    Hey everyone

    In some games, I experience a flickering screen with my 7970M. I can fix this by running the game in windowed mode. I don't understand why. I think it is a driver conflict between the Intel and the ATI-driver, but even though I have tried reinstalling both drivers (I used Driver Fusion to clean the registry before starting), and I have downloaded the newest drivers, the flickering hasn't gone.

    I hope that you can help me.

    Kind Regards

    PS
    I have the P170EM :)

    I have the same problem with beta drivers in some games. Reverting to latest WHQL drivers fixes the problem for me.

    Thank you for your answer Marecki_clf :)
    Which drivers do you use at the moment (both AMD and Intel)?

    I fixed it!
    I installed an older Intel driver (the one from Clevos websiste under "P170EM")
