LOD flicker issue

[Datashocker]

First off, here is a video to demonstrate the problem. I recommend watching on Youtube with the video set to at least 480p so as to be able to actually see the problem.

I don't remember when this started, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't around when I reinstalled Oblivion after reinstalling Vista. I did format the entire drive when reinstalling vista, so no previous registry entries were left behind.

 

 

My load order is as follows:

I guess I'm just asking if anybody knows what's wrong?

 

 

 

Hoping for a simple fix,

UPDATE: I Uninstalled OB, removed all of the extra folders from the directory, deleted the files in "C:\Users\Datashocker\Documents\My Games", ran CCleaner to get rid of the registry entries, reinstalled, started a vanilla game, lo and behold the problem is STILL HERE.

It is`nt the water going in and out is it? seems a strange place to have a graphic bug otherwise and I did notice it only appears around shoreline. like the cause was some sort of realistic water effect?

[Datashocker]

Nope, like I said, i reinstalled and started up a game with no mods, the problem was still there.

[Datashocker]

Does anyone have any idea about this?

I would be tempted to think that it's something to do with your videocard. Oblivion has had past problems with Nvidia cards, or, you did some .ini tweaking, or are using some data file replacements somewhere that caused this. Edited July 21, 2010 by Vagrant0

Like i said, I did a fresh install of everything. I removed the entire oblivion folder in ...\Documents\My Games, I cleared the registry, ect.. I even unistalled my graphics drivers and installed the latest ones. No change! The odd thing is, I've had Oblivion working fine on this same hardware and OS, before I formatted my drive.

Bump...

If you formatted you hard drive , then mayby you forget to install some graphic drivers or other software that you had before you formatted the hard drive , that's why the problem is hapening now.

I formatted my drive because I had to swap out my motherboard with one that could do SLI, then I built my brothers computer using the old motherboard. I didnt feel like going through the chore of uninstalling all of my old motherboard drivers. I used the drivers that came with the new motherboard and then installed the latest Nvidia WHQL drivers (258.96). I'm pretty sure that's all I need to run Oblivion.

 

EDIT: sorry, left out a bit of info. I had oblivion running on the new motherboard, and it worked fine for a bit, but then this started to happen.
