Hullo,

So last week my HD 6850 kinda exploded, so i bought a HD 7850.

after uninstalling the previous drivers and catalyst, i got the updated versions of them. Aaanyways, everything seemed fine on the surface, but whenever i start to play games there are these weird horizontal waves started to dance on my monitor, just like an old ass TV that can't get the signal properly.

I looked at other similar problems but people tend to say it happens while watching stuff too, that doesn't happen to me or either in the desktop. It only happens in-game, either playing or in-menu. Also I tried two different cables(and they worked fine before my 6850 exploded), to RGB to DVI thingies(which worked well before, the other one is new.)

I tried the other solutions and enabled vsync and the situation kinda improved but not completely gone, but because i play cs:go and online games a lot, my movements got delayed, especially with the mouse, gameplay gone completely, so i scrapped that idea as well.

I own a regular cheap ass LCD flat screen, so no HD or anything.

anybody can help me with this?
