I'm useing the 7.3's with my X1650 pro, and have no graphical glitches at all. The flickering is an issue that is seen by many who own both ATI, and Nvidia. I don't think there is a definite answer to that one. There also was a seperate thread a while ago dealing with the "Flickering Textures" issue. Do a forum search, and you may be able to dig it up.

Another thought: Did you completly remove all traces of your old graphics driver befor installing the new? Since you had a different brand card, any trace of that old driver may play havoc with a new driver of another brand.

I had a look in my device manager and the driver for my x1650 is 8.380.0.0
