Bought one from newegg but I can't get the refresh rate higher than 75hz. At 85hz, my monitor starts to flicker (wavy screen) at any resolution. I tried it on three different computers to make sure, still flicker. Should I RMA it or am just missing some tweaks/setting? I am using catalyst 3 dirver straight from ati. Below is my specs:

Antec Smartpower 300w
Abit KT7A ver1.3
XP1700+
512 MB
30GB
Radeon 8500 LE.

you tries the card in 3 different computers? do you mean on 3 different monitors? Your monitors may not support refresh rates over 75hz... however if they do, you may want to RMA it. Also try contacint ATI tech support
