    7900GT - Bad card?

    Just wondering if anyone has ever had any problems regarding 'flickering' on your monitor, i.e. the screen flashes on and off as if you're changing res and doesn't stop... I initially experienced this phenomenon when alt-tabbing from bf2 on saturday but i thought it was a one off experience but it doesn't seem to be

    I'm guessing it's down to the video card being borked as my previous SLI 7800GT setup was working with the monitor. :\

    So... anyone ever seen this sort of thing before?

    Sounds a bit cream-crackered tbh. Try removing and re-inserting the card and see if that helps. I had a loose AGP port on an old PC once which took a little wiggling to get it to display anything. Have a look at the temps too in the Nvidia Nview thing.

    Guess it's an RMA, bah
