There is no actual WDDM driver for Windows 7 but perhaps would be better to
fix/improve the actual driver instead of trying another one.

Are you able to try current WDDM driver with a recent version of Windows
(like Windows 10) and see if the flickering is still present?

How can we reproduce the issue? Which application are you using?
Can you post a small video of the issue?
