Replace your eyeballs with ones that aren't bothered by 100hz, like the other 99.9% of us.

Seriously though, are you sure its changing refresh rates when you change it in the control panel? Do you notice it in games and windows explorer, or just one of the 2?

Ya know, I'm not sure, but I'm gonna say the reason you're experiencing this now and didn't on the TNT is that the RAMDACs on your new card are much better and are made with much tighter tolerances, and maybe the TNT was bleeding images or had a lazy refresh rate or something.

This is either being caused by a software problem, your card, or your monitor. You can RMA your card and see if a new one does it also. You can also format your HD and see if it still happens. If neither of those are the cause, you need a new monitor. My above explanation reveals how it could still be a monitor problem even though you didn't experience it on the old card.

I suggest you try another (crt) monitor, as that will rule in or rull out the monitor as the cause, without you having to format or RMA your card.

Monitors vary in the type and amount of phosphorous used on the screen, if there's not enough, it won't hold an image long enough and makes flashing more readily apparent. This is why some monitors advertise "flicker free operation" even at 60hz, their phosphorus holds the image for a long time and the images bleed. The downside is known as 'trailing', or 'ghosting'.

Yeah, neither of the things you did (trying an old monitor on ur new comp, trying the princeton on an old comp) rule in or out any possibilities. What were the specs of the computer you tried the princeton on?

The NEC could have more phosphorous and therefore not appear to flicker with your new computer.

I've tried the refresh rate everywhere from 60 to 100.

But when I change the rate, nothing appears to change. The flicker gets no worse or better, no matter the refresh rate. Like the windows control panel is not affecting the monitor.
