I know a few here have this card,

I'm getting bad flicker on the screen with mine at Stock. I've removed all drivers, used a cleaner and reinstalled, but still the same issue.

Any ideas?

I'll try and get a video up!
 

and I've already done all that Matt :(

Bad Ram on the card??

Display cable is a standard one. No HDMi inputs on my Samsung.
 
ATiman wouldn't run for me. It opens then closes!

I didn't have this problem with the VTX 7970 I had. The PSU is an OCZ 1250w ZX unit, I'm just uploading a second video now for you that's a bit longer,

I ******* hate computers sometimes! :mad:

I know that feeling all too well :p

PSU should be spot on, good solid high capacity OCZ unit :)

Of course the more obvious/common question...do you have another machine you can try the card in?
 
Hmm, any chance you have another cable floating around you can use?

Just to rule absolutely everything out, you don't want to RMA the card to find its something else and get slapped with a testing and shipping charge :(
 
Last things to try:

Replicate it with something like Heaven (makes life easier for who you RMA it to if you can force it in a free bench program)

If possible try the card in a friends machine.

The quicker/easier you can replicate the error the quicker you'll get a replacement. When I shipped back my obviously stone dead MSI Lightning to OcUK for RMA it was received, tested and shipped to MSI inside half an hour :)
 
Under 28 days, You'll get an off the shelf replacement direct from OcUK in that case then :)

If you're within traveling distance to OcUK you could probably avoid any extra charges by taking the card in your self too :)
 
Arghhh.

Finally got ATi Uninstaller man working, removed everything.

Stuck 12.10 Drivers on with the latest Cap profiles, and I still get the same thing. What do I do!? :(
