5970 Woes ?

Rather hasty on pointing finger at the PSU, did you test it with your CPU at stock to ease the stress on the PSU? any better?
 
If you really want to know get a multimeter and measure it. If it dips much under 12v loaded then expect system problems. Personally I wouldn't trust a £500 graphics card a £700 cpu to anything but a top psu.

Can you disable cross-fire ? looked for it, didn't see it...

Everytime I scroll up and down this page the other monitor still flickers/stutters....
 
Have you tried it with just a single monitor connected?
Think the clocks should be 400/1000 for dual monitors when at desktop idling but it may be dropping to 157/300 which is the clocks for single monitor - when the memory clocks change on dual monitors you get flicker because the vblanks arent synced.Try monitoring clocks in gpu-z or afterburner see if they are oscillating.
 
Can i just ask you to overclock your CPU to around 4GHz again mate. Not sure about the stuttering, flickering but it may solve your problems with the CPU shooting up to 100% load as i'm sure your i7 will be a bottleneck at stock.

Just trying to help :)
 
Just got my i7 920 d0, straight in at 4Ghz, no more fps drop in NFSS shift when cars are directly in front, Q6600 @ 3.8 went down to 30fps at times, a decent CPU can make all the difference in certain games.

I've disconnected the Dell and clocks are 157/300.

Reconnected clocks are 400/1000.

The flicker/stutter still occurs when I grab this window and swirl it around the main monitor....and the other one...but never on the main monitor.
 
I'm using the recommended Beta drivers from AMD and they are a bit ruff.

Just had a weird red and black checker board pattern so had to reboot.
 
If there is suspicion that the psu is not upto the task oc'ing his cpu might not help and might cause more problems. I would wait the couple of days till you get your new psu and can then definately rule that out. Personally i would say the drivers are flaky and maybe wait till the next set come out and see if there is any improvement. Not very helpful for you m8 but all i got right now :).
