View Full Version : Installed SH5 and graphic card died :(
Just got it up and running and patched...then my card died.
It guess the stress of a subsim was too much for it.
It will be OK though - I was planning for a new one anyway

What board was it, Jon?
MSI 8800GTS 320Mb...noisy as hell. I have seen the errors refered to in other forums - died because of heat
MSI 8800GTS 320Mb...
Ah, good riddance then. Changed mine to 9800GTX some months ago. :salute:
Yeah...going for either ATI 4890 or 5750

My computer has some heating problems due bad case/fans/airflow/etc, I could run COD4, CODMW2, SH3, ArmA and ArmA 2 okay but SH4 and more so SH5 will cause heating problems when I really get into a graphics fest on the seas.
Not that its any way fault of SH engines, I just thought to mention it.
AMD X2 7750, 2gb ram, ATI Radeon HD 4850.

Hey! I strongly advice you to fork out the extra money for a 5850, if possible. I know you like doing videos and the extra hp will be handy.

Did you have the new 196.75 Nvidia drivers installed because they have been frying some PC's by causing the fan on the graphics to stop.

I got the newest one yesterday, so its not that one. Besides I would know if the fan stopped - its really loud!!
nice benchmark site posted in other thread.

There do seem to be a HUGE gap between the 5750 and the 5850, but its also twice the price ;)

Nothing gets my cooling going like Arma 2. Nothing. It runs up all the cores; I actually changed my system case as the CPU fan was stabilising the temperature but was evidently not enjoying the workload.

If you want something in-between, there's 5770 which I plan to get.

Got a 5770. Fantastic card for the price, (about $150) Runs everything in game maxed out, including shadows.

I have the same Dowly and SH5 makes the cooling fan spin like mad! :yep:
Which producer of the 5770 would you recommend?
I want a card that does not make too much noise :)
Gigabyte, Sapphire etc?
One of the Asus will do just fine.Thanks...will check reviews :D
Any other suggestions?

I only can tell everybody at least one time in year build out your card, open it and clean the cooling channels. Is not enough to only clean the fan, you really must open it to get acsess to the whole cooling block and clean it.
Same for your notebook. A friend of me call me the laptop of his wife is became slow....I was wonder why the keyboard is so warm and after download "coretemp" the dual-core was idling at 90C :doh:
After open it and take the fan out there was so much dust, hair and other rubish stuck between fan and cooling block....
...my grandma kniters a Pullover out it for me ;)
Tne Notebook now is idling at 48C Coretemp....

Good point
I had glitches with another card, but got it cleaned in time.
This time it looks like some parts got damaged :(

Hi,
if you have one of the 9xxx series Nvidia chip cards, beware of the latest x75 drivers ! May melt your graphic card, this patch or driver version has been therefore withdrawn.
See appropriate thread not far from here ...
Greetings,
Catfish
The drivers I have been using was from early feb through early March.
But in any event...are they going to replace cards fried?

Guess what happened to me?.. :damn:
I updated my drivers for SH5 and bad company2..
My XFX 9800GT ****king died because of that!!
Bought a MSI R5770-PMD1G (ATI) last Saturday, no more Nvidia for me after what happened!

Mine is very very quiet, even though it has a huge fan..
Just installed my new card - reinstalling SH5 :D

"SH5 ate my video card! I want my money back!"
:rotfl2:
Just kidding, of course. Glad you got it sorted out. How is the new one?
Sweet....all maxed out :D

And when it is possible, clean also your videocard.
I could in the past open my geforce 6800gt and found a cushion
of dust behind the cap of the card. The fans couldn`t cool anymore.
Luckely i was in time.
I have seen today with my geforce 260gtx that it is another story.
I have blowed with pressed air into the exit of the card.
It keeps about 45C again when idled.
