going across all 3 screens?

if it's just 1 of them then switch the monitor sockets around and see if the line appears in the same possition on the monitor you have just replaced it with, maybe it's just 1 monitor at fault, if the line is going across all 3 then the fault lies in your Gcard and you need to send it back

It could be a graphics driver issue, have you tried updating or rolling back to a previous version? If you've swapped the screens around to rule out a faulty screen, then drivers are probably the cause. It's also possible your graphics card is faulty, especially if it's tearing and artifacting just by pulling windows around the desktop.

Does this happen when the pc is busy with other tasks or just randomly? What's the spec of the rest of the pc?

the tearing happens all the time with windows buh only when i shoot in games and i have a amd 1090t
asus iv
850w psu
the 6870 has had a update and it was the same in both ver
il try reinstalling the drive for the monitors cus i did it when i got the 1st 1 buh havnt updated since then.

if your system clock is the wrong date set then it will say your driver is out of date as will be the case when updating anything in your machine
