The flashing effect is a known problem with the new GeForce FX 5900 Ultra series as well as Radeon 9800 Pros. I had to send two $500 videocards back to NewEgg because of it. For the FX 5900's, there is no fix -- seriously. I'm not sure how ATI has dealt with the problem concerning the Radeon 9800 Pro. I just wanted to let ya know that this is a widely known problem. I'd check out ATI forums and look up flashing problems. The eVGA forum I went to about the flashing problem had a thread about that exact problem -- with 972 replies. That was this past summer. There's probably information in some forum out there about it; I'd check'em out. Good luck!
