Before the drivers I was stable on 110hz with correct downclocking with no scanlines and no whine. Precisely the same settings after Omega but these issues have now appeared.

You said the drivers seemed fine at first, but then the monitor stopped displaying 110 Hz and the GPU memory wouldn't clock down anymore. That means something else changed that you didn't recognize. You also said the horizontal scanlines and high-pitched noise happened with the 7970, which was before the new drivers. This sounds like an intermittent fault with the monitor combined with something else that is causing the memory clock to stop clocking down.

At first being immediate install but I didn't actually do anything further other than go to bed. The issues began the next day when I used the computer seriously, but the only thing that had changed was the Omega drivers. The issues with the 7970 actually disappeared in August when I built a new computer and everything was fresh. That's several months without faults of any kind until Omega was installed. It sounds somewhat coincidental to me, but if you're sure it's nothing to do with your software I'm completely at a loss as to explain the cause.

Increasing v blank incrementally hasn't resolved the issue either sadly
