Check and see if there is some menu item on your LCD that shows your refresh rate. You should be running at 60Hz. I have the same video card as you do. I had flickering problems and it turned out to be the DVI cable. See if you can swap one from another LCD and see if that fixes it. If it is a dual head card with an analog port and the LCD also has an analog port, try running your LCD with the analog cable and see if the flickering goes away. Mark -- Mark C.
