Need a new gfx card

[Hitman]

VGA is crap, use DVI. With VGA you can get interference and other bad stuff (e.g crap cables can affect quality) since its an analogue signal. DVI is digital and unless there is physical damage or a lose connection you should not have any problems even over long distances (e.g 10m+).

OK, thanks. My monitor only has a VGA port, but my gfx card has a DVI port... I assume I'd need an adapter and a DVI cable?

Would I need something like this? Or would this work?

Cheers

No point.

Just try a different VGA cable if you have one.

I do remember in the other thread I made, people said there's no point... but I was reading a post on a blog somewhere, saying it depends on different monitors (as to if it's better or not).

I'll try the other VGA cable - if it doesn't clear up the faint line then I'll have to find another option...

There must be a reason for these lines... it's like a 1px shadow behind certain images, it's weird.

can't edit ^

Not got another VG cable damnit. The one I use from my laptop to some big old monitor is integrated into the monitor lol.

I *think* that I've fixed the problem... I decided to mess around with the monitors settings, like the buttons on the actual monitor. There was an option, under manual image ajudst called "Fine Tune". I set it to 100 and now the weird ling thing has gone... I think anyway, I can't see it.

I dunno what the fine tune option does exactly...

mmm maybe not... it makes the line very faint, but it's still there. I think it's the VGA adapter messing with it or something..
