Graphics Flicker / Artifacts after patch 2.3

[Kanookie]

Since updating to patch 2.3 today, I have been having graphical issues such as flickering textures and general graphic corruption. This is very prevalent in Mor Dhona and areas with lots of water. Prior to the patch I have had no issues with the game. I have re-installed the video driver, updated to a beta release, and even copied over the game files from my wife's computer who is having no issues.

My video card is an Nvidia GTX 750ti (issues) and hers is an Nvidia GTX 660ti (no issues)

Like I said, we were having no issues before the patch and we were even on last night before maintenance with no issues.

Anyone have any ideas or similar experiences?

Haven't noticed the UI itself flickering, but moving my camera to certain locations will show squares constantly flickering and the textures looking all distorted. I know my card isn't defective since it was working fine prior to the patch hope it gets resolved, hate not being able to enjoy the new content to its fullest.

Your card is defective, the faulting component is VRAM., the issue was not prevalent before because memory usage has changed slighty with the addition of new content and engine features.

So you're saying that all of our video cards suddenly & simultaneously went defective at the moment the new update was done. Yeah....

I stress tested the card after the issue popped up with Furmark with no artifacting, and temps were fine (and all other games show no problems). Most that seem to have issues have a gtx 700 series card, so I doubt that they all suddenly went defective.

Furmark is a shader tester, it will often not identify faulty VRAM unless the memory controller itself is faulty.

Took a picture of the flickers and graphic artifacts (looks like random chunks of textures that flash in and out) since the patch. It does not show up in screenshots, so sorry for the bad phone quality..... hope this gets resolved.
