Well, I've been having some color issues with this card just recently, and it just came up. I had been using it with no problems until BLAM! The blending gets all weird.
Anyone got any suggestions?

See if you can borrow another monitor and slap it on to check. Could be your tubes going bad.

Yeah...it's hard to see with those X-Box sized pictures.
I assume that it might just be time to invest in a new monitor. Flat-screen is pretty good, much better than CRT. I don't mean Flat-Panel monitors, I mean one that's basically a normal-looking monitor with a literal flat screen. They're cheaper than flat panels, too.

thing is, I'm pretty sure that this is a card thing. I have swapped monitors (the one in the pictures was a flat panel btw), and still had the same problem...

Can't help with the problem, but I can wholehartedly recomend Omega Drivers for any Video card.
On my machines with lower end ATI cards, they doubled my 3D mark score.

Yup, pick up a new card and slap the Omega drivers on it. I use them on my desktop system and it works soooo much better.

They are optimized drivers. In my case, they enable the 4 disabled render pipelines on my 9800se. In other cases they just really up the performance.
