ok running into problems now

my game seems to freeze when i play high performance games such as avatar and crysis and i dont think its a heat problem ive had the fans up to 100% and it crashed still.

any suggestions?

oh and i get around 60-55 degrees on idle with fans set to normal

ive tryed installing a older driver also.

see when you installing drivers do you have to unistall
nvidea stereoscopic 3D driver
and physx driver?

or just the nvidea drivers one (i only did that one)

should i try wiping hard disk and starting fresh?

I would suggest you get something like Driver Cleaner (http://www.drivercleaner.net/) and use that to remove all your old drivers before installing new ones.

You can have problems if you just overwrite old drivers with new ones.


I know its costs to get it but I personally think its worth having in your software arsenal. It's only £6.

yeah im using driver sweeper for that dunno if its same thing but its free

things went from bad to worse unfortuantly

ever sence i downloaded the old driver a weird noise came from graphic card when i loaded up crysis
i thought it was just old driver but now installed new one and its makng that noise still and its crashing before i can even hit play game in crysis grr

Oh dear. Still got your receipt? I reckon it's a send back job.

im going to try that tomoro.

i think i know the problem tho, i think it doesnt like direct x 10 very much and thats why it keeps crashing.

dunno how to change it to direct x 9 in crysis but going to test it in avatar with direct x 9

you shouldn't have to be setting it to DX9 though, should you. The card should be performing well in DX10. I would be sending it back for a full refund and maybe save up a wee bit more for a newer gen card.

yeah i think ill try that tomoro col, hope they wont be bastards about it, because i bought it on ebay.

i also registerd on the PNY website and thats suppose to give you like 2 years warranty or something

but just tested it on direct x 9 on avartar and it works fine, but still going to call up tomoro

If its a retail outlet using ebay to sell products then you should be able to send it back as faulty and ask for a full refund.

I told ya

Ste got it in teh post first and borked it for you KD

Na ste would of bought a gtx275 and not of had a problem with old tec the 2 gpu cards always have a prob with nvidia

shush you ste

well its looking good atm he is just asking me some questions like power supply ect but wont know if he will give me refund untill tomoro, but not looking bad atm.

Spoke and pld with KD tonight he says his new card is mint (Who,s the man)

well still hoping to send it back :P

just been on crysis with no crashing hehe

ste told me to try turning the setting to enable 1 gpu not 2 in nvidea control panel and it now works with direct x10 games, so atleast im not completely buggered if i cant send it back

he will not be beaten !!Dr hybrid ftw !!!!!!!

yey will be sending it back tomoro

do you get a hissing/whistling noise? I used to have very similar issues and it was more just to do with monitor refresh rates setting incorrectly in game.

Make sure you are getting 60Hz and not 59Hz in Nvidia control panel... let me know if that fixes it.

read above mate your to slow with google this time

huh? I didn't google anything... and can't see anyone else mentioning what I said... you have confused me...

p.s I don't feckin google my responses. I only do that when I am stuck.

its not really a hissing noise with this card its more of a scary please dont die on me sound but not been like that sence i changed to 1 gpu.

but i did get a hissing noise on my old graphics card so must check that out

hissing noise ftw

KD this might be worth a try

9800 gx2 single card

1. Download nHancer 2.5.7.
2. Create a new profile in nHancer, Select the executable of the DVD program in nHancer, set the SLI rendering mode to single GPU.
3. Select "This profile can be activated manually"
4. Activate the profile through the nHancer taskbar icon whenever you want to watch a DVD

There is no sli mode for single card there is dual gpu mode and that is what I'm running on my 295

Multi-GPU mode = SLI. The rendering mode (AFR/AFR2/SFR) can also be changed around just like a normal SLI setup.

Just read this on Extremen overclocking forum

unfortuantly ive already sent it away tony
