NVIDIA GTX 670 wavy lines bottom of screen

[DreadedR]

Hi all, I'm a hardcore BF player and I'm getting these weird clear wavy lines at the bottom quarter of the screen. My screen is a BENQ xl2411t. Have done research and cannot find solutions for this. Any ideas? Thanks.

EDIT: I also have a LG 27EA33 (60hz) set up as second monitor.

do those line show up on the 2nd monitor?

have you tried a different video cable?

Disconnect the BENQ monitor and see if they still appear on the LG monitor.

It could be your monitor, if it happens on both monitors it's probably your GPU then.

If it only happens on the BENQ then there is something wrong with the BENQ.

Yes just tried it, same on second monitor.

I'm starting to think it's my GPU.

ok. so the lines show up on the 2nd monitor and you used a different video cable... that makes it a gpu issue. First make sure it's not a driver issue by uninstalling your drivers, reboot your pc, and install the latest nvidia whql release. if the issue persists then i'd say it's the hardware and you have a dying card on your hands.

I just switched over to the other monitor (LG) and lines r still there.

Looking like problem with my GPIU

My friend had that problem the only thing we did is that we switched it from vga cable to full dvi cable without converting it and then the problem dissapeared if so try it with dvi or hdmi or something..just other type of cable

Sorry if this is too late, I recently had this problem too (though not to the same extent as you). I'd get the lines only on certain application, generally games set to high video settings so this might not work for you specifically, worth a shot anyway if you haven't fixed it.

Run the GeForce experience make sure all the settings are what you want firstly (ensure your resolution is native to your monitor is the only thing you should worry about too much). Once you've done this run Battefield and ensure your vsync is enabled (double or triple doesn't matter), mess around with shader settings a little if this doesn't fix it. I ended up upgrading the shader settings and turning on vsync and it fixed the whole problem. Hope it helps!
