I know you are saying its a driver issue, but that sounds like a classic example of a bad or loose cable.

That sounds like a bad card to me if everything is screwed in.

I'm trying to Co tact the place I orderd my monitor from ud think after dropping 750 bones they would send u a new cable but nahh they just said contact the manufacture.. oh my are they gonna get an earful if I have to call and waste my 50 min I get a month on this lpl

Well I mean it is probably just HDMI or DisplayPort. You can get those anywhere for literally a couple of dollars...

I wouldn't wait on you getting the cable from the people who made the monitor...

Tell me aboot it

I'll go out side and grab one lol I'll see if it is in face of display port cable

Would I be able to tell if I hook a hdmi up 2 it?

If the monitor has HDMI yeah you could hook it up. If it works over HDMI then your issue is the DP cable. If it doesn't work over HDMI then it looks like you have got a bad card. Which happens from time to time.

The artifacting you're describing doesn't really sound like a drive issue to me. Seems like a cable or GPU hardware related.

So try with an HDMI cable and report back.

Ok I'll give it a shot in a few and get back to u

To avoid leaving the house I just orderd a dis play port coord from amazon should be here next week till then I'll play around with hdmi and the current one... I'm pretty sure it's not my card it worked fine for a whole day then I unhooked the monitor onto a stand an that's where it went all fucky so I'm pretty sure I forgot to push the button and yanked it out
