Has anyone with this card (or another) noticed some kind of flickering?

I've noticed it when browsing the web, on the desktop, when watching videos and even a couple times when gaming.
I've had a search and it seems there's been a few people with the issue on the same card.

Any ideas on what I could do?
Cheers.
 
Are you using the latest driver?

How long have you had it?

Have you overclocked it?
Yep, but I've used several drivers and they all have the problem.
I've had it for about a month now.
I have it overclocked yes, but the problem occurs at stock too (though maybe not as often? hard to tell).

And I'm using DVI at 60Hz.

As far as I can tell, that seems to have solved it. It forces it to run at load clocks and voltage though, which isn't really ideal :(
 
Could someone please do me a favour and check what their 7970 clocks are when streaming a HD video on youtube? Would appreciate it :D
