Question Screen glitch on startup with 3070 Ti ?

[Sliver02]

Hi all,

I have bought a 3070 Ti some months ago, it is working like a charm expect for a really annoying thing it does on start up that I can't manage to resolve permanently.
Basically it start glitching from the boot screen of the motherboard, keep rendering square blob of noise displacing the actual image.

I can temporarly fix this only when windows is booted up, on my monitor (ASUS PB277Q27'' WQHD) i go to: system setup -> display port stream
yet again selecting the DPI 1.2 option (already active mind you) and this stops the glitch, otherwise it is permanent.
This solution doesn't apply to the BIOS and the boot screen, there the glitch is permanent.

I am tired of repeting this mondane operation, caused by a 6 hundred eur graphics card none the less.
Any suggestions/ideas to why is this happening?

Re-installed the drivers a dozen times. Just today formatted the whole PC and started from scratch with a new SSD but nothing changes.
I thought about the dpi cable maybe, but it dosen't make sense, it shoudn't work when I refresh the settings to 1.2

system spec:
monitor: ASUS PB277Q27'' WQHD
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
OS: Windows 11
MOBO: MSI B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC

GPU firmware could not be updated

Unfortunately it seems to not work, it give this error. Below in the supported lists there are no series 30s mentioned.

is your gpu from nvidia and not from other aib vendors like msi?

Can you show a photo of the graphical artifact?

Does it appear, if you connect monitor with HDMI cable instead?
Try with a different DisplayPort cable.

Gigabyte has six cards with 3070ti chip

click your model from this selection, then go to support page, scroll down and download firmware, its a zip file, decompress it and run executable file

If you decide on doing vBIOS update, then make sure to make backup of current vBIOS first.
Improper vBIOS flash can brick your card.

it is difficult to capture it in a screenshot, it is a constant 1 frame flickering of the actual image on the display. As said when I select again the 1.2 option in the monitor menu it goes away.

Yes I can use a hdmi to go around it, but I would rather fix the problem, and yes I tried with other cables but the problem persists.

first picture screen shows incorect panel timings used by gpu, displayid firmware from nvidia would resolve that...but gigabyte probably hasnt updated it yet, vbios date from gigabyte is 04/2022, while nvidia displayid is 08/2022

contact gigabyte if they working on update

workaround:
-Boot using HDMI
-Boot using a different monitor
-Change boot mode from UEFI to Legacy (but keep storage as UEFI)
-Boot using an alternate graphics source (secondary or integrated graphics card)

Updated the firmware, as you suggested @kerberos_20 Gigabyte didn't fix the problem yet. I opened a ticket about the issue, thanks for the support guys
