    How to know if a graphics card is faulty?

    Wow, I feel like I should give you the money I would have had to pay OcUK for the shipping and VAT to get it tested for faults lol. I put it to 1.024v and it ran through the whole 3DMark 11 perfectly. I then went back to 0.975 to test again, and sure enough, it crashed with the error. I am once...

    How to know if a graphics card is faulty?

    I downloaded afterburner and the voltage doesn't show up. Even after I enable it and restart the application. I have a program called smart doctor which I can change it by though. it is currently at 0.975. By the way, this is my dxdiag. We should have the same driver information shouldn't we? I...

    How to know if a graphics card is faulty?

    Well, I tried a fresh install with the drivers that came with it. The latest drivers, and new beta drivers that dont have whql. I see you have an nvidia card, can you post a screenshot of your dxdiag?

    How to know if a graphics card is faulty?

    How much should I imcrease the voltage by though? I have no idea about that stuff :/ Also, did you see my reply about ddi version in dxdiag? If you have a DX11 card, can you check what your ddi version says under the display tab please?

    How to know if a graphics card is faulty?

    I must fail on google. I can't find out what ddi actually means. Everyone who has ddi 10.1 on dx11 cards seem to be ATI.

    How to know if a graphics card is faulty?

    Yes it has onboard VGA, But I don't think the onboard would be dx11 would it? I don't know what folding is either. I just found something out though. I ran dxdiag and under the display tab the ddriver of the card has a ddi value of 10.1. Doesn't that mean the card can only support dx 10?

    How to know if a graphics card is faulty?

    Well, apparently, the "stock" gtx570 has a core clock of 732Mhz. Asus factory overclocked the DirectCU II to 742Mhz. I haven't overclocked or changed voltage at all. It currently uses 0.975v I think. The only thing different to the stock 570 is the core clock.

    Hi again, I have already placed the order now for the build that I linked on my last reply. But now I think I may have jumped the gun! The graphics card that I got, I didn't realise it takes up 3 slots. Will it be able to fit inside my case and not obstruct other things on the motherboard??? I...

    Guys, one of my friends said I should be getting a B3 revision motherboard or something? Can somebody enlighten me? Also, do I need to buy the thermal paste for the cpu cooler separately?

    Help with build

    Also, should I look at getting amd processor instead? It seems a lot cheaper and it is the same speed as the i5, This is so damn confusing, how come the gtx570 has a core clock that is less than a 560??

    What kind of performance or overclocking ability does the gfx card in my build have over yours? or vice-versa. I see in the first build you have 750w PSU, and in the 2nd only 650w. Will I need that extra 100w?
