Retail 8500 screen shake at high refresh/rez?

[Toonfan]

I was wondering if any of you gurus out there might know if the 8500 64meg had shaking problems? I have one of the origional ones from the Dell deal a year ago. I thought it was just my old 17 inch monitor going bad. Well I've replace it with a ViewSonic P225f and the shake is more noticeable. At 60hz it's rock solid but push it to 70+ or the rez past 1280x1024 and it's shake city. I've replace the powersupply, ups, motherboard, memory, processor, drivers and no dice. I tried the system with my old voodoo3k and its rock solid stable. Is there a fix for this? I'm about to see how good ATI's warranty is if I can't get this resolved today.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

check your outlet make sure you have no magnets close to your monitor and pack a big lunch because your in for a long ride! power problems = suck my dads house is horrible and everything shakes just the slightest! try noise filters, outlets and your main ground of your fuse or breaker box(be careful). later good luck

I had the same problem with my GeforceTi4200. The text starts minior shaking at 1024X768, and at 1280x1024 the image quality is unacceptable, and at 1600X1200 it seriously hurt my eyes!

I have found out that the outlet that connects to my monitor had a poor ground connection! actually very very bad.

I run stuff at 1280X960 at 16bit color (I can see more shaking at 32bit color!)

this sucks!

I probably didn't didn't give much help uh? good luck..

try moving your pc somewhere else ( I mean the whole thing) and see if this helps. Could be to close to a mass powersuppy also!
