How to get rid of bars on screen.

I am torn if I should put this in the General Technical Issues area, but it seems to be less of an issue, and more of a question.

I have this green bar on the left side of my screen. It seems to increase (both up and down) starting from the middle of the screen when I am having any lagging issues, and decreases back toward the center when I am not. I've looked and looked and cannot find any command that will turn it off. Since it is across the left side of my screen, sometimes the bars partially cover my chat window, making chatting a pain. Here is a screen shot of what the bar looks like.

As you can see, it isn't game ending, but it is a pain in the bottom. If anyone knows of a way to turn these off, I'd appreciate the feedback.

P.S. In the preview, the link wouldn't work. However, if I typed the link in verbatum it did and does.

This is not an L2 thing... but it certainly looks like some graphics thing is putting it there. I would check with support.plaync.com and see if they have run across this before.

Also, the link works if you copy and paste it into a blank browser

That looks like the SLI load monitor you can enable in Nvidia graphics drivers. You should look for something like "Show GPU load balancing" in the Nvidia settings. Turn that off. I can't remember if it requires a reboot or not. The load monitor is only displayed in DirectX and OpenGL applications, so these bars will not show up in Windows.
