Dudes, please help with annoying flickering

[jyi786]

I flashed my BFG 5900U to a BFG 5950Ultra. Along with all the speed increases and the good stuff came the infamouse flickering issue. It's extremely annoying, and is very prevalent when I am scrolling or when a dialog pops up on my screen.

What can I do to alleviate this problem? Should I flash to another manufacturer's 5950 BIOS? Can you give me some links, as I forgot that huge thread with all the BIOSes. I tried different drivers as well as monitor INF files.

Thanks.

Try decreasing your refresh rate on your monitor.

Here's a good place for bios roms: http://www.mvktech.net/download.php

Decrease or increase?

Decrease.... if you are running at 85Hz you may try 80 or 75. I wouldn't go lower than 75 though because you will get a flicker effect on light colored backgrounds.... also added a link above for bios roms for ya.

Thanks buddy. Will try.

I do only 100hz. It looks like a solid piece of color all the time with any res. I can tell the difference between 85hz and 100hz on my desktop. ( 85 flickers )

Man I really hope I'm not screwed with this issue. Is there anyway around this to "enable" the flicker fix?

What the?? can't you just change the refresh rate?
