Well, frist things frist: Thanks for the answers guys.



The issue has been solved and i'd like to comment about it:



Somehow (in my case) MSI Afterburner was causing the issue, i don't know why. By accident i closed Afterburner when i was looking at the apps running at the time, following what Frogsquadron suggested. Then i started EL once more and i realized that there was no more flickering, so i looked again at my current apps running and i realized that there was no Afterburner and the AMD Crimson Panel was dealing with all gpu performance (temp, speed, fans, etc.).



Searching on the internet i found that these kind of issues are produced by some kind of overheating on the vram (just as Avyliss said).



In conclusion; the problem was solved unistalling MSI Afterburner (and related apps such as Riva Tunner) and letting AMD Crimson panel doing all the management.





Thanks for the answers. Cheers!

I'm not seeing anything unusual in your setup.



Considering this happens in both Endless games you own I'd think this could be a hardware-related cause. I mean we could always take software out of the equation by having you do a clean boot for and try things out, I guess it's worth a shot: smiley: smile

Could you perhaps join a DXDiag just to look at the rest of your setup?

Thanks for the answers.



@Avilyss

Well, talking about overheating, i don't think it's the case; i can play Tomb Raider @ ultra settings with tressfx ON and everything goes fine.

My gpu runs at 64 ºC and the drivers are up to date.



@Groo

The drivers are up to date. Thanks for the links anyways smiley: smile



@icarus86

The CPU, well it's known that these CPUs have terrible sensors so (following what amd says) i use Thermal Margin from AMD Overdrive and it's +40 ºC so it's running at proper temp. Besides, the integrated graphics are disabled because i'm using the R9 280x.



Any idea?

Thanks.

+1 on the overheating thing.

The 7850k is running @ 3.7 GHz by default with a turbo of 4 GHz.

Does your case provide sufficient cooling ?

Does the CPU receive enough voltage (since it.s an APU, I believe it.s dynamically shared between CPU and GPU cores ...).

I got same Radeon R9 280x card and everything is fine. My OS is windows 10-64bit, not Windows 7-64bit. Perhaps it's time to upgrade ? ^^



Actual Windows 7 drivers for Radeon R9 200 series by AMD:

Perhaps it helps...

What you are describing sounds like a phenomenon known as "artifacting" and it's usually caused by your video card overheating.



Alternatively, it could be a rendering issue or shader issue. I know you have the latest drivers for your video card but it might be worthwhile to completely uninstall and delete them and reinstall them, as sometimes that will help clear these kinds of issues.



The troubleshooting process to determine if it's artifacting would be to play a high-end game with full graphics and see if you get similar issues. If you don't then it's probably not that problem.
