Anyone else have this issue with a 2 monitor setup?

I have a 680 GTX, second monitor seems to flicker on drop down menus, at least that is all I use the second monitor for. I move FF over to the first monitor, flickering goes away.

Hmm not sure then. I have seen it on almost every card I've OCed, and on most of them it made it so I didn't end up OCing because it was so annoying.

At any rate I've got an SB i5 so now I jut enable the IGP and run my secondary monitor off of that.

Was it always the second monitor, not the primary?

That is a good idea with using onboard for that second monitor ... I have a P67 though :(

On a side note its possible that the memory is being downclocked so low in 2D that you need to up the 2d memory clock to fix the issue.

in the past with some Radeon cards, if I had OCing off the memory would sit at 400mhz, If I enabled OCing but didn't actually OC it would set the memory clock at 280. If I manually bumped the memory clock to 400 again it would resolve the issue for the most part.
