I just bought a new GIGABYTE GV-R928XOC-3GD REV2 Radeon R9 280X 3GB and when i tried to benchmark it i get these screen bouncing/shaking errors with the 3DMark Physics tests. It works fine with the other tests, but as soon as it hits any physics test the issue happens. I'm not sure what this is called to even troubleshoot it.

I updated to newest drivers from AMD, I made sure the card was docked properly to the MOBO. I have no problem doing an return, i just want to make sure its the card itself and not anything else. Not sure what else to do to fix it though.

Video for reference.

OK i figured it out in case anyone has a similar problem. It was the fact that i was using 2 monitors to run the test. Which is weird because my old 7850 ran the test with 2 monitors fine. (with obvious FPS loss) Disconnected a monitor and the screen was back to normal. Now i have to see if its the card that has issues with 2 monitors or the hdmi cables i was using. Hope this helps anyone with the same issue.
