I recently purchased a PNY Verto Geforce3 Ti 500 video card from an online vendor, had no problems installing the video card, however, my display seems slightly corrupted. The problem is kind of hard to explain. It looks like there is a hint of television-like interference. It is always present. I have tried changing video card drivers, re-installing directx, changing resolutions and refresh rates with no success. I hooked up a different monitor with a different monitor cable and had the same corrupted display. I then tried reinstalling my old video card, and the display was fine. I put the Verto Geforce3 Ti 500 back in and the corrupted display returned. I was about the conclude that there is something wrong with the card. As a last test, I put the PNY Geforce3 Ti500 in one of my other computers, and the display was not corrupted. Now I am simply baffled. There must be something in my computer that has an issue with this specific video card. Any suggestions?
