sapphire 7970 flicker

[atomic7431]

hello,

on the desktop i keep getting flicker when i move the mouse occasionally not always just some times, im using the drivers from the ati site drop down selection, wondering if anyone else has seen this, and this is happening without an overclock?

i've got the same exact problem with a gigabyte reference 7970 using catalyst 12.3 with all default settings.

 

[Voltage]

got the very same problem here, its annoying

 

[Awahwah]

it's driver related.

Ditto here, Sapphire ref card.

No issues here with a Gigabyte OC card on 12.2 drivers

 

[Voltage]

im on the latest 12.3 drivers off a fresh install of windows 7

I also get this, thought it was my monitor.

Some poeple are having problems with the latest drivers including myself, get random BSODs with my 7950. Rolled back to 12.1 and problem is gone.

Are you guys having problems running 120hz screens by any chance?

I get this using 12.2 on a 7970, on a U2711. Randomly, not all the time. Seems to be the bottom of web pages mostly. Weird?

Yes, only noticed it since i got the 120hz Benq. Also as 'rare' mentions its at the bottom of web pages mainly for me.

Same as I, try switching to 60hz and the problem goes away. Dodgy AMD.drivers!

I had this and fixed it by going into CCC then desktop management, desktop properties change resolution and save, then change back again worked for me.

 

[Voltage]

just tried the res change........didnt work

Have a Sapphire 7970 and don't seem to have these issues. I'm not using the latest drivers though so it could be that?

 

[Voltage]

thinking it might be driver related, what driver is best for 7970 xfire?

you should edit a file in the appdata to change memory speeddown to about 500mhz then the 2d flickering will go away. I'm not allowed to link you all to the fix here but it solves this problem. Some card bioses speed down to 300mhz some 150mhz but setting to a different value in the appdata folder files works wonders.
