I just hooked up my gf3 ti200 and everything looks excellent ran the 3dmark2001 for a score of 2700 on one setting and 3500 on another however Im having a problem whenever I say go into a game the monitor clicks pops (looks like it winks out for a second) and then goes into the game the same thing happens when I close the game. Does anyone have an idea what is causing this?

This is normal AFAIK ... It happens with games all the time with me .. nothing to worry about ...

I think that is just the game altering the resolution....

What does AFAIK mean? So this is normal and it wont harm my monitor when I ran 3dmark2001 in a higher resolution it continously did this after finishing one test and before moving on to another.

AFAIK = As Far As I Know ..

It will not harm your monitor in any way .. just enjoy the game and forget the monitor click ..

.. it is the way it should be ..

Well with that behind me I can honestly say I LOVE THIS CARD!!! Moving from my Voo3000 16mb agp to the g3 makes a huge difference on my machine I was simply amazed at the detail of the leather coat in the matrix scene as well as the dragothic test (is this a real game). I am about to run the test again and compare results online what score should I fall between?

My Voodoo5 does the same thing. It's just switching over to the cards 3D settings as per the game settings.
