It may be caused by two factors.
- The card itself. Stress test it: Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark
- The Game's settings. Change the priority levels to minimum or normal, dont set any of those to high.
Let us know the results.
Not an ATI user myself, but I know that some nVidia cards sometimes miss some FPS during gameplay which cause the same thing. Priority level adjustment may minimize it.
strange but when i press to log the results as shown in the instructions,furmark stops responding,should i just go on without that?
You follow the run ... if there are problems, notice it, let us know. We need to know if the card is causing a problem or not, just. OK? :)
ok so i downloaded gpu-z to make a log of the temps.Attached it.When gpu temp reached 100 C, i stopped the test.
Edit:A friend gave me some drivers scan programs to run and they both found some out of date drivers.(
Are those programs legit or scams?Have driver detective and driver scanner by uniblue.
As far as I know, DriverMax is a trustworthy program.
Apparently, that high heat cause BSODs or graphics glitches anytime. Use Speccy to check the real time heat, if needed, arrange extra cooling.
Play with the game's priority settings, and see if it changes the situation or not.
And, how old the card is?
the card is asuseah4870 and i think i bought it about 3 and a half years ago.
As of the heat problem that u say,i thought of that before and was using a big homefan pointing at the gpu and ram and some days i was able to go without a bsod.
Drivermax points out the same outdated drivers as driver detective .
Going with speccy now , ill let you know.
ok so the game freezed again(no Bsod),at the time of the freeze Cpu was at 60C,mobo at 45C and gpu at 86C.
So is it my that my gpu is overheating?
the thing is i am playing quite nice for 10-15 minutes,graphics are just nice, and then ding crash,is it possible to do sth else except replacing it ? I dont think i can afford one right now(prices are about 100$ for 1gddr5 right?)
SweetSaint, IMHO one almost 4 years old card is not very capable to play the latest games like MP3 or GW2 perfectly. Those require dense and powerful graphics, and only driver cannot make them compatible for that, the architecture of the card is also a big factor.
What I have said you earlier, see it. Set preferences to minimum, it will minimize that FPS loss hopefully. But cannot be able to stop totally.
