radeon 64 mb sdr with games

[pstj]

Hi ! I just installed a new vid card (radeon 64 mb sdr), installed the latest drivers, and I tried it with a few games. This is my first 3d accelerator card, and man! I'm wondering how I could play before. A 3d accel card is a must ! (I know, you all know that). Just have a question though. the following phenomenon never happens in windows, but happens in games. When I am playing, the image will have almost imperceptible and rapidly moving lines.(I see them only when I am at 30 cm (1 feet) or closers to the screen). The lines are vertical, moving fast vertically, and are not very disturbing, but I was wondering if it was normal, and if it could be fixed. I know my description is not very accurate, but that is the best I can think of.

Thanks

G,day Pstj, Curious about your monitor and resolution? And should you be
viewing it so close?, out of your own curiosity I assume.! Can you
supply some more details.?
Regards Pot..

Hi Pot,

my monitor is a 17 inches and the resolution is set to 1024x768, which is the normal rez for a 17". The refresh rate is set at optimal (for this rez, its 85 hertzs). As for why I was only at 30 centimeters of my screen, I was looking to see if there was something different (I was just curious to see the level od detail). I did some tests, though, and I have discovered that the better the graphics, the more visible the "lines" (the vertical distortion). Any idea ?

Someone told me that if my modem was close to my vid card, it could be the reason for the interferences. Is this right ? My modem is actually in the PCI slot nearest to the AGP slot. Could this be the problem?

thanks

ok, so I've just changed the modem from pci slots, and it was not the problem...
