I move about a bit so some content from UK (50hz), some from Germany (also 50hz) and some OTA from Boston so 60hz.
I also have a waterproof camcorder which records 720p60 although that's easy for vdpau with no de-interlacing to do.
I made a special point of buying an overclocked 430 this one:

As I had seen that the benchmarks were a little tight, it does overheat easily which causes a great deal of glitching. Currently running with a huge slow fan instead of the original two little ones and no case top while I work out how to cool it properly.
Maybe the OP's 430 is getting a little warm.
Prior to the 0.25 upgrade I was considering swapping back to my GT220.
I only run de-interlacing at Advanced 2x anything else looks terrible IMPO.
