Hi all,
I've been having trouble with my Gigabyte GV-R587UD-1GD. I already tested it in all possible ways (even in a different computer) and recently send it back to the shop for RMA. Yesterday I received the replacement card and guess what... It still has the same problems...
I would like it very much if some more Gigabyte GV-R587UD-1GD owners could test their card to see if they have the same problem...
How to test for issue nr1 (easiest)
* Attach 2 displays to your Gigabyte GV-R587UD-1GD (I have a Dell U2410 on DVI and a Panasonic Plasma on HDMI)
* Play a Flash video in a browser with "Hardware Acceleration" enabled (full screen seems best for triggering the issue)
* Within a few minutes, your displays will start showing a corrupted image
* The corruptions usually goes away when closing your browser
* If you keep on playing the video, your computer may freeze after awhile
and there you have problem nr1, this one is the easiest to trigger
How to test for issue nr2
* Attach 2 displays to your Gigabyte GV-R587UD-1GD (I have a Dell U2410 on DVI and a Panasonic Plasma on HDMI)
* Run a 3D stressing application (I found Furmark and especially Starcraft 2 good apps for this)
* If nothing happens after 30-60mins, close the app and switch your displays to another combination of ports and try again
* When the issue occurs, your display will show a corrupted image (a little different from issue nr1). The image corruption will usually stay, even after closing the application. Rebooting solves it. Sometimes your computer may also freeze.
Issue nr2 is a bit harder to trigger. I haven't been able to find a way to trigger it all the time.
It is related to what display is attached where. It happens a lot faster when 2 displays are attached, but with my RMAd videocard I even had the issue with only 1 display attached after awhile (it seemed to get worse after awhile).
Some day, one combination will work ok, while the next day it doesn't...
With my new videocard I have only been able to trigger this issue once (yesterday night- again event 4101), but today I have tried several hours without "luck"... I'm afraid though that it will get worse again after awhile...
