Horizontal scanlines

[Raist]

If you can only get Analogue signal to work, then there is something wrong with your hardware. The fact it cleared up briefly when a cable was changed is a usually a pretty good indicator as well. May need to try it with a different monitor if you can, just to rule that out.

Something else you could try I guess... you said you were running 1080p at 60hz. Have you tried to override the refresh just a tad, like 59hz, or maybe running an interlaced refresh rate--just to see if the pattern changes? This may apply somewhat towards answering your last question:

Then why am I ONLY getting scanlines with FF14 and can run everything else flawless? Seems like a game issue to me. If you have anything to prove me wrong and help me fix this, all ears. Otherwise, might I suggest leaving the moderating to the real moderators?

Did you make sure your power supply was sufficient to run the card at full throttle? XIV hammers the piss out of all of your PC's subsystems at once, so much more so than most any other game on the market that are much more optimized. If your PSU is just on the cusp of not providing enough power for the GPU while the system is under heavy loads, you can experience all kinds of odd behavior---a slightly out of phase refresh might be one such side effect.

I don't need to prove you wrong, you need to prove the issue is in the game.

The fact nobody else is confirming your experience is proof enough that it is not the game.

Google it. You can prove me wrong or you can prove the many people wrong who said they had the problem with DVI and that HDMI fixes it and, again, only this game.

And I know you're not technical-minded and aiming at a moderator job because didn't you ask me to provide a screenshot before? Like it actually takes what a monitor shows? Please leave the moderating to the mods and the technical talk to the technicians. I can very easily prove it to you. Google can very easily prove it to you. Fact is I'm here for answers and not for an unemployed volunteer providing false facts. Unless you have something to prove me, and the people who recommend third party programs on these very forums, wrong.

I have one rule in life: Never take someone who uses numbers in their name seriously.

I actually have two monitors of different types and same resolution. I bought a new monitor thinking that was the issue. I was considering lowering the refresh rate to 59hz but didn't think it'd really help especially with V-Sync not preventing the issue. My PSU is currently a Corsair 650. I'm considering buying a 1000 as I suspected the PSU might have been a factor too. I'm also looking to reinstall Windows when Windows 10 comes out to give my computer a complete purge of anything that may be causing any other issues.

People are theorising that when DX11 is released for this game, the scanlines will be gone.
