Ok i just got the new 3950 512mb ice3 turbo from his. I think it might be defective or something. Sometimes when i boot up my desktop will be shifter to the right. All i have to do to fix this is turn my monitor off and back on. Also i get this weird green screen sometime. It will just go to this plain green screen with lines in it. Its weird. So im wondering if i should get it exchanged or is it something else that is causing this?

If you turn off the monitor then turn it on again, and it becomes OK, then I think it's the monitor. Go to an electronic store to see if they can fix it or just buy a new monitor..

I doubt it's the monitor, however if you have another monitor, swap it and see.

It also could be the video card. When you play games, do you experience any artifacts?
