Well, no green lines with 3DMark 11 with the most extreme settings in 5760x1080, so I guess my card is fine. But, I'm still having bad shadow flickering in Skyrim and parts of Borderlands 2. I know Skyrim is supposed to have bad shadows, but I don't remember them being that bad before. Other games, like Tomb Raider, have no flicker. So I guess I'm in the clear?

Using any mods?

My brother has a 690 and plays Skyrim almost exclusively at the moment. He hasn't mention having any issues.

I fukked around with the .ini and I'm using the Falskaar mod, but no lighting mods or anything like that. Things were relatively fine before, but I uninstalled it a while ago and just recently reinstalled it for Falskaar. The reinstall, or perhaps the mod, may be causing the problem. Or it could be my graphics card. I'm confused I don't wanna have to replace the 690 again, but I might need to. If I see it in anything other than Skyrim or Borderlands 2, I'm RMAing that shyt I guess

When you uninstalled Skyrim did you make sure to delete any ini files in the my games folder? If I were you I'd do a clean re-install including deleting this folder (make sure to backup your gamesaves) and try the games with no mods first.

well, i think my problem may have been a faulty ram stick.

i just played Bioshock Infinite 1989 mode for almost 2 hours with no crash...

Yeah, I don't think I deleted those ini files. I'll do a clean re-install. Thanks for the help

the AI is waaaaayyyy more aggressive.

i just got the Crow vigor and the dude with the casket on his back you need to fight to get it only takes human form when he is in your face.
the rest of the time he is a flock of crows and gives you no opportunity to hit him from a distance.

everything i see, hear and experience has allot more meaning since i know how the story ends and i'm enjoying it quite a bit on the second play through.

Finally fired up that 3870K APU and it seems legit

For under $200 on this complete build I can't complain
