My new 5870 video card tents to display lots of blue dots when playing a blu ray, or any type of video or sometimes just randomly on the desktop or anything with dark color. I am using windows 7 x64 and the latest drivers. I have an intel core i7 with no o/c. Ive installed the beta drivers, no love (back to the current release drivers). I have a image that may help. BTW the blue dots kinda flash on and off. This is with anything.. except games.. or maybe I just dont notice it. Ive installed and uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers.. Any ideas?

I could be wrong, but it looks to me like a VRAM issue. Is your memory factory overclocked, or do you have it clocked higher than stock settings were when you got the card?

I havent touched a thing in terms of overclocking ect.. Did this right out of the box. It fades in and out, sometimes it does it A LOT sometimes not so much. I may return it to newegg and get something else unless drivers come out and fix this... -------------------- EVGA E758, Intel Core i7 Quad 2.66 @ 3.8Ghz, 12 Gb OCZ Platinum DDR3 RAM, 2 x 1Tb Hd, 30in Dell Screen /w BlueRay

I think Ediseye might be onto something. You might have faulty memory or something. Might be worth an RMA

I wonder, maybe I should push the card a little bit. Do and O/C see if it gets worse. I would suspect if its a VRAM issue, it would get worse if I pushed the card.

Those blue spots you see, the flash on and off.. it kinda looks like the tv static but not as much, and only in dark areas.. and its BLUE! YUCK.

Well I guess if it's not doing it in games then you memory may be fine. You should double check and see if it does or not. Either way it's probably a hardware issue. If it were drivers I'm sure it would be a more widespread issue.
