Behind the character is normal, but anything in front of the character suffers from lots of lines. It's most notable when turning or when the sun "inches" up in the sky. In first-person and on really detailed objects, it can actually become difficult to look at.
I don't know what to do to try and get a better result, so hoping some folks can help me out.
The ini files may be complete garbage by now -- I had them set perfectly at one point but then let 3rd party applications alter them and have been too lazy to change them back. Nevertheless, they are included so you can see all my settings.
SOFTWARE:
Up to date Skyrim
Dawnguard
Several mods, including Realistic Lighting with Customization*
* I don't know why any mod or expansion would matter -- this problem has persisted since I bought the game.
HARDWARE:
(With Windows 7 Professional SP1)
AMD Phenom II X6 1100T
16 GB RAM
AMD Radeon HD 6970
