• Competitor rules

    Please remember that any mention of competitors, hinting at competitors or offering to provide details of competitors will result in an account suspension. The full rules can be found under the 'Terms and Rules' link in the bottom right corner of your screen. Just don't mention competitors in any way, shape or form and you'll be OK.

My problem in chronological order

Dude you are screwing yourself changing things. 65% fan at 67C means you are messing with settings and that is not a good idea when the pc people are telling you that your hardware is fine!

Do the following as you are confusing the issue. First set defaults in catalyst. Take everything in the machine back to stock. Then make sure there are no nvidia drivers on. Make double triple sure you are on your cards factory bios switch setting!

Download heaven benchmark 2.1. Run it at the standard settings.

Next post by you should be;

DID YOU SET DEFAULTS?
IS EVERYTHING AT STOCK?
IS BIOS SWITCH SET RIGHT?
DID YOU FIND ANY TRACE OF NVIDA DRIVERS WHATSOEVER?
CASE PIC WITH SIDE OFF SHOWING HARDWARE (to check if its airflow or something silly).
HEAVEN BENCHMARK SCORE SCREENSHOT (is it actually running slow? install and f9 to bench- fan at auto).
GPUZ MAXIMUMS SCREENSHOT (HAVE IT RUNNING WHEN YOU DO HEAVEN- RIGHT CLICK ON THE SETTING AND TICK MAXIMUM- is it running hot- run it as you bench once done exit heaven set it to show maxes and print screen.).
GPUZ SCREENSHOT AT TOTAL IDLE, BOTH THE OPEN SCREEN AND THE TEMPERATURE SCREEN (CURENT READINGS- whats it like chilling- start up machine and leave for ten minutes, then print screen).
FULL SYSTEM SPEC INCLUDING OS.

Try to keep pics reasonable size. If heaven fails due to temps, crank the fan to as high as you need to and do a run. If you get artefacts print screen immediately and show us.

edit; you also just made my new sig so I now owe you- try and do the above and lets see where we get, please just keep it as brief as poss with just the above specific info.

Ooh don't ban him.. im enjoying his adventures .. See all he has to do is send it back and request a refund and state the graphics card is not compatible with his hardware.. Also wonders if he bought it with a credit card, if so he should be incontact with his cc company asking them for a refund too on that purchase .. He is just making things worse by delaying all this and if that graphics card really has a fault he will soon have a dead motherboard or psu.. If I knew something is faulty it would never get anywhere near my other pc components.

Anyone up for some virtual betting when he will fry rest of his pc components ? (if the graphics card is really faulty):rolleyes:

One of the right looks ok ish?

My 5870 scored 20.5 using what I thought was the same settings (your screenshot is far too low res) but after running I only had normal tes and not extreme.

You should download MSI Afterburner and screenshot the temps or even log it so we can see what is happening with the temps fan etc.

Second score is fine. First is weird. Now if you had been checking gpuz you might have been able to see whether the card was too hot on the first run, or if it was in a lower catalyst state, or we could see if it is being recognised properly.

Look please dont take this the wrong way but its not about dragging this on; if you had posted gpuz details, a case pic ect there would be a chance there could be some conclusions drawn- that is one piece of the puzzle.

Unless that card was literally cooking doing that, you sir, very likley have a working gpu.
