**GOT AN EVGA GRAPHICS RELATED QUESTION OR NEED SUPPORT - ASK HERE!!**

Hey all. I've got an EVGA GTX 570 and I think its starting to fail. Basically I'm getting lockups during various games/benchmarks. GPU Temp is around 60c during some of the lockups so I don't think its overheating.

I've been using the card for more than a year, plus it literally just started happening, so its not a config issue (although I've changed the drivers and fiddled with the various OC software).

So, my question is, what are the best options? Replace it? Whats the equivalent power card available now?

I've noticed that the card does seem more stable after the PC is switched off for a while. It also is rock-solid when not gaming, which suggests a fault when temperatures go up, but I'm loathe to buy a cooler which might just end up throwing good money after bad.

I bought it as part of a PC package, so I doubt the warranty is still valid, so I guess that only leaves changing the card.

Any advice would be welcome though. Options, ideas, or recommends for replacement cards.

Hello,

issues like this could also be occured by a bad power supply or motherboard. The most simple way to get to know if the graphics card is causing the issues would be to test it in a different system. If you are able to I would suggest to give it a try and have a look if you will face similar issues. Can you send me an email with the S/N of the card, a copy of this post and the information when you have purchased it do [email protected] then I will have a look if there is still warranty on the card. A GTX 570 will get replaced with 570/670

Cheers
 
Hi, I have some what of a strange problem with my EVGA GeForce GTX 770 Superclock ACX.

Basically, the driver crashes and I get this error:

"Display driver stopped responding and has recovered
Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 320.18 stopped responding and has successfully recovered."

Just before the message pops up, my screen goes black for a couple of seconds, then that message. The strange thing is that this does not happen while in game. Battlefield 3 and Guildwars 2 are totally fine in game, yet the driver crashes while doing other tasks such as browsing the net or while working in photoshop.

I have tried both 320.08 and the latest 320.18 but no luck. I have tried to reinstall them multiple times (Uninstall, restart, run driver sweeper, restart, install new driver, restart) but also no luck. I really don't know what else to do and this is becoming more frustrating trying to do basic tasks (such as posting on a forum...).

Help with this would be great.

My specs:

Windows 7 Ultimate 64
Intel Core i7-3770K 3.50GHz
Plextor M5 Pro 256GB Extreme Series Solid State Drive
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gbs 64MB Cache
Asus Z77 Sabertooth Intel Z77

Hello there.

I recently purchased an EVGA 660ti superclocked graphics card which arrived and I installed Friday 14th June 2013. The card has worked fine all weekend.

Lo and behold I turn my PC on today and my machine will not get up to the windows login screen, it shows everything up to and including the scrolling windows loading bit, then it blue screens (sometimes it does not), resets and refuses to boot into anything apart from safe mode, upon which entering I get a hardware error with my graphics card being the apparent reason for it.

Any ideas please? Have tried drivers off the cd, 3.14's and now 320's still the same problem. Have used driver fusion in safe mode for clean installs, but still getting the same blue screen error 'nvlddmkm.sys.' or a black screen and reset. The machine will only load into safemode.

I have tried expanding nvlddmkm.sys files to system32 etc. to no avail.

Should I increase voltages? I really am at a lost as to what to do to get it work. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Do I need to RMA? Very dissapointing if so, first time I have ever bought an EVGA card, will be the last if it does turn out to be the card at fault.

My system specs are as follows (all bios/drivers up to date, everything at stock speeds)
Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit
Intel Core QX9650
Western Digital Raptor 150gb HDD x 2
Gigabyte x38t-dq6 motherboard
Coolermaster 1000w PSU
Corsair 8gb RAM
EVGA Gefore 660ti Superclocked

Cheers.

Hi,

thanks for the detailed description - are you getting any POST Led or beep signal right from the boot - are you able to handle a crosstest in a different system - you mentioned you did you a clean driver installation - how did you do that, through an open source tool like driver fusion for example - could you please contact me through EU EVGA Support email: [email protected]

Thanks.

Regards,
 
Hi

I am soon to be building a computer but I can not exactly get my head around this question I ask myself about the EVGA GTX 680 graphics cards. Which of these are better and what are the differences: GeForce GTX 680 FTW, GeForce GTX 680 SC Signature 2, GeForce GTX 680 SC Signature and GeForce GTX 680 Superclocked.

I have a rough idea but I do not really know what are the exact differences. So could you give me some guidance.

Thanks
 
@EVGAdominik

Mate you guys have got to get a titan cooled 770 on the market, you will make a killing as 99% of current cards look like trash.

Hi, we will also have a "titan" cooled 770, this will probably get available in July, because of the material (magnesium) this will probably also be a little more expensive then our own design one. + We do also have the award winning ACX cooler available

Hi,

680 SC = Ref Design / 4 power phases / exhausting cooler with alu block
680 Signature SC = Ref Design / 5 power phases / exhausting cooler with vapor chamber
680 Sig2 SC = Ref Design / 5 power phases / dual fan cooler
680 FTW = own Design / 11 power phases / exhausting cooler with vapor chamber

Let me know if there is any further question

Hi,

is your problem already fixed and did you get in contact with customer support?

Thanks for that.

But could you say what is the best for what or just overall. Like be cooling or performance.
And I hate to say this but I have forgotten about how powerphases tie in to all of it due to my bad memory.
(Facepalm)

Thanks very much again.
 
Hi,

if you want to overclock and do some nice benchmarks the FTW would be the best, more power phased do mean more stable power for the components. If you want to keep it silent the dual fan model is the best. If you just want to game and do not care about noise one of the normal SC or the SC Signature is fine. If you compare the normal SC one with the Signature the signature one is a little better and a little more silent.

i want to buy the "EVGA gtx 780 SC acx" and after lookin at my spec im not really sure if my PSU would take it or if my motherboard is good enough so i was hoping some of u experts would gimmie some advice plz
 
Hi there,

I have 2 x EVGA 670 FTW 4GB cards in SLi, and an Asus Sabertooth Z77 motherboard. I was experiencing the same problems as reported in this thread on the EVGA forums http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=1744000&mpage=1 where I would have random and intermittent crashes/lockups. Setting PCIe to 'Gen2' instead of 'Gen3' in the motherboard's BIOS fixed the problem and the crashes have totally gone away.

I was wondering if either the recent 670 BIOS update or any Asus BIOS updates have resolved this issue? I feel like I should be able to take advantage of Gen3 even though my system is running fine at Gen2.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

your power supply is good enough and if you overclock your CPU (usually this can run 4.5) it would also be good for the card.
My personal opinion for this system would be a 770 ACX, may a 770 classified, this is also available with ACX cooler and then you can safe up for further upgrades. My personal opinion is just that the components should fit to each other and the 780 would be little too much compared to the rest, also because of the price.

Cheers

Hi,

everybody that was waiting for good 600 Series pricing is now right at the eu.evga.com store. We will kick out beginning from 17 o'clock 660ti's

Hi, I have a problem with a faulty EVGA GTX780 SC ACX with one of its DVI ports not working.
I contacted both OCuk and EVGA, and OCuk replied very quickly today with an RMA authorisation; no reply from EVGA yet.
If OCuk find it faulty, and with no stock available (I had to wait three weeks for this one), the best I’ll get is a refund. But I really would like a replacement. I also paid for an extended warranty from EVGA.
Do you think I should return it to OCuk or wait and see if EVGA offer an RMA in the hope that they have stock?

Thanks very much for the explanation. This time I will remember it.
Also do any of you have a rough idea of when EVGA will bring out more models of the GTX 770. Preferably the FTW version.

Thanks
