    screen jump / flickering with new 9800 pro and LCD

    I'm using the VGA adaptor (the monitor doesn't have a DVI out), although I'll check the ATI drivers like you suggested to see if there is anything I can modify. As for the light spot: the upper right hand corner of the blue start up screen is more lighter than the rest of the screen. In...

    screen jump / flickering with new 9800 pro and LCD

    I recently built an AMD64 3000+ based computer with a Sapphire 9800 Pro and a Nu 17" LCD monitor with 500:1 and 16ms response time. Everything worked fine for the first few weeks, but have noticed that when the system has been operational for an hour or two, the screen starts to "jump" or...

    Is this a 9800 Pro or not?

    http://shop1.outpost.com/product/3628345 The literature has me confused.... I'd be willing to pay $180 for a pro if that's what it is. The box certainly says ATI Radeon Pro and it talks about it being 128MB with 256bit processing.....

    rate my rack (so to speak) - vid card recs

    Thanks for the recommendation - $270 for a video card is a tough pill to swallow though. Are you talking about rendered models in AutoCAD, or 2D stuff? Why can't I make more money?
