Other Info:

This is a fresh install, I installed it today. I am on the latest Catalyst drivers and on the latest non beta update of Skyrim, I have none of the DLCs. The game runs fine but it has these strange bug that makes it unplayable. The textures displayed perfectly on my old nVidia 8200 integrated chip so I'm assuming my new card has something to do with it.

This is the only game I have a problem with, all the other games run fine.
 
Are you using the high res texture pack? (I doubt it but the only reason I ask is because theres a bug fixed version of that)

Regardless, try installing this one (even if it doesn't work it should still be installed as it fixes numerous bugs with skyrim) http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/19

Then IF you are using the hd texture pack dlc try this one: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/31255

I would try reinstalling drivers again to see if that fixes it.

I've had this occur too on my 7970 from time to time and all I have to do is run a little way one direction or another and the textures reload/refresh.

It happens so rarely for me but I see something similar, the ground looks just like this.
