Solved Is it dead gpu?

[Solarstarshines]

The temps are fine. My 6870 can hit 60 after 6 hours of gaming.

well mine goes about 54C after gaming left4dead 2 or dead rising borderlands etc it stays round 54 during after game play it is 45 to 47 c

True, but my ambient temperatures are 27 or so degrees and 60 is the maximum. It typically hovers around 55.

Your temps may be fine for now, but gaming or other GPU activities can skyrocket those temps, especially if the GPU is overclocked beyond specs.

You asked why two GPU's died in six months??? Overclocking can cause this.

If you're overclocking, you need to make sure you're using the correct values as overclocking done wrong will cause problems. Check that your PCI slots aren't running to far above 100MHz.

I run an overclocked system myself so I'm not bashing, just saying there's a right and wrong way. However I don't overclock my GPU.

My two cents.

well looking at the pic again why didnt you oc the memeory clock too it seems underclocked

I have mine oc'ed but yet i did it through the ccc card is stable no issues read alot about how to oc it though and from previous ati card 5770 you have to go with in the values these cards are good oc'ers you might have just gotten a dud

Further more if you dont have a back up or have any warrenty to back up this situation you will have to eat it if you got time to get it back and swap i suggest stay away from oc'ing till you find a card that actually works

To be honest that looks like a very soft oc so i don't really think it could be that bad

It really is starting to look like the core overclock. 40mhz is really quite high without some
additional cooling. Might get better results with a 5-20mhz overclock on the core and
experimenting with the memory. Usually 5-10% with the core and 10-25% on the
memory is safe. Not that I am saying it won't damage your card! Overclock at
your own risk.

According to the specs it should be allright.
Thats the specs of gpu. I dont overclock anything on pourpose but for some reason it was tick in CCC for overclocking. I am installing now something to try.

Actually you were running your core @ 740mhz according to your pic.
Hmmm.
Also your no load speeds were high.

See @ the bottom
yours were 400mhz and 900mhz I believe.

yeah..true. well that settings were set automaticly. how do I set them lower? where it should be as I can not find anything in CCC

 

[rvbfan]

I suggest you download the latest drivers from ATI, then reboot into safe mode. Uninstall VGA drivers.
Reboot into safe mode, reinstall latest drivers in safe mode, then reboot.

 

[PavelChehoff]

I change PCIe settings in bios from AUTO to 100MHZ. Now CCC showing all clocks are lower. I still cant fix POWER SAVE MODE. It is still doing it fore some reason.

You showed screenshots of Powertune5 before. Is there a setting for "RETURN TO DEFAULT" or some such?
If so, do it. And delete the program.

it is easytune 6. that is utilite for gigabyte mobo and cpu. similar to CCC but for other hardware.

 

[rvbfan]

That's it! Return to defaults and upgrade hardware for better performance.

Ticking 'Enable ATI Overdrive' raises the 2D clocks.

They could also be raised if using more than one monitor.



****

Make sure Easytune6 hasn't touched anything regarding the card (raised settings). Reset the card to stock levels in CCC.

Make sure that the video card 12v rail isn't sharing the same rail as the CPU.

ie If the hardwired CPU 8 pin power plug utilises the 12v1 rail, plug the modular 12v2 rail into the card.


(balance the load basically)

It's more trouble than it's worth.

ok.. I format hdd, make a clean full windows installation, change power cables to gpu. So we will see how it goes. Will tell later if its fixed or not.

 

[PavelChehoff]

all right guys... seems its not so bad. Its running smoothly so far without any errors. I even managed to connect two monitors. Will try later to run some nice big game to ensure that its ok. I think the problem was with power rails. run for a few days, then post how it goes. Thanks a lot to everyone helping me in this issue!

 

[Solarstarshines]

Make sure you rep the solution and mark thread as fixed with the litle red triangle at the top of the screen

Also good luck to you hope you're Gpu stays working well for you take care

Glad to help! Post the results.

 

[smarteyeball]

Fingers crossed

Sorted. I tried MAFIA II 1920x1080 running great. temp not higher then 51C with 2 monitors. So all I think it was a power rail+clocking settings. I have changed some figures in bios as well. Unfortunatly I dont know a lot about bios. But Anyway. Thanks to all. Great help! xxx
