Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I can confirm the issue is only happening when Hardware Acceleration is enabled. Once that is disabled the video plays fine, either in browser or a media players. (Tried both Chrome and PowerDVD).
I appreciate if you could tell me if its an issue with the graphics card at this point?
I tried to play the video in Windows 10 using both Windowd media player and VLC. The issue was gone in VLC, but WMP was same issue as browser playback.
Can I say it is not a hardware issue after this?
True, weird issue.
Not sure what to do. Tried on Linux with Chromium and it was fine. In Windows the issue continues unless hardware acceleration is off in browser!
Unfortunately, I don't have another Desktop PC to try the card with.
What should I write the reason when I do RMA, "faulty video decode block" as shintai mentioned above?
Thanks! Will try that and report back.
Luckily I still have 10 days left to do the RMA with retailer. The card was RMA'd due to the first one had heat issues and I received this "new" as replacement.
Not so happy with Zotac so far!
Actually, it is a YouTube. It happens almost on every video and different qualities (1080, 1440). Also, the issue happened on Facebook videos too. It does not happen during the whole video length, just for some parts and for few seconds.
