New 1GB 4870 arrived yesterday and I am experiencing an annoying problem - the screen flickers a hell of a lot on the desktop.
Initially I thought it was a driver bug with Catalyst 9.4 and Windows 7 (might still be), but having done a little googling, seems that this problem has plagued people with overclocks on the GDDR5 memory, and once set to 900MHz the problem goes away.
Obviously, this is less than ideal and could affect resale value of the product if I had to tell someone they would need to underlock the memory.
I do not want to go anywhere near updating BIOS for the cards.
Is this a problem which driver updates have fixed on Vista, but are still present in Windows 7?
What might I possibly do to fix it?
