So, I'm hearing that others are having a problem, so I'll add my voice to the crowd.

I haven't noticed it outside of games, but in game my screen will flash quickly (like I hit alt-tab twice). I'm not sure what the screen flashes to, it has a bunch of circles. But it happens every 10-20 seconds or so.

SOLUTION TO SCREEN TEARING/ FLICKERING OVER ALL POOR QUALITY SINCE LAST PATCH REVEALED

Go to AMD website and update driver for your video card.
I just updated to beta driver 12.11 and it immediately fixed the problem.
This may have been caused by riot updating graphics but as far as myself and my friends who only run AMD.

I personally found that updating to beta driver 12.11 fixed the screen tearing.

I am running Radeon HD over clocked 7850 by Saphire Dual X. Windows 7 32 bit.

Here is the link to the driver.

The beta driver seems to fix it for some but not for others (I'm among those unfortunate few). Try your luck. If it doesn't work, add your voice to the thread given by Taboss.
