driver issue? shimmering textures?

[fragster]

I have the Forceware 81.98 drivers installed on my 7800GT (slightly overclocked)

When running 3DMark I noticed one the airship demo the tops of the mountains look like they're shimmering, or something is going on with the textures.

This also happens on tanks and vehicles in BF2.

Is this a driver issue? If so, what would be the best drivers to upgrade to?

Thanks for any help

would just like to add that this was happening before I started overclocking it.

Set the Image Quality Slider in the Nvidia Control Panel to High Quality.

Use nHancer or install Rivatuner and set LOD Bias to 0.375 (ish) and this will also help with shimmering.

I had the same problem but more severe with my ATI X850XT PE, the whole ground looked black because of so many flashing textures, i suspected a hardware fault so i requested an RMA, the card is currently with OCUK waiting for news on their testing results.

I may be being thick here, but I can only see a slider for System Performance (under Performance and Quality Settings), is this the one you mean?

Cheers
