I get that too, I think it was with FXAA. Try MSAA or whatever the other is, also try lowering your overclock/increasing the voltage, I noticed my 290 was perfectly stable in Valley/Heaven/Furmark, but needed more voltage in Watch Dogs, I was getting flashing and flickering textures, added +6mV and it went away.

Its not part of the game, it could be an unstable overclock, overheating, the game being a buggy peice of crap or your drivers.

I had this problem. Just went down to medium settings and it was fine after that.

Turn off motion blur it did the trick for me. for some reason it was on as default.

Same here. The problem is on MSAA, change it to SMAA or FXAA. I've never overclocked my graphics card, so I don't think there is anything to do with it. So far, I didn't have any problems playing other games with this GPU. It looks like some kind of driver issue that affects only WD (it's a new engine), hopefully a future update will fix it. Sorry for the bad english.  :wacko:
