    Artifacts on desktop ):

    Would there be any other way to potentially cure tiny blue little pixelations all over the desktop / sometimes in games (theyre nearly unnoticeable unless looking at the screen from about 6in away)?

    Or am I right and am I going to have to RMA my card

    Is it your card that's doing this or the actual monitor ? If you have a spare card laying around throw it in and see if you get same thing happening .

    Same thing happens when I swapped it with my 460....

    Its not the monitor, it works fine on another system. Motherboard you think?

    You sir are a gentleman and a scholar. It appears youre right. The cables were plugged in fine and everything before but switching them seems to have solved it.

    To think I was going to RMA either my board or gpu

    Thanks man

    That's why you start with baby steps on problem solving things . Rma should be the last an worse case scenario

    Well to be honest I'd set all settings to stock, reseated the gpu in every pcie slot, made sure the pcie connector was clean...etc

    Just wouldnt figure it was the monitor cable :P
