    I'll wait to see if this causes flicker on 4K models, as the last ~5 bios' have. Sitting comfortably on Bios 1.2.0 with no flicker, last bunch have caused flicker issues :(

    Edit: Apparently the flickering is still an issue :(

    My 9550 still has bios version 01.02.00, should I stick with this for the time being or update to one of the later ones?

    Have looked for a dedicated thread on BIOS going back several pages but didn't see any other threads for a 9550 other than this one.

    Thanks.

    Stick with it, new one causes flicker.
