[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 977595, member: 131855"] Is it possible that the cable connecting your Mac to the monitor is bad? Also, do you have two monitors connected to the card? If so try running with just one "known good" screen attached. I have an NVIDIA card that I think is starting to fail. It will drive one monitor fine but has problems when two screens are connected. Also The PC versions of the card that you are seeing do not work on a Mac. The firmware is different. The only way these cards generally work on the Mac is if you can find a utility to flash the firmware on the card to the Mac firmware. I've seen some reports of this working with some cards but I believe that if the process fails there is a good chance it will "brick" the card. [/QUOTE]
