I'm glad I saw this artical , I thought my 1yr old monitor was going . Very surprised I have'nt read anything like this in here yet . Here's a link to where NV news takes you on this subject ........ HERE

I use a 5600 Ultra v.2 ...... btw , so it's not just happening with the 5900's !

Flickering Confirmed - 8/08/03 6:05 pm - By: volt - Source: Forums

The gang over at NVIDIA confirms the flickering (quivering) issue:
We had one person in the Bay area confirmed with these symptoms. He was kind enough to agree to visit us. We had him come in to the NVIDIA offices today. We were able to see the ?flicker issue? and try some things to fix it. We have some good theories about the cause. Next step is to reconstruct his system, prove our theories, and then find a solution.

We will let you know when we have some definite conclusions.
Thanks to all for your feedback and help in resolving this issue.

Looks like this is an issue with both NV and ATI:

We have become aware that both NVIDIA and competitor?s cards are experiencing similar problems that are described as ?flickering?, ?rolling lines? or ?quivering? in different forum posts. Here are a couple of examples:

NVIDIA has been investigating these problems; we are having a difficult time reproducing the issue. We are under the impression it is a noise issue, not a graphics card issue and is system specific.

In an effort to find a solution, we ask that anyone in the Bay area who is experiencing this issue on an NVIDIA GPU and would like to visit NVIDIA with the system in tow contact us. We can use the system to identify the problem and see if we can resolve the issue. You will be doing a favor to NVIDIA and a service to the community. We will also make sure you leave with an arm full of NVIDIA swag!

First come first served! We can not look at every system in the Bay area, sorry.
Contact bburke@nvidia.com.

I wonder if the fact that these cards require an extra power connector has anything to do with it?
Anyway, glad that NV is trying to find the cause and develop a solution-although I don't have the problem I feel for those who do.
