(Link to thread where people discuss issue with X1xxx cards where the image flickers randomly every once in a while).

Anyone here experience this?

EDIT: Added poll, and FYI I'm only interested because I plan to get a x1900xt soon.

CRT flickering with 1900XTX. from the very begining and AFAIK it happens with all ATi atleast current generation cards.

Never had any flickering on my LCD with any of the three XTXs I've used using the DVI cable.

Do you get this flickering? What's your setup, are you running a single CRT, or dual CRT? In the thread I linked in the OP, people say it's an issue when running dual displays, but it's not totally clear if that's the case.

You shouldn't get flickering with an LCD.
CRT's if you get flickering just raise the refresh rate as high as you can make it go.

He obviously didn't.

It does seem that only some of us have that issue.

I'd like to think an RMA would fix it, but i suspect with my luck i'd end up with a card with even worse flickering.

BTW, no, it's not limited to dual displays either.

Interesting, so you get this flickering? How often does it happen? Does it happen while gaming?

Does RMA'ing ever fix the issue for some people? I'm trying to figure out if the issue is just with certain cards, or if any x1xxx card can have this problem if used in the right (or should I say wrong/unlucky) system config.

No flickering on my X1900AIW and a 19" Samsung Syncmaster 997DF CRT. I'm using the 6.6 Warcats w/ATT instead of the CCC. Running on a 460W Enermax PSU.

I don't have any problems on a CRT. I also use ATT instead of CCC, if it matters.

No flickering here - x1900xt and a CRT.

Flickering while booting and all on a single CRT

None, but on a LCD 🙂
