video card problem

tweakmonkey · 07-14-2006, 05:13 PM

Drivers up to date? Is the card overheating perhaps? What kind of video card is it?

hans5849 · 07-14-2006, 05:24 PM

might be RMA time

6800 xt.. i bought it yesterday, i do think it is overheating, heres a shot of my case... yes its a coffin, absoloutly no airflow.

My leadtech did that....turned out the program that came with it (winfox) was fucked up and kept dropping my core and mem clocks to hardly anything. I uninstalled that POS program and all's well at mistawiskas's house.

Scooby · 07-14-2006, 09:43 PM

funkgab · 07-14-2006, 10:59 PM

sony vaio psu, doesnt even say any specs, i think its a 350 watt, but minimum for card says 500w so =/

mistawiskas · 07-15-2006, 02:39 AM

I would venture to say that your psu may be suspect, either directly or indirectly. can you try that card out in another machine?

funkgab · 07-15-2006, 02:29 PM

i could, but whats the point then? i know its the psu

mistawiskas · 07-15-2006, 07:23 PM

PSU = cheaper than vid card. I'm amazed how cheap good psu's are now.
