OT Monitor/video question

Alex, do you know whether you are using the TNT or the SLI Voodoo2s when running D3D games? If you don't already have one, get one of the switcher programs that lets you set which one is used for D3D. If you can CTRL-ESC back to Windows, then you are using the Voodoos.

I can't really speculate on what the problem is if you're running the TNT in D3D. But you could at least switch to using the V2's for D3D and get kick ass performance. You might try setting the refresh to 60Hz, to make sure of support. (I run my SSE 751 at 85Hz though, so I'm not sure why this should be a problem.)

BTW, I had a similar problem when running my H3D + V2-SLI setup. It was fixed by a driver upgrade from Metabyte. (I have a Wicked3D + a BlackMagic Voodoo2.)

Good luck,
Tim
