Help with my new V9999 td

I've just upgraded my graphics card and I'm getting weird graphical corruption in most, but not all of my games.

Lines come out of the characters, like this



It happens in FEAR half life 2, Oblivion but not in 3DMark06 or Far Cry

Why is this happening?

I've tried different drivers, underclocking, lowering my RAM speed but nothing makes any difference

Any more suggestions?

Athon 2200+
AN7X8 motherboard
512 Ram
V9999 td Geforce 6800

Can I do anything about it?

Got my card from e-bay so returning it will be tricky...

turn off fastwrites i had the same effect with it enabled and I do have a v9999ge model

Thanks for the suggestions but no luck i'm afraid...

The card is not overheating it run at about 41C
Turning fastwrites off doesn't make any difference

It deffinatly the card though, replaced it with my old Radeon 7000 and the corruption dissapears completely in Half Life 2

It really looks like its a faulty card.

that may sound stupid, but... you said you tried different drivers, but did you try the newest one?
could be memory heating or even a faulty card temp programs dont show temperature for memory...

Ok none worked and not overheating have you plugged in the 2 molex power connect for the card and second maybe you psu is not pumping enough juice

p.s. I've got a 450watt psu, that sould be plenty right?

I've checked and you may be right... 25a on the 12v rail

It's a Jon Jye Electronic Co JJ-450

Will replacing my PSU really help though, I've already spent a small fortune on this upgrade... Could have gone PCIe DOH!

disable 1 pixel shadder and 1 vertex shadder the ones you will disable will be the hardware one. I dont want you to speed anymore money but you will need a bigger psu you are just cutting the edge with the 25 a I know I had to get a bigger one too for the ge model. try the underclock first though and if that stops it than you do need a better psu

I think it will but you will have 12 pipes now dude you have the gt and it should be 16 sorry it is the td you will have 12 someone enabled 16 before you got it by the way it looks to me.

you will have 12 dude trust me you can enable one vertex shadder with no problem its the pixel that the problem. dude you wont have that much of a fps slow down I havent I still play all the games with really good fps with high to med settings mostly high I turn effects down because I cant see a bloody thing when set to high.

I would not even try right now because it is unstable but flashing the bios to a better setting will speed it up for you. video bios that is

Raise TRP, TRAS, and maybe CL of your Video RAM.

That or underclock your Video RAM to about 70% stock speed.

Flash the VIDEO CARD with a Gigabyte BIOS, of as similar a card as possible, (Gigabyte use correct Video RAM timings - Often not talked about because most people don't try it) and the problem will go away, you'll likely be able to overclock it after doing this.

Just replaced the motherboard and cpu... it's in another machine!

enermax eg651p-v is what I use it also by tomshardware got a great outcome on the stress test it was the 2nd best in the test.

specks
3.3- 36a
5- 36a
12-36a

Dude I have two of these cards and every one has the same problem I have never owned a ati its not the drivers it is the pix shadders someone enabled 16-1.6 when it should be 12 - 1.5 but 12 -1.6 works I got a snaper for ya


the one that is disable if I try on both of the cards I get the same problem he has like I said before this is the 7th card I'v seen with this problem after all its only 12 pipes not 16

get nibitor this will allow you to read your current bios
http://www.mvktech.net/component/o [...] 92/page,2/
now you can edit the bios Tools select drive than ok than tools again than read into nibitor
version 2.5
now you need nvflash and a floppy
http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=896
copy the new saved bios to floppy and the nvflash and read the instruction

use my screen shot for a guide to enable and disable

These cards use alot of power I would say not but I don't know in all 2 rails with 17a seem ok but I would at least want no lessor than 32 on a 12 volt. Wait I had a 350 with 17a with mine and had to get a 651watt 36a its ok to use the program to read your video bios it does not do a thing you have to flash the bios to actually do harm I am thinking that the vcrad had reduced the volt for protection reasons I know mine did and I flashed it to change the protection volts to 1.5 from 1.3
you can use nibitor without problems dude this does not do a thing to your cards bios this only reads the bios not flash the bios you will get a warning but that warning is incase you decide to flash it with the settings.
always save the current bios to a file in case of a error and than if a problem does happen you can use a pci video card for the need to flash the agp back to its original saved bios. I have done this operation lots of times. never have I had a issue as long as you dont over do what the card can handle

This is what I am talking about notice how mine are all 1.5 I change it for the current setting because ever time the gpu got a little to hot it change it to 1.3 even spikes can cause this and the card never changed it back Now that I think back I was having a few issuse with the lower volts

you have msn
