Yeah it does seem to be GPU related but I’m wondering if you actually have two issues – GPU issues with artifacting and everything as one, but also a compatibility issue between the mobo BIOS and the card. Since I don’t have the other issues you’re having and I believe we’re on the same BIOS version, it seems reasonable that the jumbled load screen might be fixable with a BIOS update and if so, that could be one less thing for you to troubleshoot :-D.

I’ll do my BIOS flash in a couple hours and let you know of it solves that issue.
