I can't find the thread at R3D, but I do recall a few people fixed the flickering problem by changing around their power leads. It seems some people get the flickering if the lead connected to the 4-prong on the card was also supplying power to a fan off the same lead. (Y'know how each lead has a couple of 2-4 4-prongs coming off the power supply? Make sure the lead connected to your viddy card ain't also connected to a fan.

As a result they seem to have over-engineered in some aspects creating a power-hungry monster which is going to be very expensive for them to manufacture. We have a beautifully balanced piece of hardware that beats them on pure performance, cost, scalability, future mobile relevance, etc. That's all because they didn't know what to aim at." -R.Huddy[/I] [/SIZE]
