    Hi,
    I have updated to the latest catalyst driver and it seems ever since 12.4, whenever I use saphire trixx to over clock it will give me this flickering.
    However when I oc using the overdrive function this does not happen.
    As I don't want to miss out on the support etc the new drivers give out, is there any ways to increase the oc limit on the overdrive function?
    As the current limit is only 710/1000
    Can anyone guide me through a method or send me a bios that increases the limit to say like 800/1000?
    Any help will be much appreciated!
    Thanks!

    The temps would rise... either overvolt it or just leave it, I would recommend leaving it :)

    use the /xcl switch with MSI Afterburner and reboot.
