So i own this XFX 7970 video card. I recently just bought 2 of these display port cables. I seem to be getting a lot of artifacting since i changed over to these. Artifacts even show up on the desktop. Simple things like a window being distorted or a button mirrored above it self.
Previously i was running with the HDMI port and DVI to HDMI adaptor to each of my dell U2410s (1920x1200). Never had artifacting in this setup. I did have one of my monitors just blink black for a second or two, but that didn't happen very often. Haven't had the monitor blink at all since I started using the Display Port cable, just the arifacting. I had to change my configuration when i bought my Seiki 50" 4k TV which needed the HDMI port to push 4K.
Is my video card the problem or do you think those are too cheap of cables? Thinking about ordering better Display Port cables. Also the artifacting happens even when i have the 50" TV disconnected from the video card.
