gtx 470

[stoppro]

I just received a EVGA GTX 470 for my birthday,I uninstalled the drivers for the gtx 260 installed the 470 ran the cd.It ran find for one minute then lots of snow then freeze. so I downloaded the latest drivers -same thing-anyone have any ideas? the game runs nice for the short time it does run.My system is -xp64 bit-amd quad-8gigs of ram-I am not that savvy with computerbut can do most things-if explained very simply.thanls

You might have PSU power problem or overheating problem.
Check that you have at least 500-600 Wat PSU and all cables are connected correctly.
Check that the fan on your card is spinning.

Have you check this,remeber the card need, and also the hard drive,and motherboard

[stoppro]

thanks for reply I have bfg1000watts power.would the card overheat that fast? come to think of it I didn't hear much fan noise I'll put it back in when I get back thanks again I would really like this to work.

If I was you,get riva from www.guru3d.com there can you see what you perhaps need,I think the card take approx. 75-100 watt

well i got back istalled the 470 plus the software for the cpu's and the fan, set fan to 80and now it's running fine so far-. I also changed around some of the modular harnesses on the power supply.It didnt really explain the settings for the cpu i should use so i winged it.but i would like to know. well its been 10min and still going. thanks for the reponse

[stoppro]

oop! spoke to soon crashed again.but this time got a message telling me it failed.I guess it's going back.

[stoppro]

I tried it again with the drivers that came with it.It has been running for a half hour and so far no problems.I set the fan with the Precision soft ware,but am confused about the cpu settings involving shader and the cpu I have them at min.should I bump them up?

HI stoppro:)

First off I build my own Hi-End gameing rigs and am running a pair of these.

Happily you have EVGA. No questions asked, Hassle free support.

Your PSU is fine and I think your smart enough to hook it up right.

Start with a base line. > Install ONLY drivers for Card first. Do the CPU frills later.

See at basic settings if it runs stable, on the same game before, you do further tests turning on other features.

If it runs stable for at least 2hrs Gameing......

THEN start adding features, One at a time.

If it doesn't run with just drivers, EVGA has a simple RMA process.

I'll watch your thread to see how it goes and help you along.

Good Luck :up:

edit : And quit screwing with the fan software settings.

Let it run at Max for now. Once it's stable you can test that.

[stoppro]

thanks firewall been running sh5 for 4hrs -fan on 84-Ihad 30 fps for about 15mins then it went to 60 and stayed there.{i have v-sync on] the precision software cpu are at min. hell,I might leave everything where it is. the game looks great no frame drops inside the u-boat.If nothing goes flakey it should be ok. the new drivers caused all the trouble. i went back to the one on the disc and it is fine.funny you should say that about the fan It won't run worth a damn without the prcision software it comes with. think the card's sour?

[FIREWALL]

I'de run it for awhile and see what happens. I OC alot but I like the software that comes with my hardware.

You got the best " EVGA" brand out there. It's what I buy. Click the link I gave ya.

I've never had a prob with them. :up:

ps. Please telL me you have alot of fans for case cooling and your room isn't 100F :haha:

And don`t mention this before,anyway you have great support her so you NEVER be alone,after you fix this is will running smooth :up:

[stoppro]

yes there are 3 fans besides the processor and the card. I clicked on that link you gave me. man thats a nasty rig you must have twenty fans in there.well I'm heading back out again.I finally got to "happy times" thanks again

someday I will have something like that. on an other note I got cocky and moved the psu switches a little and- crazy colors and freeze-well that taught me I put them back to min and resarted the game all ok so far . man these cards are touchy It's staying where it is

[stoppro]

well it froze again .I got a message "failed display driver wrapper' whatever that is.there is no tech support untill monday so it's coming out and 260 going back in.I want to get some gametime in.

First try to install the driver for the card,you use cd or have take link from Nvidia homepage shttp://images.nvidia.com/products/geforce_gtx_470/geforce_gtx_470_3qtr_low.png
or rollback and be careful and do it again step by step, :yep:

OK I sat down for a while. then reinstalled drivers and 470 . it is running sh5 for about an hour and half now.my fingers are crossed.

Hmm, never had this issue, but I have a 480, which might be why.

good luck, when they run right these 400s are great cards.

Sorry getting late here. Had to get a laugh or two reading a few idiot and gay posts here on other threads. :haha:


Hope you have good news. Was maybe thinking Mobo prob. Only slightly tho.


Your other card wasn't giveing you a prob. Soooo....?


Trail and error testing or take it to a PRO.$$$$$$:wah:

[stoppro]

ran ok last night[this morning] it has been off for 6hrs -just fired it up an hr ago running well no problems. fingers are still crossed. I will probably run all night for stress test.

Tell me about it, I remember the days I just took components of my Mobo with my bare hands to give the case a inside clean up.

nowadays you'll have to wear these anti-static gloves and you better don't give any components a odd look as he might fry itself :haha:

and video cards are the drama queens of todays computers...a minor mistake can cost you a lot of $$$

Try reseting your Bios to default values.
Just choose load default values on the main screen...it just might help.

It also may be that you received a damaged card or its some kind of BUS/Card incompatibility.It sometimes happens with certain cards and MBs-thats usually requires advanced tweaking if possible.

If you upgraded your RAM recently try checking it for damage.

[stoppro]

well it is still going strong.the problem well be when I start it again. I RAN IT 4HRS last time shut it down -went back 6hrs later ,started it up and crash in 15 mins . so i'm about to close it .let it sit and do it again to be sure.If that doesn't do it 470 out 260 back in. I'm not good enough to go screwing with the bios.I'd just mess it up more and then it probably won't run the 260. thanks for the tip though

[stoppro]

this time I didn't get a chance to shut it off .It crashed just after my last post-crazy colors then freeze-sob

I have vert sync on so it shouldn't go over 60 how do you get280?

:lurk:

[stoppro]

with sync off it never did much better than 100 but it was kind of jerky the sync smoothed it out. I got to build that new rig! I will be in port in about an hour. i will shut down for a while then head out . that will be the test.

but anyvay, run some app i describe before,to see temp settings and copy things to clipboard

so you have refrens in time be,and then you can search more and iIm sure at you can handle this,btw howe many gig have you in ram memory?

[stoppro]

8gigs I'm not sure how to do that other stuff. I saw it on the precision window but all i did was to increase the fan to 100

[Gerald]

8gigs I'm not sure how to do that other stuff. I saw it on the precision window but all i did was to increase the fan to 100

But you can reduce the fan,I have setings for fan in auto so this fine and not affect the card,btw you say at you have A/C so this will be fine,have you also some mods in SH5?

[stoppro]

yes there are a few mods.I'll keep the fan on high for restart,if this goes well then ,the other stuff.I just want it to work twice in a row.

[Gerald]

yes there are a few mods.I'll keep the fan on high for restart,if this goes well then ,the other stuff.I just want it to work twice in a row.

You have huge power-supp (1000) W.try to get higher settings for FPS so,after this it running fine set to max!

[Gerald]

yes there are a few mods.I'll keep the fan on high for restart,if this goes well then ,the other stuff.I just want it to work twice in a row.

True?

[stoppro]

I think I might make it= 2hrs in still strong I"ll finish this misson then restart career and that should do it=- I'm still not sure what I did to fix it -if it is fixed

[Gerald]

I think I might make it= 2hrs in still strong I"ll finish this misson then restart career and that should do it=- I'm still not sure what I did to fix it -if it is fixedso next time you start over again,check FPS,so you can increased the value

[stoppro]

you can do that with the top slider on the precision window?

[Gerald]

you can do that with the top slider on the precision window? but you still have normal settings?

How much of an overclock do you plan to run? If none you are wasting money on a megawatt psu. Hell, you would be wasting money on the megawatt unit even if you ran two 480's in SLI and a decent overclock.
