well, i bought a gtx 650 ti boost a week ago and from the very 1st day, after installing the driver i'm having some lines, very negligible moving lines on my display. sometimes the border of an icon moves downwards too, and it stops sometimes after and then again starts. but its so much little that one cant even see before going too close of the display or staring constantly at one single point. it isn't bothering me but just wanted to make sure if the cause is a faulty card. i use a dvi to vga adapter and 60Hz ref rate. games run pretty okay and gives desirable graphics and frame rates but some specific games ( SC conviction, ACIII) are having some vertical shivering lines too which are prominent to some extend.

try another monitor and another cable... if it gets fixed either your monitor is dying or the cable was broken.. u can do the rest...

if its not any of these two.. it is your gpu... check if it is seated and the pcie power cable is connected nicely . so push it harder... WITH FORCE CUZ THIS IS SPARTA

well then use some other resolution :/ .. i dont know any solution to that.. you'll just have to use the resolution u can :/ i will edit this if i find a solution

--EDIT--

you should try to edit the resoultion from the nvidia control panel and lower the refresh rate.. cuz maybe on that specific resolution refresh is higher that monitor can use so it doesn't show you anything.. if that doesn't work try updating you nvidia drivers to the latest version or even beta.. OR some old drivers that worked before :D also try another display on that resolution.. so we can make sure it is the monitor and not something with tha gpu
