Weird graphical anomalies | nVidia 980 Ti

Rohaus · June 2017

So, I was just chillin and thought I would take my Warden out to Craglorn and grind on some mobs. I went to Spellscar to just kill a bunch of the adds there... in the far back furthest way from the wayshrine, I started seeing these white walls... flickering textures etc. The next zone over, electricity is flying all over the place...

I thought... geesh... maybe my videocard is running hot... checked the temps... all good...

Clean uninstalled my nVidia driver package... reinstalled... still the same graphical issues.

Then, I reset my bios of my mobo... even upgraded it to the latest... still the same graphics issues.

Here's the thing... it is ONLY at Spellscar where I see these graphical weirdness... the white walls are killer... can't even player there when that happens.

So then I asked a buddy of mine to come and take a look... he runs a 1080 Ti... he too was seeing the same graphical issues on his computer.

Man... i was so close to RMA'ing my videocard... thank goodness I didn't.

Two computers... nVidia videocards... and odd graphical issues on both systems.

Also, I went to several locations across Tamriel and no issues at all... it is ONLY at Spellscar.

I am curious if any other nVidia users are seeing these same graphical issues at Spellscar???

@bennysbeastb16_ESO2

I have thought about rolling back to a previous driver... just to see if that resolves it..

I see you are running a 980 Ti... could you tell me the version you are running? So I can test and verify?

Thank you,

Sounds like a driver issue to me, as you mention try an older version of the drivers.

It occurs with the current driver 382.53 from nvidia as well as the one prior.

@Rohaus
didnt see your post till @ work this morning.. wont be able to check till i get home.. but its at least 4-6months as i was going to play Conan so it was around that time. (checked nvidia driver site) and the conan driver was:-
http://uk.download.nvidia.com/Windows/378.49/378.49-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql.exe
windows 10 x64 980ti driver

Always run on the idea, if something works why change it ;D , gfx drivers are the same in my opion, if your going to play a new AAA title, and you decide to try game ready driver, then fine update, but a game thats over 3 years old otherwise.. dont see point..

ill double check when i get home tonight, but at least its something to work from.
*EDIT* home from work and im on older driver than the one i posted ... 376.53
good luck
