..... I feel like an idiot. I tried this and it fixed everything. I can't believe I didn't even think to try this first. So yes, turned off AA and AF, everything else is checked and set to high, just had to tick of FXAA. Thanks, man. Sometimes I look too deeply without considering the simpler solutions first :facepalm: I hope your issue is also resolved with this, reapersintent. For what it's worth, here's my system info: CPU: Core i7 2600K (OC'd to 4.5) on an Asus Sabertooth P67 MoBo GPU: Single Radeon 6870 1GB RAM: 8GB Mushkin Blackline Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit So yeah.. I high-end everything on Skyrim. Thanks again! :thumbsup:
