I had this issue.  In my case I have two large monitors and the second
monitor flickered whenever the screen was updated (windows move etc.).
I solved it by going into the nVidia setup program and setting the
resolution and refresh speed manually.  The driver seems to autodetect
the speed to a level where the card can't keep up.  Setting the speed to
60Hz made the issue go away.  On a flat screen there's no real
difference between 60Hz and a higher update speed, so this works fine
for me.

System->Preferences->Monitors->Yes(to using graphics vendor's
program)->X Server Display Configuration->Resolution->1920x1200
60Hz->Apply

I didn't have to set the resolution and update speed on the second
monitor to make the issue go away.
