Surely even I can't be THIS unlucky!

Will do, thanks!

is there a keyboard command shortcut to swap monitors around that may work? does such a thing exist?

It still does not explain the issue with safe mode. Safe mode only uses default Window drivers, to which your new GPU should display the Windows OS on. It seems that there must be a serious driver conflict.

This is clear as from as far as I can tell;

Fine in BIOS.
Fine in a boot manager etc.

Solutions?

Most likely install Windows again, not only will this greatly improve chances of compatability, but also performance due to not conflicting with legacy drivers.

Hope this helps.

i guess you could always dual boot and see if it works, you wont lose your data then (if it does).

got pci-e as the first boot option in the bios?

Cleeecooo · 14 Oct 2011 at 21:58

I can't find the option for it but my 580 works fine so I presume it is

dmxdex2020 · 14 Oct 2011 at 23:37

The 580 has more vram. 1.5 of it compared to 1.2 of the 570

Cleeecooo · 14 Oct 2011 at 23:42

Depends which 570 you get. I can't believe you'd think that I'd do something THAT stupid!

I got the 2.5gb versions

Come on! Everytime I see a Cleeecooo thread I get visions of epic #fail #mustread

Your threads are always entertaining, this one however is not one of your best as I honestly assumed you were trying to SLI on an Xfire board

smogsy · 15 Oct 2011 at 08:04

What did you find was the issue with 'lack' of vram? I'm running 3 x 1080p on 470 sli, seems to work well enough.

I can't have all the goodies on with some games, but I've no idea if that's due to vram or just not enough grunt generally.

Cleeecooo · 15 Oct 2011 at 08:33

Lol subliminal!

Damn you smogsy!

And freakbro, I wante all the eye candy turned up in games like crysis, BF3 etc etc

Freakbro · 15 Oct 2011 at 08:37

Well I hope you get it working. Let me know if it does the job required as I've thought about the same upgrade

KiiYzOo · 15 Oct 2011 at 09:11

have you tried a re-install yet?

also, now that the beta is over, you want to play bf3?!?! even though you said you couldn't be bothered when I asked if you played it yet?!?!
