Ya you're right, to hell with it..! I just redeemed my Witcher code anyway.. a small defect for an otherwise great card -

I'll try mounting the 970 in another system at a store to test it; but i m fairly confident it ll be useless. The card works so well i mean..no coil whine, dead silent, oc without a single noise or temp rise.. -

Indeed, Pcie 3.0 compatibility (slight) makes sense. This morning's cold boot didn't even detect the card, the bios was rendering in like 1024*768. I rebooted and it instantly gets perfect. -

Yes, 680 no issues at all. Getting into the bios no problem with 970. Default all settings changes nothing. -

The weird thing was the artifacts instead of the logo before Bios update. Now the black screen is specific to MB logo on cold boot (windows logo always shows). Well, with my old 680, the logo always shows up, cold boot or not.. so its a bit weird still, its slight; yet, i found an answer nowhere else so i think it s interesting to look into it. Btw : no quick boot, though i have ssd and i never unchecked the show logo in Uefi -
Hello guys, here's the issue : i just bought a 970 strix and mounted on my P67Sabertooth + 2500k. I encountered an issue during cold boot : artifacts instead of the motherboard logo. The bios hadn't been flashed since 2011 so i did and the problem went away. Only now, i have a new one; slight, but i don't know if it's an RMA motive or not: The motherboard logo still doesn't show on cold boot, i have black screen until windows 8 logo. To be noted: i still see one screen where it shows the Hdd/ssd detection before the usual motherboard logo. The video card in itself presents no issue when on windows/in game/benchmarks/temps. I have it occed to 1400mhz/7800memory clock with 68degrees max. No artifacts at all, all smooth.. 3d mark is at 10k (firestrike), valley extreme hd (2K9).. When i reboot, the logo comes back instantly. So.. i thought it might be a compatibility issue (slight). My rma period is short (5 days left) So, what are your thoughts on that cold boot weirdness?
