Graphic/texture glitches (DX11)

I made this thread in the General Discussion and the post got moderated by a GM (I was not told who took it down via the email I got). I was told on the email that I should've posted this in the in-game bugs forum. However I wanted other users (including myself) to compile pictures of some texture and graphical glitches pertaining to DirectX 11. My original thread was not intended with "glitches" meaning anything to cheat. I meant that the glitches referred to how the options for DirectX 11 makes some graphic textures look very bad.

Here's what I'm talking about.

Say for instance, those tarps in Costa Del Sol where we start levequests. Those sky blue clothes actually have a graphical glitch that makes them look like sponges. I'm not able to take a picture right now as I'm away from my game and PC, however you can see them for yourself if you are playing on PC with DX11. I'm wanting to make a thread such as this so SE could fix and patch up areas to make this game look the best as possible.

EDIT:

I have an NVIDIA GeForce 760 Ti, 8GB of RAM, latest NVIDIA driver being 358.50, and so on. This issue is mainly present on DirectX 11 with using Maximum settings for the game. (by the way, I actually forgot how to copy/paste all of my settings like I'm supposed to in the in-game bugs forum)

EDIT 2: I found it lol

Just seen your other thread about this, is this why I see shiney/reflective rocks? And I get what you mean about looking like sponges. Im on my mobile at the moment but will post some screenshots tomorrow.

Like the cloth for the tarps in Costa Del Sol have a sponge look to them. There's this really weird 3D effect to them. Another poster (from the original thread I posted in General Discussion) showed that the sails for some of the ships use the same texture with max DX11 settings. So the sail of the ship looks like it's made out of a sponge.

There are also some DX11 graphical glitches with parallax and occlusion on rocks and whatnot littered everywhere in the game. There are also some textures to finer detail used on armor and weapons that still looks pixelated. I reviewed some 2.0 MSQ cutscenes from the GLA questline, and I noticed the detail of the sword and clothing the male character (I forget his name; I was checking earlier last week and noticed) is pixelated.

I've experienced the parallax / occlusion on rocks, but I didn't see the spongy texture in Costa you were talking about until I saw this thread. It's very subtle; I think it's intentional. It's not even really visible from a distance.
