Hi,
I just put together a new system (few days old) and I’ve been having a lot of problems with my Gigabyte GTX 770 2GB windforce 3x.
#1. My monitors (I have two) would often go black, and then I’d get the error that the display driver had stopped responding but recovered. Digging around I found that this seemed to be a common issue. In addition it only seemed to happen with firefox open. I found the window Fix to increase the amount of time before Windows considers the display driver crashed and I switched to chrome, and this issue seems to be improved if not completely resolved.
#2. I can’t get into CIV V on DX 11. The game boots but almost immediately in the startup menu it’ll crash. And I’ll get an error about the display drivers crashing. I’ve tried changing graphic settings, changing power modes (eg adaptive/performance) all without success. I’ve reinstalled CIV, no change.
#3. In first person games…so far I’ve only run X-plane 9 and 10 and AC10 Simulator everything works on high graphic settings, however I get a lot of artifacting. All of a sudden the game is peppered with “static”…lots of little grey and white flashing pixels throughout the game. It’s not the monitors. Changing graphic settings from high to low etc doesn’t change this. I’ve tracked my GPU temps….thinking maybe that was causing a problem…but it occurs even when the temps are low (30-40C) and the GPU is not overheating. This issue starts within a 1-2 minutes of starting the game.
#4. The empire total war series plays fine. The graphics work at full settings without issues.
#5. I ran the Heaven benchmark program for 30 minutes on full settings without any graphical issues. The GPU never got hotter than 68C. I free roamed around without noticing any artifacting and I had good FPS with high settings.
Rest of system:
i5 4670k, not overclocked
ASUS Z87 pro LGA 1150 motherboard
8GB Kingston Hyper X 1600 MHz DDR3 (4gb x 2)
XFX Pro 750W Power supply
I’ve tried using the new Beta drivers, no change. Tried using old drivers, no change. Tried installing the GPU in another PCIe slot, no change.
Everything else on the system is working fine.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for the help!
