I'm ignorant on most of this discussion but my graphics card was causing lots of issues. They went away when I reduced the color scale. All good now.

Hey Roger aka berlymahn.  It worked! It's a huge improvement. Reduced color bit depth from 32 to 16 bit 60hz.. Color isn't as sharp but I'll take less vivid with less pops any day.  I'm going to get a better card but this one is  useable til I do.  Thanks again to everyone for their input.         Mike 

Excellent!

Just a note - I'm sure many people already know this, but DPC Latency Checker currently does not report accurate results for Win8.

Yep, you'll need LatencyMon to check DPC Latency under Win8x64.

LatencyMon will hand you stats on per device basis - a lot of times you might find that it isn't an audio driver after all...
