Dang I was hopping for Vsync to work in Metro 2033. Although I don't know if that is something that needs to be fixed on driver side or game side.

ATI hasn't had a chance to work on Metro because they were being locked out.

The only game that clearly favors the GeForce GTX 480 is Metro 2033. (And we know that AMD still has its driver team looking over the final code release of the game and has not yet tweaked for it.)

AMD did not get a look at the final game code.....TWIWMTBP making for a better overall PC gaming experience. I am sure AMD is tweaking drivers for Metro now.

So, the next driver update may help.

I read somewhere that idiot Russian chief of the M2033 studio was openly bragging about using Fermi yet unfortunately not having time to test on ATI cards...

Yeah, that's really annoying. I never had a problem with flickering but the time it takes to display my scores/load the next map is plain ridiculous.:thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown:
