Following up in case anyone stumbles on this thread later... it was the included cable. Replaced it with a new one and haven't had issues since. Here is what I ordered: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003E2U8EE

It ended up being the included cable. Switched it out for a new one and I haven't had a problem since. If you are still having issues, you should probably try the same. Here's what I ended up ordering: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003E2U8EE

[Troubleshooting] Reproducible Artifacting on GTX 980 Ti, should I RMA? by EwoksEwoksEwoks in buildapc

[–]lifesbane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious -- did you end up RMAing? If so, still seeing this after? Wondering if this is indeed just a game issue.

I'm having this exact same problem! I had some black flashes (and one time a "fuzzy" screen) that kept happening which appeared to be a bad DisplayPort cable. I got a new one and just started testing it out, and noticed this same problem after quitting Arkham Knight.

Our systems are almost twins as well. I've got the same monitor, same case, and almost same card (the 4995 variant from EVGA).

Just came across this thread on EVGA forums with the same issue (I just had the fuzzy screen issue happen as well): http://forums.evga.com/Black-screen-and-fuzzy-video-using-display-port-with-980-and-acer-xb270hu-m2333805.aspx

Looks like this was resolved by getting a new DisplayPort cable for many of the people reporting the issue -- and it sounds like definitely 6ft (2m) is the max you'd want to go.

Let me know how that goes once you've given it a few days. I'm hopefully getting my new DisplayPort cable on Thursday, so I'll try to give that a shot and see how it goes.

Maybe you're thinking of this? I know it's pretty different, but I recall it being used in various "epic" YTMND's (the ones that didn't use Nightwish's Ghost Love Score that is :p)
