I've been using my graphics card (6600 GT) for a few months now and during this time I did overclock the card for a few hours. This was merely a test to see if things would run any better, but the difference was hardly noticable.
My graphics card is now at stock clock settings.
However, when playing games I do get flickering horizontal lines on some occasions which run directly in the middle of the screen but appear more obvious nearer the ends.
I have read this could be a result of overclocking but I did return the card back to stock settings. I can't remember getting lines like this before either.
Have I damaged my card or something? What can I do to stop this? Or is this all quite normal?
Thanks in advance.

No probs mate!
I am stupid. Thats pretty easy math. 'Refresh' rate and all that. I should of thought of it sooner.
I stuck it up to 70 and it appears the lines have gone! Thanks.
That vsync was already on.

I think (correct me if I'm wrong) if it's higher it can sometimes reducuce the flickering because it runs at a higher refresh rate.
Yeah they are clear. Must be the V-Sync thing, I'll search it in a sec. Thanks.
Whats the deal with refresh rate? I always keep it at 60 as I thought anything higher wouldn't perform as good.

It could be the V-sync thing which only appear in certain games. Try your refresh rate at 70hz. Also are these lines colours like blue/red/white or clear? If they are clear it's likely to be the v-sync thing.
Do you have an LCD monitor? If so, you might need to turn V-sync on. I don't know how to do this with NVidia cards, but a Google search should suffice.
