SO i purchased a Gigabyte Radeon 6970 found here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125355&cm_re=6970-_-14-125-355-_-Product

I currently have a setup with 3 monitors running 1920x1080 each in eyefinity with an overall resolution of 5760x1080.
All three monitors are hooked up through the DVI connection. here is the monitor I am using as well as the active display port adapter:

Monitor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824160047&Tpk=2236vw

Adapter: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814999034&cm_re=active_display_port_to_dvi-_-14-999-034-_-Product

I am blown away at the overall performance, I can run crysis 2 in eyefinity at the extreme setting with no real problems.

My issue is that in any game or even videos on you tube I get a horizontal bar running from the top of the monitor to the bottom. It is a small problem but none the less an issue. It seems to only happen on the DVI monitors but could be happening on the one with the adapter as well and I am just missing it. I have found plenty of people with the issue but no solutions. Does anyone have any insight to this problem?

I have tried enabling vsync in games and it does not seem to solve my issue. Maybe there is a catalyst option? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Wait, what exactly is going on with this bar? Is it like a scan thing, where the bar flashes down the video, or the entire screen? How long does this bar show up? Where at? Because when you say "horizontal bar running from the top of the monitor to the bottom" that could mean that the entire screen is black. Do you mean a vertical line?

Please explain the bar in more detail.

Te closest thing I can describe it to is screen tearing. It's scanning would be the closest to what you wrote. It only happens when something on the screen is movig. The bar goes across the screen but is actualy moving from top to bottom.
Side note I'm using catalyst 10.2
