What graphics card? What system? Notebook with nvidia Optimus?

Intel cards are known to behave very badly with PS...so if you only have flickering with one of those you can call yourself lucky.

In case of linux...try disabling desktop effects.

ehem he allready said the graphics card "gtx 480".
update the drivers, if you use windows DON'T use the drivers that comes off windows update but use the nvidia ones.

Windows 7 64 bit
Desktop I built myself (not a notebook)
GTX 480
Latest Nvivda drivers

No issues running ANY games except this one.

Graphics are flickering when I get into the game.

There are so many possible kinds of "flickering"... hard to imagine what's your specific kind. Maybe tearing (no V-Sync while moving)...

also the other games in which set they are. directx is another thing. For example amnesia or penumbra are good comparisons skyrim is not.

we all have our own issues, thank you very much.  :P

 :P <- I find that if I don't end each and every one of my posts with this, I am universally hated.

Well, what exactly is "this issue"?
Are the textures flickering? The model or map vertices? The light? Is the screen going black and then turns on again? Or do you mean choppy motions because of a too low framerate?
The forum search function returns several different issues that could be described as
flickering. If you provide some more info, I could google it better for you.  ;)
