Phantom Textures when shooting silenced weapons and with smoke effects

[jes13524 10]

I first noticed it happening on the challenge red 2 course. When firing the silenced pistol the game renders phantom shadows or images of the surrounding terrain. Was on dev branch, changed to vanilla branch with no mods, verified game install and still was a problem. Also uninstalled and reinstalled (which fixed some other non pressing issues) but that did nothing as well. I also noticed this on the altis map (see images). Perhaps this could be an SLI issue since I run two Titans? (I have fixed the PIP flicker by forcing single GPU in the SLI profile.) This doesn't seem to be an sli issue since this only happens on the challenge and on the southern island of Altis. Possible suggestions (and not "disable SLI", I have common sense to try that)?

These images are taken when throwing a smoke grenade on altis. The same problem happens on the challenge red2 course, but with silenced weapons.

Edit***

-After further testing the pphantoms appear whether the SLI in on or off. When in game if I turn the configuration terrain option to low then they disappear. If I turn down configure objects option to low then they lessen but don't fully diappear.

Fix***: After a lot of checking I have determined that the issue was with the new Nvidia driver update. Simply do a "clean installation" and the issue is resolved.
