Ahhh, second monitor flickering is back

[Boozebeard]

So when I first got my 5850 there was a problem were overclocking the card would cause the memory timings to drop really low when idle and if you had 2 screens this would cause the second screen to flicker. Well ages ago in some driver release they changed it so idle memory timings were higher (which loads of people cried about) recently they've changed it so memory timings are lower again if you have only one screen attached. Well all of a sudden my second monitor has started flicking again today for no reason I can think of. I didn't update my drivers today, was fine yesterday but now my mem timing keep dipping down to 300 and causing my monitor to go all crazy.

Anyone else getting this? I've tried reinstalling drivers but it didn't help.

Gonna have to run it without the overclock for now. Will be going Nvidia next round, have had far too many annoying driver problems.

What the hell, even going back to 10.11 drivers hasn't helped. Why on earth has it just randomly started doing this again. Going to cry.

Sorry i cant offer any help but i too will br going nvidia. Maybe try driver sweeper and going back to the older drivers that did work

Actually try msi afterburner and tell it to keep certain mem clock speeds and appky overclock at startup

I am using afterburner and I have always had a 2D and 3D profile. It's just ignoring my 2D profile and putting the mem speed at 300 anyway =/

I know there is a file tweak you can do that forces constant timings but this causes issues.

I still haven't been able to fix this by the way :C

I had this problem also. Try 10.09 - worked for me
