What happened to your Inno3D AWPC?

Burnt out suddenly without warning on day 53 in early sept. Advised by OCUK as over 28 days old had to go back to Inno3D.

When they received it Inno3d agreed the card should be replaced so I got a brand new card identical a few days ago (Inno3D had changed the backplate design its now same black heat paint as the backplate & thicker coating as well so they obviously had a few RMAs around these cards...).

Was without it for approx 3 weeks & cost me £37 to send back fully insured to OCUK (you have to make sure its fully insured just incase).

Fellas, I need your advice regarding an issue with my Zotac AMP extreme edition.

I was running some Heaven benchmarks yesterday and I cannot help but notice my cards cpu, memory controller, video engine and bus interface load remained at 0%.
This was not the case I earlier. Can someone shed some light on it. I hope my card is not playing dead with me, since my order was placed on the 2nd September, meaning my acceptance period with OcUK's warranty has expired.

Any help and advice as to what I should do are very much appreciated.

Was the score normal? Run Heaven in windowed mode and monitor the sensors during the run.

Anyway this week has been the poorest since the cards came out, maybe wait until Wednesday for new offers.

I'm debating doing this. I am currently rocking a 750Ti since it's the only one I could lend at such short notice

It seems they increased the price of every single 980Ti/removed every single offer just to promote KFA's.

Edit: Managed to pick up a Strix for £488 from a certain website's Warehouse, hopefully it has no coil whine.

The score seems normal, but something is definitely not right.

I have taken screen shots of it running and when it ended. Cpu, memory controller, video engine and bus interface load remained at 0% for the entire duration.

@Pak

The first thread I saw suggested changing your clock speeds by 1MHz, granted this was with a GT9800 from 2010

They remained at 0% regardless of personal or at factory overclock. That was not the case before..

Have you updated drivers or anything?

Nope buddy, I am still using the exact same drivers.

Here's one of my older screen shots for when it was working normally.

Weird, even on that screenshot the graphics are showing as blank, but at least the numbers are read...

I don't have a clue, sorry

Ignore me, I quoted the wrong image.

Have any of you dedicated an older GPU to PhysX with your 980Ti? If so, how did it go?

I have my friend's 750Ti for a couple of weeks and I have a new 980Ti due later today, I was wondering whether it'd be worth using the 750Ti for PhysX whilst I have it?

So that b grade Gigabyte g1 980 ti was damaged in the warehouse, swapped it for a b grade Palit super jetstream and its actually a really good looking, solid and quiet card.

Very happy chappy, not used to seeing games play at constant 60fps at 3440x1440 but its a massive difference to what I was used to.

Before I gave the present to my brother I actually tested a 970 as Physx along side the 980 Ti and honestly it caused more problems than it solved

Which card did you go for?

Thoughts are with you and your monitor at this difficult time M8.

Stay strong.

Thanks brother.

Look on the bright side: EVGA is supposed to have the best RMA service around.

Yeah i have heard nothing but good things i must admit, and apparently the turn around time is very quick, usually less than they say which is pretty good, and i was told by a few people on other forums that companies dont RMA coil whine, so im made up that EVGA do, if it was only mild CW then i would put up with it, but its present even with headphones on and in game...shame really.

Should I bother installing Gerofce Experience? I would use it just to control the GPU lighting, but I don't want it to interfere with anything else.
