When I'm doing something on the main monitor , the secondary monitor flickers. I don't know if it's because this card is having trouble keeping up with both monitors or not.
I've been running the drivers that came IN BOX with the card. I can't remember which version now. But I've updated to the latest drivers from the Nvidia Website , and it didn't seem to help the problem. Both Monitors are Compaq V70 running at 12x10 at a 75hz refresh rate. It's always flickered on the secondary monitor , but it's finally gotten on my nerves and I can't take it anymore. Usually when I game I shut the secondary monitor down , sometimes I leave it running to run my Motherboard monitor , and system monitoring utilities , but not so much lately. I decided to play Doom 3 yesterday as I haven't played it in a while , and I had all of the settings maxed out , and it would almost freeze when a door would open. Or I turned quickly. I don't know if playing it at 10x12 with 16xAA is the isue with my system , I think I used to play at 1024x768 with a lower AA setting I honestly can't remember , and since I mostly play GuildWars , my system hasn't been really stressed to do anything. It's been over two years since I set up this machine , could I benefit from a reformat , and a clean install?
