Does it show up when you take a screenshot and upload the image somewhere for us to see? Can you provide a photo of what your monitor shows? That's the key to see whether or not it may be a Graphics Card issue. What you're describing could be either trouble with the monitor, motherboard or the Graphics Card.

Sounds like it's the screen to me... Is there any way you can test it?

Faulty wiring maybe? If it's LCD, I know there's a screen of RGB pixels over the entire thing which maps out what you see, it may simply be throwing too much power to the screen, giving you the dots you see.

In that case, please verify the drivers for the graphic cards.Are both drivers for old card and new card conflicting with eachother?
Did you uninstall old drivers before installing the new card's drivers?
WHat make are the cards, can you put information on these..

Quit putting magnets on top of your monitor!
