VGA Causing Wavy Horizontal Lines/Interference

[Kevin McCutcheon]

What would cause my VGA to cause horizontal wavy lines in games and dark areas on screen?

If I switch it out for a HDMI cable the lines disappear?

have you tried to run on HDMI ? and result

Yea the HDMI fixes the problem but I have dual monitors and the GPU only has one HDMI port. Is DVI Single Link better option than VGA?

 

[Someone Somewhere]

Definitely.

How do I know if the DVI is DVI-I or DVI-D and what would be the differences?

that is my monitors

DVI-D is digital. DVI-I is a connector that can be either digital or analog.

That screen will be DVI-D; your GPU probably has a DVI-I port and might have a DVI-D port too.

your monitor has DVI-D port which is good . .
