Seem to be sensitive too becuase it will pass everytime with my 8800GTX but failed with my 280GTX, untill I swapped the cables over, despite using the same monitors.

| If you have a video card with 2 outputs, could you not have the DTH2G on one and the 27" on the other? Then use display seting program in Windows to nominate which is your primary display. |
