Is there any fix to the multi monitor flicker issue with the Eyefinity setup?

I'm using a Vapor-X 5870 with 3 Dell P2310H monitors and in either extended desktop or Eyefinity mode I get flickers on some of the screens. The only way I can resolve this is to set the clock speed via the AMD GPU Clock Tool, but then I'm left with the card running at max speed all the time even when I'm doing nothing at the desktop.

Using 10.1 drivers.

I assume the flicker is related to the drivers auto clocking the card as needed, or so I gleened from some reading.

I've got my card running at 400/1200 @1.163 volts full time to prevent the graphic corruption that happens when the ati underclocks to 157/300. If ATI has a better fix for this or if anyone else does, please share. thanks

I just disabled overdrive and I don't get flickering.

I'll be glad when ATI fixes it, but it's not like I need to overclock the card to get killer performance.

The problem is when you overclock your card. The 2D memory clocks need to match whatever you overclocked your 3D memory too.

There's 2 methods to fix it:
1) editing some profile, or files in your drivers.
2) editing your bios with RBE, setting 2D memory clocks to match 3D.

I haven't tried the first way, but i've edited my bios, and no longer have flicker on my side monitors anymore :)
