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?
 
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.
 
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?
 
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.
 
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?
 
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.
