Is it my my monitor or Graphics card thats causing this problem ?

[jolie77]

Bought a B grade 30" from OCUK and a second hand 4870x2 from some one on another forum. Just installed drivers for my GC and when I selected full resolution for my 30" I get this green tinge effect all over my screen, Its kinder like the matrix thing at the start of the films.

I have hooked my GC up to my LCD TV and the picture is fine, so I guess that means the problem is caused by my monitor.

Any help is appreciated as I have no idea if the screen is R.I.P

sorry for wrong forum. I am just using a DVI cable not sure if its dual link. why is that important ?

Are you using a dual-link DVI connector? Does the monitor work properly at lower resolutions (try 1280*800 as this should be 1/2 the native resolution).

Also, you should really have posted in the monitors forum.

1280*800 fixed the problem does that mean I need to buy a better DVI cable ?, no cable was provided with it
