The good news is that the new PG WU's now work after installing CCC 10.11 APP along with the Open CL; the bad news is that after installing 10.11, I now have problems with my monitors.

I have (3) monitors and I am having this strange flicker problem with not the primary monitor but the other two, never at the same time though. It seems to only occur when I either have a browser up with intense graphics or when playing EVE online.

Saying it flickers is an understatement, it's hard to explain. Is anyone else having a similar problem?

Yes - but I don't have a solution.

Dual 5870 Win7x64 box, and when both video cards are in there, I've had that problem. Haven't seen it since one of the cards was pulled due to a dead fan.

Temp dependent, possibly? Are you cooling your cards, effectively? Also, it may be beneficial (assuming you're running dual cards) to move the primary monitor to the lower card...

I have plenty of cooling, they are running at 40°C. I assume you are talking about moving to the lower card that is further away from other heat sources?

I have included below a vid of what the monitor is doing when I say, "flickering." In the video the monitor is #3 which is the only one attached to the lowest card. To top the problem off... it only happens to monitors #1 or #3 never #2 which is my primary monitor. Monitors #2 and #1 share the same card.

From a quick search of the AMD fora it appears there is a problem with the ATI Overdrive in the 10.11 driver set.
Suggested solutions were reverting to 10.10 or disabling ATI Overdrive in CCC.

THAT sort of flickering - I've never had that issue. I think DrBob found the problem, though...

Thank you, I will try that; I know that I do have the overdrive enabled on my cards.

Disabling the Overdrive fixed the problem. :)

Thank you again DrBob.
