The problems do not affect cards fitted with Samsung memory but manufacturers who switched towards Micron chips are probably regretting it.

Overclocking Micron graphics memory on the card makes the problems appear fast with things like checkerboard patterns appearing. However some users have spotted the occasional flickering or graphical artifacts when using the default setting.

According to Guru3D most manufacturers are working on a BIOS firmware update for the graphics cards to increase voltage level of the GDDR5 memory.

EVGA, Gainward, and Palit have already issued updates. ASUS, Inno3D, KFA2/Galaxy, MSI, PNY and Zotac have not. Gigabyte did not use Micron memory.
