There are quite a few messages on the NVnews Linux forum by now 
complaining about this issue. It looks like it's not just screen 
flicker. The latest (8756) driver appears to reject in some cases any 
vertical refresh frequency higher than approx. 70...75Hz.
Sometimes, that brings a complete disruption of the normal functioning 
of the display (the screen goes dark at certain resolutions) as the card 
and the monitor do not agree anymore on a common set of parameters 
(resolution + refresh rate).
