horizontal white lines when playing games

[dinosaurus]

i have horizontal white lines when playing games. doesn't happen when a game isn't open. I have tried using vsync and triple buffering and they make the lines not flicker as much, but they are still there and very noticeable and annoying. I do have a 60hz monitor, and my PC does run most games over 80+ fps at least.

does your computer have a dedicated graphics card? or just uses the cpu?

windows uses cpu for graphics, and most games will use your dedicated graphics. - check latest drivers are compatible with your version of windows. (though i hear that windows 10 creators does not work well with nvidia drivers).

deleted 2 of my other replies because i completely forgot that dedicated means like a external video card or well just a video card in total, yes i have an Asus ROG Strix GTX 1070 OC.

do you use the asus bundled software?
tried turning off everything?
i would rule out monitor issues if the cpu graphics display your desktop without fault. you have got a beefy psu right? an oc 1070 in an older i7 would probably need 600+ (*i am unfamiliar with your pc build and specific card).

your asus 1070 shoudl have its own driver and utilities program, if you have not installed it, then this could be your issue.

that didn't help, also i have a problem where any game that uses DirectX 10 or 11 crashes 5 or less minutes into the game. I have tried reinstalling drivers for that, it works but once i restart or install a program it seems like, it starts crashing again and i would need to reinstall drivers again. DirectX 9 works fine though.

i would suggest trying a windows repair/files checker, if theres an issue with direct x you could try reinstalling that too?

try creating a new post with the graphics issues tag to get the 1070 gpu gurus to spot your issue?
