Hello!
So, I rarely seek help from forums such as this one for problems conserning PC performance or rahter, lack thereof.
However, I can't seem to be able to figure this one out on my own nor with the help of Google, so I tought I'd post here and see if someone would be able to provide a solution.
As the title suggests, I'm having major problems with my GPU. I'll start by posting specs so you can get a better overall picture of the situation.
MoBo: Asus Sabertooth P67 B3
GPU: MSI Titan Black
CPU: Intel i7 2700K
RAM: 32 Gb G-Skill 1866MHz
PSU: 1200W Silverstone Strider 80Plus
Storage: PNY 120Gb (<- OS), 2x Samsung 850EVO RAID0, Kingston HyperX Predator 240Gb PCIe SSD, WD Caviar Blue 1Tb
Other: Asus Xonar Essence STX
Dual monitor setup with a 4K monitor as a main screen and then a 1080p monitor as a secondary.
Problem Description:
GPU frequently crashes while watching videos from the primary 4K screen. Videos also begin stuttering and audio loss becomes increasingly apparent the longer the video stays on screen. This only happens on the primary monitor as mentioned earlier and if I for example, downsize the browser window the video is playing on and then move it to the 1080p screen and go fullscreen with the video again, the problem dissappears.
Also as mentioned, this only happens if the video is running full screen, but everything appears to be in order if it's not.
There's also some artifacting going on before the GPU finally crashes while watching a video. The screen usually blinks white to black a few times with visible visual artifacts showing and then the GPU comes online again for a brief moment before crashing again.
Windows error reporting doesn't show any critical errors in the event log, but there are some info entries there considering Nvidia Geforce experience and Nvidia drivers.
I recently formatted all my drives, installed Win8.1 and the clean installed Win10 ontop of that so there shouldn't be any malware, viruses or other malicious programs interfering with the drivers.
I haven't noticed anything odd while gaming yet, but the performance doesn't seem to be on par with something that you would expect from Titan GPU.
For example, I ran Battlefield Hardline on the following settings:
1080p resolution
No AA
No Ambient Occlusion
Screen rendering 100% (Maximum upscaling in the game is 200%)
Low to medium texture, shadow and other settings.
I got an avarage of 55 to 60FPS, which is acceptable but not something that you would expect from my setup given that I didn't run the game on unreasonable settings or anything of the sort.
I hope that theres at least some relevant information for you guys to go on, but if not, I'll try to provide you with missing info as soon as I can. I really don't know what to do. If I was convinced that it's the card that's gone bad, I'd probably just RMA it right away.
Anyway, thank you for reading and thank you in advance for your replies.
Sincerely - Chrysalis
