than the first level of PostMSAA. If I use level 2 in my autoexec.cfg, or with the advanced graphics option tool, the outline or many objects and enviromental areas starts to shimmer a lot. To the point where it's as if the enviroment is shaking without my actually moving the camera. It's incredibly distracting. If I put it back down to 1, it's fine, but there's obviously more jaggies and I ain't a fan of them.

I've read about flickering and some shimmering on forums but have not found any info/or solutions with a single card. I have a single 5870, so I can't even assume this is a crossfire issue. I've reinstalled the game, reinstalled new drivers, put new drivers on and still nothing.

If anyone can help, it'd be much appreciated, thanks!

yea, i get major flickering with my sli. Try this out. Its gonna make your graphics look ultra like

Thanks for the reply. I just tried that config and still no luck. I've noticed that when looking at areas with light, the shimmer occurs. But if I look at a corner of a room without much lighting touching it, there's no shimmering. Maybe it's a light issue with anti aliasing as well?

Thanks.

Bump!
