This was posted on the nVidia forums as well. So I don't know if it's an artifacting issue or what, I mean I've experienced what an Artifact is. Anyways, upon opening any Flash using thing, lets take Pandora Radio for instance. The Firefox tabs get to looking pretty weird, they like "Ghost". See notes. As well as scrolling some webpages causes these lines almost like a weird sync issue. I thought it was my old monitor that was 10 years old so I bought a new monitor. I wish I could get a picture of this but unfortunately it's hard to screenshot. Hardware acceleration is disabled and Firefox is up to date. PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. I'm FULLY aware the GPU driver isn't up to date. I have updated it before and then some things looked weird. There was a game though that if I turned the AA settings up the screen would go black and white for the game. Probably irrelevant, I think it was Far Cry 4. Upon this writing I see there's another update for my GPU drivers, I'll consider updating as a second to last resort type thing. The card is less than 2 months old as well. Hope anyone has some ideas to my issue!

Have you tried using a different hdmi cable? Does the issue occur when using d-sub output? Does the issue go away when running the card in debug mode (#3)?

By D-Sub I assume you meant DVI. I've tried VGA to DVI as my monitor is VGA/HDMI. I tried 3 different HDMI cables. All different brands.

D-Sub is VGA. Try VGA without the DVI adapter.

A GTX 970 doesn't have VGA. Or atleast my specific one does not have that.

Right. My mistake. Do you have another adapter you can try?

You may want to try getting a dp to hdmi adapter so you can test the dp output on the gpu as well.

Best thing to probably do at this time would be to test the card in another computer to see if you can replicate the problem.

I have not seen your response to the to the suggestion with trying Debug Mode. Try that as you have an SSC model and the card has a manufacturer overclock. Later on (if you would like), you could try walking into Bestbuy and see if they will switch the card out for you. They "should" be able to. From my understanding they honor EVGA warranties.) Debug mode sets the GPU at regular reference clocks. We're trying to see if your card has a stable clock.

TIL I can't post links. Would this be ok? Also forgot to note debug mode did nothing. Card was purchased from Amazon. As for trying in another PC, I'll have to check out some stuff that I can do.

You don't have the required post count to successfully post links yet. Put spaces in the link for it to show up.

It was just a link to an HDMI to DP adapter from Amazon. Here's the pic that didn't post from the very first post. h ttp://imgur.com/SFcm1Eu

The issue may be software related. Have you tried creating a separate partition from your original and re-installing windows to rule out software problems?

I've been meaning to format anyways, guess this would be a reason to do so lol. Any other ideas? I wanna give the card to someone to test before I do anything further.

No need to reformat. You can just create another partition to install windows onto for testing. No other ideas at this time.

I could do that, I'll try once I find my Windows 8 DVD which is probably around here somewhere.

I put the card into my brother's rig and his flash works just fine and he installed the latest drivers. So I guess I'm going to format anyways. Not to say that'll fix the issue, his eye isn't as keen with the little details as mine is. Here's to hoping!

As it currently sits, I have Windows 8 fully updated, waiting on the 8.1 to finish. I didn't install any drivers, I let windows take care of that for now and have no issues so far.

Good to hear you found some resolution to your problem. It must have been some corrupted files or something. Happened to me recently with windows 10. It happens.

I'm not sure entirely what caused it, currently on Windows 8.1 finishing it's updates. So far I see no flash issues nor any scrolling issues. Now to reinstall a lot of my stuff.

Windows 8.1 fully updated with most of my system stuff installed and no issues. :) I'm gonna go ahead and not install the updated nvidia stuff just to be on the safe side lol. Actually, Gonna make an image of this drive right now.

It is advisable to download the "NVidia stuff", but would be worth while to avoid the Geforce Experience. WHen you download the updates, it will give you an option to select Express install, or custom install. Select custom install. If you have 3d vision, then go ahead and install those. If you don't, then just deselect the 3d vision software, and deselect the Geforce Experience. If you do not use the audio from the GPU, then you can deselect that too, and just have the Physics driver selected.

So basically, just the driver and the physX driver? The rest look like audio related things. Apparently windows installed a 3D driver too. lol.

You can safely remove those if you'd like, if you do not have 3D vision glasses or even use it. So, yes basically just the driver and PhysX driver, and you should be ready to rock.

I don't want to confuse you, but I personally have Geforce Experience installed, but I do not use it to optimize my games with. I use the Nvidia Control Panel to do that, and manually set my graphics within game. I use Geforce Experience to only remind me when a new driver is available. It makes things easier that way.
