    just curious, does the flickering stop if you tilt the screen to a certain angle?
    i suspect a case of pinched LCD cables here.

    Try using ATI CrossFireX Application Profile 10.8a

    Don't know if it will solve your flickering in all games, but this is what you normally have to install to get the latest fixes for CFx Support.

    Good Luck!
