Poll: Do you currently suffer from Scrolling, Flickering Horizontal lines (especially with Radeon 9xxx)

[Wag]

I see this as a design flaw on ATI's part, as my 8500 has it bad.

Originally posted by: AznBoi36Don't you mean upping the resolution? Screen would only shrink when the resolution increased. I only hate upping the refresh rate because at a higher refresh rate the text on my screen tends to blur more. I like a refresh rate of 75hz compared to 85hz since at 75hz I get really sharp text. Than again it could be just my monitor...

No, I only changed the refresh rate. And maybe 'shrink' isn't the best way to describe it but image on my monitor becomes smaller.

Sounds like some setting is not set correctly, after I set my monitor property and display property to match they flickering went away. Don't blame the card maybe there something to be done on you, the consumers', part.

I had a somewhat similar problem to what you all are describing with my ATI All-in-Wonder Radeon 8500 128MB card. I was getting strange flickering and "swimming" the severity of which depended on the refresh rate being used (it seemed to be worst at 60Hz). No, I'm not talking about the standard flickering of a low refresh rate, because my monitor is an LCD flat panel.

After agonizing over this repeatedly and cursing ATI, a friend suggested trying a different VGA cable instead of the one supplied with my monitor. I swapped it out for a higher-quality (presumably better-shielded) cable, and my problems disappeared. So, it turns out the problem was not ATI after all, but rather just a crappy VGA cable.

I'm not sure if that fix will work for what you guys are experiencing, but it's worth a shot.
