Hi Fuzzb
As it turns out, I uninstalled Catalyst CC and uninstalled the video drivers to try and fix another BSOD problem I was having when trying to load games and change profiles (i had no flickering though)!
After uninstalling and rebooting, I initially let windows 7 automatically install the drivers (version 8.681.0.0) from the internet. The flickering had come back when trying to play crysis warhead and left4dead 2 (didn't try other games). The flickering was there in single and dual monitor mode, but it went away and worked well in 3 monitor mode (all 3 monitors were always plugged in, but some disabled in windows display settings). Catalyst was not installed at this time. Again, 59 vs 60Hz made no difference.
So, once it was working in 3 monitor configuration I installed Catalyst 10.2 (driver ver 8.702.0.0). I now get the flickering (100%/80% screen size with tearing) again in ANY monitor configuration!
The flickering is only there in full screen mode. It disappears when the game is windowed, or if AI is disabled. Neither of these are suitable solutions really. I wish I could remember what I did the first time to fix it!
