My 5850 doesn't like overclocking the PCI Express bus
You may have a similar problem
I would remove all overclocks first and put everything at default BIOS settings in your motherboard. You want to make sure that it works at standard speeds, voltages and timings and go from there. Make...
As I said in the title, I would have artifacts in some games, cold boot problems, with Vista complaining about the driver daily in System Event, watching MP4 video would sometimes crash the driver, some games like Dirt would crash on long races
I replaced my power supply, and all those...
I get the same message, every day. When I look at the event viewer, it shows a Display error early in the boot process, "The graphic driver stopped working and recovered successfully". My Sapphire 5850 works mostly fine after that
Still bothersome to get that message every day. I also used to...
I am having exactly the same problems coming out of sleep Vista x64 Ultimate
Sometimes it crashes, sometimes it complains but it goes ahead, sometimes it goes into a semizombie state where the clocks are locked high and gives 99% load while doing nothing on Vista desktop. Rebooting takes acre...
ATI 5850. Asus P5K-E. 4GB. Vista Ultimate x64. Q6600. Seasonic 650watts. 9.10 WHQL driver
No overclocks in any component. I get random computer locks after long idle times or after long sleep periods. In my case the monitor is not losing the video signal and going into stand-by, the monitor...
Read the financials. The professional Quadro business at nVidia is 0.2% of its revenue. The margins are nice, but the volume is tiny
Unless that market segment starts growing explosively starting Q1 of 2010, and keeps exploding for several quarters in a row, it will be irrelevant to Fermi's...
I have a very similar problem. I haven't overclocked my 5850 Sapphire card
I am on Vista x64. Almost every time that I login I get the Windows tool talking about errors, telling me that the graphic card has caused some problem or another. It recommends that I update the drivers, which I...
It looks like you have several different things failing at the same time
All the things that don't work for you, work fine for me in Vista Ultimate x64 (I run the beta script to get DX11 installed in Vista)
I would try:
- Make sure you have everything updated. Windows 7 final, not beta...
@wattson, @Andrmgic
I registered to explain my fix. Maybe it can help you
My new 5850 was fine for a few hours, got hot while playing (VDDC#3 over 100oC in GPU-Z 3.6), and started to show artifacts as yours. Texture and polygon artifacts in all games that would stress the card. No problems...
