How do I fix the massive flicker I'm seeing in game?

If I walk up close to a door, then walk backwards facing the door, or looking up/down a steep mountainside causes horrible flickering.

This is on an Nvidia GTX580 under windows 7. System is an i7 2600, w/ 16GB Ram.

All the latest drivers.

A lot of people are sharing the same problem. Are you having Shadow flickering or Texture flickering? As for shadow flickering there is no current fix. Texture Flickering is very odd. On my 1st PC just doing a clean install of my video drivers fixed it (GTX580). That means, uninstalling the video card, then downloading lastest drivers. On my other PC, which has a 250 just disabling AA fixed it, here I still get some flickering, but it has been reduced greatly. Give this 2 a try. This website has a nice list of bugs and fixes http://www.gamingreality.com/2011/11/skyrim-fixes-for-bugs-crashes-sound.html

I tried playing Skyrim today after patch, and it's still flickering. I have 2x5800 Mobilty Radeon cards and found that I play in windowed mode problem is eliminated. Turning off Crossfire also worked for me but performance hit was too great for me to enjoy the game

I also did this fix I found on a site which seemed to help the initial dragon screen when starting a new game and may well be part of the solution. Paste this on last line under display heading in your Skyrim preferences file, the one in the game folder and not the one in My Documents one:

iPresentInterval=0
