GTX480 Causing Black Ops issues?

Silenced · 5 Feb 2011 at 21:33

Hi OcUK,

Installed my GTX480 today, latest drivers, restarted, and played Black ops for like, 10 seconds then shut it again.

Now, like 4 hours later, I want to play with my friend, if I join his game I get stuck at waiting for other players and it goes into not responding.

If I join a game off the server list I get black screen, then it will go away and re appear in a loop, and it also goes into not responding.

GTX480 causing this? It was fine with my 4870, or it is DisplayFusion?

Properly inserted? you have plugged the correct amount of PSU cabbles into it?

Can you play single player OK?

All my pins are plugged in.

And no, I set everything to extra detail, got through the extremely long video, and then it just hung with a black screen and the mouse there.

Is this only happening with this game or every game.

i had sim crashes found the offender was Asus Gamer OSD but really i think it was PSU even smartcooling could be a bad idea so i used manual cooling of course now i have a new 480 and psu even fallout does what its told.

It seems nvidia driver download detector says I have 03.04 drivers, and obviously are out of gate. Although I'm 99% sure I updated my drivers. We shall see if this helps (26 minutes until the download is done...)

apparently the 480's are extremely power hungry.. what voltage is it?

I don't know what you mean by the voltage of it.

I've got a 850W PSU, an everyone said get a minimum of 600W, so I thought I'd go over

We'll soon find it, just extracting to install now. 60KB/s download is so ***

I'm on BT. And installed those drivers, never seems to install the Control Center (I guess there is still such a thing) but then I noticed, the nvidia auto detector was forcing me into Vista x64 drivers instead of W7. Redownloading time, 29 minutes to go!

Get it off their site

29 minutes for a 160mb file? bloody hell
Just install the ones from the CD for now.
