Odd green lines :/

Post by upton »

Hallo!

I recently reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled everything, and ever since I have had odd green lines appearing. This only appears when I play DaoC, and not any other game.
The lines can be seen here (That is taken from from print screen and pasted into paint, for some reason it has half game, half desktop.) Where you can clearly see the odd green lines
A normal DaoC screenie taken at the same time is here .

I have tried new graphics card drivers, updated direct x and installed the latest monitor drivers too.

gfx cards are: NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT [Display adapter] (2x) (SLI)
monitor is ViewSonic VX912 [Monitor]

Anyone had a similiar problem? Or knows how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

well if you get it with a print screen/screen grab it is definately a problem at the graphics card end as opposed to something to do with the monitor.

Best guess is that its either some bizare options in the graphics driver software, or more likely just buggy drivers (i noticed you were running an SLI rig, which is still a bit bleeding edge).

You can guess the response - latest drivers from your card manufacturer, and then from nvidia, check updated directx, check cards are sufficiently cool with plenty of ventilation around them etc etc.

Looks like some serious problem with your graphic card tbh...perhaps its broken? (yeah I did see the one without the lines...but still)

Suggest try running a single card to confirm that its the SLI config, swap between the two to confirm both cards havent any problems running singly
