I'm having the same problem with 3x Gtx970 in Sli. In far Cry 4 it was Sli related but I haven't tested that with DA:I

I don't know much about your GPU, but, assuming it's a good card? Have you download and installed the beta drivers for both this game and Far Cry 4? I know Radeon released some, I'm sure some were released for yours too.

Might need to turn some settings down, at least shadows.

Dunno if you've tried this or not but it's from the NVidia forums:

"I eliminated virtually all of the flickering by turning "Vegetation" down to high (from Ultra), and turning Ambient Occlusion to "Off"."

Another poster said to set Power managment on Maximum performance, put maximum prerendered frames from auto to 3, and turn off the Origin Overlay.

Helped some people, but not all.

It is currently a know issue with using SLI in Da:I. The tweaks suggested by element5 can help.
Both Bioware and Nvidia are aware of the issue and have said they are working on it together. So maybe when the next set of drivers roll out we'll get no flickering textures.

I have the same issue with 2 Powercolor PCS+OC R9 290's in Crossfire X so it seems like a multi-card issue for both Nvida and AMD

The Flickering issue is caused by SLI Nvidia have to fix it in an update. To stop the flickering either disable SLI or try to tweak the settings.

it seems there was a setting i did not notice above Ultra called fade touched on textures and it made the flicker go away.
