I think something is up with mine thought id have another little mess around with some overclocking even 1mhz on the core would crash heaven benchmark, so thought sod it i'll make do, now its not even completing at stock, I came from a titan to this via a few days of using the onboard gpu so not sure what the problem could be, certainly not that my psu etc isn't up to the job, going to do a full windows reinstall just to make sure, oh the joys

Hi there

Is it over heating m8?
I ask because MSI in the past have had issues with thermal compound application. If your problems persist maybe try re-applying the compound on the core and just use something better or return to ourselves for a replacement/refund.

It could be a heat related issue, you could try opening MSI Afterburner to track the temp fluctuations, but to be honest, given that it's so soon after purchase I would do what Gibbo suggested and send it back for a replacement. Then when you get your second one, make a point of tracking the temp etc.... and see how you get on.

If you wanted to check it further it might be worth running heaven benchmark on it and see if this causes the same effect.

hi the core speeds etc all look fine on heaven and temps on the game in question is only about 40 degrees so cant see it being that?

im guessing its either me running out of ram or my cpu is bottlenecking it , but seeing as my q6600 is only around 50% when this is happening i dont understand? dayz ran fine at 40-60fps the 1st day i tryed it but this started happening last night so im not sure , playing other games like l4d2 on max settings getting about 100fps and core goes at about 800mhz , shouldnt it be trying to get the max frames possible? and speed or is my pc just to old

Seeing as you aren't sure what the issue is and have the option of sending it back under DSR I would just do that, though might be worth starting a thread in the graphics card section if you haven't already, for a more comprehensive answer from people with more knowledge than my good self

Hi

That's the thing I don't think it is, as gpu-z logging it during heaven benchmark its barely getting over 50C before it crashes, I had considering doing that but didn't want to risk loosing the warranty, I've requested an RMA but as ive done it as technically faulty it has to be sent for testing rather than refund which means i'm going to be without a card for at least a few days
