I run a XFX 7600GT (the factory overclock) and I use the NGO optimized drivers (1.16369). I have an AMD64 3000 and 2 gigs of ram...My operating system is XP Home, and (finally)...the only flashing that I notice is the reflection of mountains in the water (from a distance)...
I used to get a (weird) shimmering in the reflections of the sun in the ocean, but that disappeared a few "NGO" drivers ago...actually the water (ocean/sea) has never looked better on my system (OpenGL, perfect, water-3)
The MOST annoying problem I was having with the water (for a loooong time) was the elusive black circle that was hiding beneath my fighter...I could always see it at the edge of my "POV" peripheral vision, but whenever I tried to get a good look at it, it disappeared (poof!). But like the shimmering "NGO" sorted it out...(actually the circle was what introduced me to the "NGO optimsed" drivers...before them I had the problem)
Now my only problem is the disappearing reflection of the mountain...
