Hello,

I recently purchached this card with Dual DVI. I am very happy with
it. But since using it with a brand new HP 2335 Monitor I have a lot
of pixel flickering where patterns are.
(basically with patterns like *.*.*.* where * is pixel on and . is
off. Sometimes even in "www" - I would see a constant flickering
inside the letters www.

I am a bit helpless. I tried the advanced timing options with the
newer drivers... It would sometimes help to set it to DMT... but only
for a while.
If I use a lower resolution then 1920x1200 I do not see any flickering
at all. I hope this weird setting do not hurt my monitor as it just
recently keept switching on and off in rapid succession. (it would
stay on as I switched to DMT)

DMT settings also do not apear to really save.

Thanks for your Time.

Do you get the same problem on both DVI ports? I think one of them is
driven by the NV40's internal TDMS transmitter and the other one is
driven by an external transmitter chip. Maybe one of them does a better
job than the other.

I had this problem with DVi and the best fix was a better Cable.
