Well i was in the middle of the game and the game started screen flickering, Ive never had this problem at all. Im running the most current driver and Caps. If i minimize the screen it goes away. Ive played this game for 25 hours and never expierienced this. Running 3 6970s in Tri-Fire. I reboot my machine And its still there.
 
Its an ongoing issue with this game and video drivers on both Nvidia and AMD. If you just upgraded to the latest drivers and CAP's then roll back to the ones that didn't give you the issue. If you need whatever fix is in the new drivers, you will just have to deal with it until AMD gets their shit worked out.
 
Frustrating that it just came outta no where, never had an issue and it happened in game. Really pissing me off.
 
Seems to be only when Running 3rd card? Temps are ok with all 3 cards, Possible one card is going bad?
 
Really wierd that it came outta now where, Guess it is time to test out the cards, Im going to swap out card 2 with card 3 then run Crossfire then Tri-Fire and see what happens. But before i do that im going back to some older drivers. Be right back :)
 
Ok guys i tried all 3 cards in slot one By themselves, No Problems what so ever. Going to try all 3 Crossfire settings now.
 
Mine flickered for the first time today too. Running GTX580's in SLI. The flickering went away after I restarted the game.
 
I get this sometimes too with a single 580 then it stops... it's the game, used to happen in BF BC2 with bloom enabled in DX10 mode. They need to fix it.
 
Still working on it, While i was messing with configurations i cant seem to see the 3rd card anymore!BONUS!!!! WTF!!! I might just re -seat all 3 cards and do a fresh install of windows, If it still doesnt work i might as sell 1 6970 card and keep the money and wait for the new cards to come out.
 
Well im happy to report, i re-installed Window 7 ultimate, all updates, re-installed BF3 with the newest Drivers and Caps and its gone. Hopefully it wont return, Im hoping i had some wierd driver glitches or leftover stuff floating around somewhere.
 
HOnestly I hate to say it but it may not be gone. It seems to be random for me with 2 6970's. I get some flicker of grey flashes then sometimes I get the green quick flashes. They are updating BF3 across all platforms and battlelog is being updated so maybe this will help since they are fixing eyefinity issues they say along with the black screens and random crashes.
