My card has been working superbly since July, but suddenly it started artifacting and glitching out of the blue. First during gameplay, and then just during web browsing. Weird multicolored bands of digitized squares. Haven't changed a single thing in my set-up and I have great case air-flow and a cool ambient temp in my man-cave which is in a basement and is always nice and cool. Tried the latest and even the last four drivers, making sure to remove all remnants of the old drivers with DDU, but it still does it. It's intermittent, may go for hours without doing it, and then it just pops up, whether surfing on Chrome, or IE/Edge, or gaming it does it. In fact it seemed like it was getting worse and more frequent. Doesn't seen to matter if the card is being stressed or not. And I keep a decent fan profile, with my fans running at 30% at idle and ramping up from there as needed.
Bummer, my card was working so perfectly too, all the while I was reading posts about everyone else's problem thinking I must have been lucky and got a good card.
I did a cross-ship and EVGA support was very helpful. He said it sounded like a VRAM issue to him. I just hope they update the BIOS, and add BOTH the VRM pads and the VRAM pads. I RMA'ed right when they started adding the memory pads so I'm worried I might have missed those. Can any of the EVGA guys here check and see if I'm getting "the works" so I don't have to mess with anything.
