Hey everyone,

I built a rig a few months back that contains an XFX9800GTX+ card powered by a OCZ 600w StealthXtreme PSU. The rest of my build contains a Q6700, 4GB PC5300, 2x500gb 7200rpm HD's, 2x Optical Drives all on an Asus P5Q board. I don't do any overclocking. Well here is my issue. While playing Gears of War on 1920x1080, I experience wavy lines going up and down my screen. They seem like heat waves? They are more transparent than anything else. I used different connections to the monitor, hdmi, vga, dv-i and get the same result. Btw, my monitor is an Asus vh226h. Any idea of what it could be?

What video drivers are you using?

Have you tried playing at lower resolutions?

Driver is: 8.15.11.9038

When I play it on lower resolutions, I don't see them as much, but they are definitely still there. Could it be that I need a stronger PSU?

The PSU is fine. I run an ATI 4870 (much more power hungry, equal to a GTX260) on an OCZ 500w PSU.

Does this happen during benchmarks?

Just ran Passmark, it didn't produce the wavy lines. Then again, the test ran at low-rez.
