I got a weird issue with my GPU card (ATI RadeonHD 5770). Everything is working fine with latest official drivers for my card which comes with windows but when i am trying the latest from the ati website (i tried 9.xx and all the series of 10.xx). Flickering comes when playing media on my secondary screen. (1080p basically and also i tried different resolutions too!). I uploaded 2 photos and i wish that you can understand better what i want to explain to you! Sorry for my bad English and thanks a lot in advance!

Ive had flickering issues when using HDMI and DVI on 2x monitors of different resolutions.

42" TV using HDMI w/ Audio at 1920x1080 and 24" Monitor using DVI at 1920x1200.

When opening a webpage with flash or opening a media file, monitor 1 (TV) flickers but it only happens for about a half second then is fine.

I dunno what to say. Maybe the latest ones don't work as well with your particular card? You know the old ones work so I don't see why you insisted on upgrading?

Typically have to upgrade to receive better performance on newer games unfortunately and this issue has been around for a long while without a solution so there really is no reason to not update the drivers since it doesn't make the situation worse and using old ones doesn't fix the problem.

The similarity seems to be the 5770 series, I wonder if it is just a flaw with that series of cards.

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
