Hi guys,

I have the monitor (S27A750D) and graphic card (GTX 680) and it's connected with DVI.

I don't know what to do therefore I leave my problem to the experts.

Problem:

Random screen tearing + dead pixels walking around in a vertical line on the center of the monitor

Proof that I'm not crazy:

watch in 1080p full screen please (My brother helped with the arrows in order to better show the problem) I know it's far from perfect but still shows the issue.

What I've already tried but didn't work:

- Installed the BETA drivers (supposedly they solve the displayport issue so I gave it a shot).
- Changed the DVI cable from DVI-I port to DVI-D port
- My games settings and the monitor remain unchanged since my last graphic card (ATI 6970) and this problem never happened.
- Changed to 100hz / 60hz but the problem eventually appears again

Is this a drivers problem? Statistically speaking I think it's impossible to have a problem in both DVI connectors...

I actually did a video but I think I'm still to new to post URL or something

Its a bit hard to tell from video, but can you try with VSync enabled? To confirm that it is set make sure your FPS are capped to your monitors refresh rate.

vsync is enabled

 
What is your monitors refresh rate? Your FPS looked like VSync was not enabled.
 
Try also enabling VSync from NVIDIA control panel.

ok so it looks to be more constant with 120hz now that I also enabled vsync from the nvidia control panel.
 
The problem I explained on the first post is random (or at least I still didn't find any pattern) and I strongly believe it will happen again. You guys think I should buy a displayport cable and try to connect my card using that method?

The problem is striking again. Any ideas?

I've done some tests in furemark and it's a GPU problem. I get a lot of artifacts... I need to replace it :(
 
It's my first Nvidia plus first EVGA graphics card... quite an impression

Have you considered that there is a problem with your monitor?

Hmm, that video - it is hard to see the problem in it. I use exactly the same monitor and GTX 680. Is there a particular application where you are experiencing the problem with? I would do some testing on mine PC if that would help you. Please, let me know

 
Hi Presy, Thanks. I usually play World of Warcraft and the problem simply starts but it can also start when I'm on the desktop without doing anything.
 
I installed furmark and from the "burn in test" I see some artifacts in the upper edges of the fur circle can you test to see if you're also getting this? small white artifacts.
 
About my monitor... I was using ATI 6970 graphics card with zero problems. This only appeared after I connected my 680 so I'm staying with the monitor out of the equation.
 
I'm currently connected trough DVI with 120hz

hoserx

you said you changed the graphics card and the problems continued........ what did you mean then?

 
Sorry I didn't explained myself correctly. I went to the store and replaced the graphics card for a new one (same model - GTX 680) since I was under the impression my first 680 was faulty.

I'm desperate please help.
