I'm using the latest SL viewer. Latest NVIDIA driver. When the draw distance is set to 512 and you fly high everything in the distance tarts to flicker.

I've uninstalled and cleared cache as per the KB. Tried 2 different NVIDIA drivers and 2 different viewer versions.

If i untick basic shaders everything looks awful but the flickering stops.

I only get the flickering at long distance away.

Using NVIDIA GTX 670. Tried NVIDIA GTX 660 and same problem.

Anyoen have any ideas?

Is the flickering big squares on the ground, especially regions with water? If so, try going to your "Develop" menu and turning off "Object - Object Occlusion."

Thanks Theresa that solved it.

Have I lost anything by unticking that?

You might find things going slightly slower than the maximum frame rate because what "object-object occlusion" does is keep the viewer from trying to draw things that are hidden behind another object, but I don't think you'll notice much of a problem if your system is happy with a 512 meter draw distance, etc. I've had it turned off for weeks and haven't seen much of a problem.
