I keep getting the odd flicker (like a flash of a bright or dark line / shape) in games. I guess this is artifacting, even if there aren't bright greens or pinks visible.

What would you do? The reason I ask is that at the moment it's relatively minor, and I'm sure Gigabyte would find nothing if they tested it.

Temps in games are always around the high 50's to about 80C.

What I might do is try the previous driver, though on reflection I think this began a while ago. It's just taken me a while to fully realise and not mistaken it for something like a game bug.

The card is a Gigabyte gtx480 SOC.

I'll just throw in that my Enermax Galaxy psu is four years old...could that be part of the problem?
 
Try different drivers first.

If that doesn't help then run FurMark and see if it does it then. FurMark will put the card under 100% load, so should show up any problems.
 
Try lowing the memory clock a bit?

I've dropped the memory clock a very small amount. I'll have to see how it fares.

What version of afterburner is everyone using? I seem to recollect it showed the shader clock, yet I don't see that with the most recent updates? Maybe I'm wrong, and perhaps it was never there to begin with. Something looks different, though.
