Doesn't seem to make much difference if I do or don't leave a core free. I just suspended NFS for one Milkyway unit start to finish to test it - no problem while the unit was running, then as soon as it finished and there was a few seconds of low/no GPU activity, as I was scrolling a web page I got crazy flickering again, as soon as the unit started and the GPU load went back up it went away. Just paused Milkyway and without any GPU load, the flickering is still present when scrolling or changing window focus, too.
GPU isn't overclocked, this Win7 install is pretty recent, and I've only ever had this one driver version on here.
After a bit more Googling it seems like the issue is related to the idle/2D clock speeds which I could fix with a BIOS flash - basically edit the 2D clocks to be the same as the 3D clocks. I might have to do that because this is silly, and incredibly annoying how it's only come up again on this card after changing GPU projects, looks like just a coincidence though.
