Skyrim Shadow Flicker Issue

I am having this exact issue shown in this video (credit to whomever made it). I'm running an Nvidia gtx 560 with the latest drivers installed.

 

 

I have seen some videos on adjusting some settings in the skyrimprefs.ini file, but they really dropped framerate. If you've fixed this, what settings did you use to maintain framerate?

Its usually caused by Skyrim's wierd sun update settings. I've heard this tweak makes it much less noticeable:

 

>open skyrim.ini

>add the following lines under [Display]

fSunShadowUpdateTime=.25

fSunUpdateThreshold=1.5

>save skyrim.ini

 

I think it also increases your performance slightly. Otherwise, try setting iBlurDeferredShadowMask=7 (any number from 5-7) in SkyrimPrefs.ini. This should make the shadows blurrier, and therefore less jagged, with little impact on performance.
