The subject is this: I recently bought a video card (used) ATI/AMD HD 7970, this videocard has no VGA connector and I am currently using a CRT monitor 17 '', to connect this monitor I had to use a DVI-to-VGA adapter, but doing this I see interference (as if they were scanlines but minimal), it's quite annoying and I wonder if there is any way to eliminate this interference.
Before I had an ATI HD 5670 and I never had this problem (that videocard came with VGA connector)
Thank you very much!

Re: DVI-to-VGA adapter -----> Interference
I am using the latest drivers, I will try to do what the video says, but the last drivers changed everything, I do not know if I will find the same options that the video indicates.
I will also read carefully the comments, I hope to find a solution, since not only in windows I have this problem, where I notice it more is when I enter the BIOS.
I also always have the Aero deactivated.

Re: DVI-to-VGA adapter -----> Interference
then try to turn it up ... i mean Aero , yeah i know it steals like from 4 to 8 mb of ram (or even 40mb if you have too many icons .. I use the Menu bar Quick Icons to lover the memory intake)... but the GDI desktop is awful in Win7 and Win 10 ... also without Aero i have lag and strange flickers when watching movies

I have already enabled Aero, but I do not see any difference 
The theme I always use is "Windows 7 Basic" not "Windows Classic".
