    So guys tell me whats wrong, cause in all games i tested no matter if i used ccc or the in game settings i get this flickering in edges near and especially far ones, i see this in Witcher 2, batman city, mirror's edge, Skyrim and etc.

    I tried the 12.4 driver and the latest 12.7 one, all the same. I even formatted my computer.

    What is going on ? It looks like it is AA problem but no matter the config i try it still there at some level it is annoying and takes the fun of playing.

    Is this an amd driver or/and 7970m specific problem or what ?

    I saw some YouTube videos users made and i noticed they have this too, why no one mentioned it before ?

    The only thing that seems to alleviate things a bit is fxaa but just a tiny bit, lines and edges still flicker when i move.

    Sounds like regular aliasing to me. Turn on or turn up the anti-aliasing.

    yes well sounds like it but still... turning it 8 x on ccc or in game or both does nothing... this is as the other link i posted above. (i also tried the different aa modes in ccc)
    Am i the only 7970m user with this ?

    I have a Clevo P170EM with 7970M, and I have never experienced this issue.
