Wow sweet :D Ok then, I know what I must do, thanks!

Thanks for all the insight guys. Now to get a little bit off-topic: I've been looking for PSUs and got confused as to what to pick... What are all these?? ATX 12V V2.31 ATX 12V V2.31 EPS 12V V2.92 ATX12V EPS12V ATX12V V2.2 ATX12V V2.2 SSI EPS 12V V2.91 ATX12V V2.3 ATX12V V2.3 EPS 12V V2.92...

He's got an HD 6950 and a core i7 so I think it'll be fine. I doubt there's anything wrong with my new GeForce but you know, better safe than sorry. I was gonna do a full upgrade on my PC eventually. As you can see in my system specs, I kinda need it... Heeeeeere money money money! Moneyyyy...

From what I've seen when my problem appears on the screen, the words ripple and heavy current draw make perfect sense :P That does it. I'm testing the GPU on a friends computer just to be sure and then I'm ordering a brand new shinny PSU...

That's my monitor allright. Although I'm not sure what you're talking about. I'm not even sure if it is a monitor issue. On another forum they blamed my old cr@appy PSU and the tech support people blamed the 6-pin/8-pin converter... One even suggested the GeForce is faulty. I wish I had the...

I really can't try a dvi cable. I can try a different VGA through. I've actually spoken with a couple of tech guys and they concluded it's either a GPU power supply issue due to a 6-pin/8-pin converter I used OR there's something wrong with the GPU. It doesn't seem to be a monitor issue.

So to sum it up: Asus VK222 monitor and GeForce GTX 580 DO NOT like each other. Unless it is some other weird issue I cannot understand, It appears I do not have Vsync whatsoever even though it is forced on at all times.

Ok I've found how to create custom resolutions and refresh rates on Nvidia Control Panel. I've set up a 1680x1050 resolution at 59hz but still had problems. Before that the screen would severely tear up into hundreds of horizontal shivery parts. At 59hz the tearing looks just like when Vsync is...

Geef: I'm not sure if windows let me do that. I'll google it in case there's a workaround through nvidia control panel. Ko888: No can do. Monitor only provides VGA cable :(

I turn on Vsync on every game that has that option. I've even forced it on through Nvidia control panel. Nothing. What do you mean by "the numbers don't add up it's telling lies"?? It's a perfectly good 750w PSU...

I forgot some details that might help: The monitor is plugged on the GPU with a VGA cable and a DVI adapter. My resolution is set on my monitor's native 1680x1050 and the refresh rate is 60hz. Rest of my system specs MB Asus Stryker II Formula CPU Core 2duo 8400 3Ghz PSU Etasis ET750 RAM...

Since I got a GTX 580 my monitor (Asus VK222) started having problems. When I run something graphic intense, the screen starts shivering. Some say it is a Vsync issue but I'm sure this one's different. Looks more of a refresh rate thing. Please help me solve this, I can't play anything :(
