I installed my new graphics card (GTX 1080 DUKE 8GB OC) yesterday. I've encountered two issues, and sent support tickets to MSI. For both tickets they suggested an RMA, but I'm hoping the experts at this forum can provide me with alternatives to try before I go the route of returning the card.
Perhaps there is a setting, or software solution?
ISSUE # 1
I connected my desktop to my LG TV (model # LG 60UF7300) via HDMI. The picture would blink to black every 1-2 seconds for about a half a second, and there were flickering thin horizontal blue lines on the screen, mostly on the right side.
Before I installed the GTX 1080, I was using the NVidia GeForce GTX 760 2GB (MSI N760 Twin Frozr), and I could connect to my TV without any issue.
(I want to add that I tested this again this morning and initially it appeared fine/fixed, but when I went to tweak the text size the problems resurfaced.)
ISSUE # 2
My new graphics card is silent when I boot my computer, but when I start playing a game (Guild Wars 2 is what I tested) the fans kick into overdrive even though MSI Afterburner is telling me the GPU's temperature is not exceeding 40 degrees Celsius. (This product was advertised as: "Under 60 degrees, fans stop. Completely silent during idle, multimedia or light gaming.")
When I exit the game, and I'm just web browsing, the fans are still *LOUD*. They haven't slowed at all. Idle, I'm around 22 degrees, and yet it's still so loud.
Again, I formerly had the NVidia GeForce GTX 760 2GB (MSI N760 Twin Frozr). I ran Guild Wars 2 on max settings on that graphics card, and while my framerate was obviously much lower than on the 1080, it never made that level of noise. It was also dead silent when not running any games.
Note: I'm running the latest graphics drivers: 397.64.
So, is there anything I should try before returning the card?
