x1900xt problems with non dvi monitors

[Hussman]

Hi,

I've recently purchased a HIS 1900Xt mastercard.

When running my Dell 2405 (via dvi) I have a perfect picture.

However, if I attempt to add a second monitor once I enable it via settings, the display works, but has a number of darker horizonal lines which kind of flicker on it.

They are hard to see on dark backgrounds, but clearly visible on lighter ones.

I thought it was the monitor, but have tried a different monitor and still get the same effect.

Both of the tfts I tried only have non-dvi input? Is this the problem or something else?

Many thanks

I cant believe that its anything particular to input to vga ( unless its the particular cable or dvi-vga converter you are using) did you use different cables with each monitor or a different converter ( as I am guessing card is dual dvi)

It was the convertor.


Thanks for the suggestion.

All fixed now!

Great!
