Funky Green pixels

Green artifacts are a sure sign of GFX trouble.

The same thing happens when you push a GFX to far.

Don't put an LCD >60 unless it supports it. LCDs do funky things if you put it >60 and it doesn't support it.

It's an X850XT with a Zalman VF700. When I was putting on the Zalman RAM heatsinks, I though there were more than 8 in the box, so I took off two old heatsinks on these other two things that look like RAM chips (but aren't). Then I realised that were only 8 new heatsinks, so I had to put those old sinks back on... So they obviously don't stick as nicely anymore...

well... that is an old card, and sadly you might find that those things are the ROP's, but still, maybe a ram chip is dying
 
Ohhh.. I misread your posts a bit.. Sorry :)

Ok then it sounds like the monitor's resolution scaling circuit is budged. In Nvidia's drivers you can set your monitor/resolution scaling to be done via the GPU and not the monitor.

Well here's what I've figured out:

It DOESN'T happen with a different monitor.
It DOESN'T happen at lower resolution than 1280x1024.
It DOESN'T happen at lower colour qualities than 32bit.

At 1280 x 1024 the stress on the Video RAM is highest. Now you mention it happens with a specific monitor?

Sounds now like RAMDAC could be seeing it's arse. In which case I recommend you replace that card.
