Screen flicker with ATI Overdrive

no, its not occasional, its a constant strobe like flicker...a few flicks per second. So ugly, so annoying...I cant even play without getting a headache

Reminds me of that old joke "Hey doc it hurts when I do this" Doc "So dont do that". :p

Have you tried browsing ATI's support site ?

If it hurts, don't do it.

This is a known bug that ATi's FAQ claims no fix for. The way to OC your card without the flicker is to use RivaTuner. The lates versions support Ati cards. That's how I OC'd my x1950. You can try ATi Tools which is separate from CCC but there have been some fan control issues with it (It slows down or turns the fan off)
