gtx 780 issue

[Harry Pickel]

hi I don't know if this is an issue of what.... I have a new gtx 780 and whenever I play a game I see very very little lines scrolling up the screen. my monitor is a viewsonic VG1930wm and I am wondering if I got a bad video card or is it my monitor.... this is my first gaming pc so idk it might be what every gaming pc does

It most likely could be ur monitor, its really old

 

[Harry Pickel]

Do you think that it could be a bad graphics card

 

[M0j0jojo]

It could also be that, but there only one way of figuring out the root cause of the issue. Try to switch out the monitor with newer ones on the market.

 

[Harry Pickel]

It is hooked up through VGA so idk if I get a Dvi cable will that help

 

[M0j0jojo]

You should try that first yes.

Okay but if that doesn't work will I be able to send the gpu back to evga and get a new one

 

[Harry Pickel]

The lines on the screen only appear when I'm playing a game

Yes if it all those options don't work, ur going to have to RMA the graphics card, which takes a week or two before they send either the same card fixed or a brand new one.

It worked it is just my monitor because when I plugged my computer into my tv they didn't appear
