I'll cut to the chase.
I started playing Civ5 again a few days ago and noticed that in the loading screen and sometimes in the main menu the entire screen would stutter/flicker wildly up and down until I alt-tabbed out which would fix it. I didn't think much of it, other than it must be a Civ bug.
Started playing Arma 3 yesterday and the same again, but much worse. It happens in the loading screens intermittently and in the maps almost constantly (is still for a moment when I first open map and then starts and doesn't stop until I close map which temporarily fixes it).
I want to emphasize this is not a frame issue, it is not frame-stuttering I am referring to, the screen moves up and down very quickly. To show you what I mean I tried to record using DXtory, but the recording came out perfectly still even though I am 100% certain whilst I was recording it the map was doing the stutter. So I recorded it with my phone and uploaded it to youtube here:

You still can't see the full effect, I suppose because of the framerate of the camera on my phone, but you can probably get the idea.
Things I have done already:
Switched my secondary monitor with primary to see if it was a monitor issue.
Upgraded to newest AMD beta drivers (14.4)
Looked all over the Arma 3 bug report forums, haven't found any mention of such a bug so it can't be Arma 3 specific.
My specs:
I'd greatly appreciate any help on this matter, thanks.
