when i launch a game i get a bunch of gray lines going across the screen for about a second or two, this also happens when I turn v sync on or off, I haven't noticed any frame rate loss though.
I've unistalled the drivers re-installed beta,latest, and older drivers to no avail, upon a reformat the problem went away for a day.

In a state of flux...
Get it RMAed ;)

XFX cards seem to have issues sometimes...i.e. 8800GT with too high clocks (like I had and replaced with a 9800GTX+ from eVGA)
