Hi;
I have a BFG GeForce 9800 512MB viceo card with a Viewsonic VX2000 which was working fine until I updated the NVidia driver (from the BFG site).
What happens has been that when the screen is dark, I can see horizontal noise lines on the left side of the screen.
This has happened each time I updated the display drivers from the original version that came on the BFG CD, which is V 6.14.11.7824.
That original version works fine.
I have tried updating the drivers three times since purchasing this card back in March.
There is really no reason I need to update the drivers, since the older ones are working fine. I was just curious to see if a newer driver will not have this problem.
My OS is Windows XP Pro, SP3 with all updates installed.
My system is Asus P5AD2-E Premium with Intel P4 @ 3.4Ghz, being OC'd to about 3.9G.
The overclocking has nothing to do with this problem by the way; I started seeing this before I did any tweaking.
When I tried the latest NVidia driver, V 6.14.11.9038 today, I had an even more serious problem; While running Adobe Photoshop 7.0, the screen would flicker occasionally, sometimes blacking out long enough for the "Digital" icon to appear in the lower right of the screen.
My opinion on this is that there is an incompatability issue between the 9800 card and my Viewsonic VX2000 monitor when the latest driver is installed.
I also use a smaller Eizo LCD as a second monitor, but never tried making it the primary, since it is an analog monitor, and that test would be pretty much worthless anyway.
I have also tried discussing this with BFG's tech team, and didn't really get anywhere, because as soon as I found that the old driver worked, I figured it was a waste of my time and theirs. But now I think I will send them another report on this.
Any ideas ?
Thanks
