asus Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 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?

gebraset Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your memory factory overclocked, or do you have it clocked higher than stock settings were when you got the card? Nope.. everything is stock. 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxHellxRaizerxX Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 I think Ediseye might be onto something. You might have faulty memory or something. Might be worth an RMA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
asus Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Can you post up a short video of what it is doing to further clarify? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IVIYTH0S Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 I dont have a video camera.. but here is a crop.. this may give you a better idea.. and I get lines on the screen as well. oh ok, I see it now. Yeah I'd try overclocking to the memory to see if it gets worse, or underclocking the memory and seeing if it gets better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxHellxRaizerxX Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
