Re-install your driver(VGA) and see if it helps.

How do i reinstall the vga driver? I removed all nvidia items then reinstalled from the disk

 

[Tamz_msc]

Go to NVIDIA's website and download the latest drivers.

 

[cyprus1234]

Tried downloading the current drivers from nvidia again still same problem

 

[Tamz_msc]

Use driver sweeper to remove all the drivers in safe mode and then reinstall the drivers.Make sure you have the correct drivers( if you have 64-bit windows, you must install the 64- bit drivers)

 

[Maziar]

Are you 100% sure you didn't change anything in EVGA precision tool ? can you post a screenshot of it ?

 

[cyprus1234]

im sorry im very new to this could walk it through to me, im using windows xp 32bit. Originally i was just removing the nvidia drivers through add/remove. thank you

Are you 100% sure you didn't change anything in EVGA precision tool ? can you post a screenshot of it ?

yes i am 100% sure i just installed it from the disk looked at it new nothing about it and closed then ran into issues... i do remeber seeing the core clock thing at 1400 though

 

[Tamz_msc]

Core clock should be at 700 MHz, Shader clock is supposed to be at 1400 MHz.

 

[cyprus1234]

then lines only appear when i play a game temps are fine its just i get the flickering horizontal lines and things like the lights in the game no longer have the glow around them just plain basically

 

[cyprus1234]

Core clock should be at 700 MHz, Shader clock is supposed to be at 1400 MHz.

480 is 700mhz?

 

[Tamz_msc]

Yes Nvidia employs different core and shader clocks.Shader clocks are 2x that of core clock.

 

[cyprus1234]

i looked at the precision app but the core cloack thing wont go down to 700 just 1100, i just dont know how installing that app is causing problems and i didnt even touch anything in it.. maybe its a power issue idk im confussed lol

how do i do this?

 

[PsyKhiqZero]

Do you know what tearing is? Do you know what it looks like? Is it possible to post a screen shot of your "lines"

 

[cyprus1234]

i cant post it sorry. not sure what tearing is but these lines are translucent with at times flickering

Sounds like you need to enable V-Sync.

Enable V-Sync in a game that you know has this problem, see if it goes away.

 

[cyprus1234]

How to enable v-sync?

 

[Maziar]

Most game have it,open a game and you should find it in video options.

 

[cyprus1234]

not Vsync. Oh well thank you all for the help,

 

[cyprus1234]

Do you know what tearing is? Do you know what it looks like? Is it possible to post a screen shot of your "lines"

yes i do now know what tearing looks like by disabling vsync thats exactly what is was looking like but when it is enabled its not near as bad, seems to have helped with downloading the newer drivers but i now have a few lines across the screen that i see from certain angles or shades in the game these lines no longer flicker like tearing but they are there. any advice ty

Are you sure that CORE clock is locked at 1100 MHz?

 

[cyprus1234]

im gonna have to install it again to see, but the flickering or tearing seems to be gone now, just have the lines there

 

[cyprus1234]

Turns out it was a bad dvi cord thank you all for the responces
