Hello,
Hopefully someone may be able to help me with the game issues I'm having at the moment. I recently upgraded my PC to an A10-6800k, 8gb 2133 ram, g1.sniper a88x mobo, 550w PSU and windows 8.1. Its my aim to replace the CPU with a kaveri so based on the speculation you can run that in dual graphics I also bought an R7 260x.
The card came with Blood Dragon and that ran really well out of the box,I also tried Planetside 2 and an old copy of Left for dead. However I've had problems with it dropping to desktop or giving errors that the graphics driver has stopped responding, games are running very poorly to boot.
I've downloaded the latest motherboard and radeon drivers to no avail. CPU-z shows the card is running around 30C when sat on the desktop and if I open task manager with a game running the CPU load is 50-60%. I have seen nothing to suggest that 550w is too low for my system and all other fan and temp readings seem ok.
Should I try switching to the integrated graphics? I have an older corsair 550w PSU to try, are the graphics driver errors likely to indicate a problem with the card? Its a factory OC Gigabyte so I suppose it might be drawing slightly more juice. Could it be an issue with the six pin connector as the graphics card is only flakey under load.
Hope for some insights.
