Vertical "flickering" problem!

[BigDannyO]

Hi everone!
I've just bought a new x700 256mb pci-e and am experiencing some difficulties!

It seems that in ANY 3d accelerated environment i get a vertical column of flickering/distorted image. It is only really noticeable at 1024x768, a little at 1280x1024, and not at all at 800x600!

The problem does not occur in any 2d environment, ie windows.

If i adjust the 'Phase' modifier on my flat screen monitor, i can move the column, from left to right, but i cant remove it.

Changing the refresh rate doesn't seem to make a difference, nor does enabling/disabling v-sync.

Here's my specs:
P4 3Ghz, 512mb DDR2, winXP SP2, Dx9c

The card is a dual DVI-out model, but i am using a DVI-VGA cable to connect the monitor, so i cant see this being a problem.

Is my new card stuffed?!! Any thoughts would be appreciated,

Cheers, Dan

You probably don't have VSNC on. Here is an explanation of VSYNC and what it does.

Thanks for the help, but i recevied an email from the tech support of the site i bought the card from, after i told them about the problem, and they told me to send the card back! They're gonna carry out some tests, guess they reckon the card is goosed.

Cheers anyway, Dan
