NVIDIA was made aware of an issue involving the GeForce FX 5900 series of graphics cards where some users have reported a slight "flickering" of the image on their screen, visible on a light color background in certain 3D scenes.
In examining the information available, NVIDIA has determined that the issue may involve an interaction between select combinations of the graphics card, system, monitor, other electronic components and the application which creates noise or signal interference.

O.K, I took a chance & Just installed em right over the Omega drivers and the flickering has stopped in games and it appears I still have the capabilities of the Omega drivers such as overclocking, AGP settings, artifacts testing, and Texture sharpening as well as performance/high performance/Quality settings for the Omega Drivers.
I haven't tested to see if these still work or not Yet- But I will & report back what I find.
The Flickering Has Stopped- Kudo's To Nvidia for the fix- Now, If I can just stop My Eyes from flickering I'll be all set =)
BTW, For anyone that is interested, These Omega Drivers are sanctioned By Nvidia so to speak (They've given the developpers permission & Blessings I guess to modify the drivers for performance as well as Quality optimizations)
My 3dmark 2003 score went from 4913 with the 45.23 drivers from Nvidia to 5122 with these Omega drivers installed under the performance  installation (There are 2 installations, one for Quality and one for  performance-I chose performance)
The good thing about these drivers is You just instal directly over the Nvida drivers- No worries-it tells You right in the help file to do this-So no leangthy uninstals and clean reinstals are necessary =)
With these drivers, You get an overclock setting (Which is nice because it has a utility built right in to test Your new settings on the fly) and You get a new agp settings GUI too- check em out, they are nice drivers for sure.
