okay. first thing first. I recently purchased a video card from ebay. IT is a nvidia 6800 gt. I got it from a buyer from ebay, he clamed to only have the card for 3 months, non overclocked and it hasnt even been register at Nvidia yet. Im going to try to register it myself to make sure, anyway heres the problem.
After recieveing the card and installing into my computer , i ran one of my games to see the increase in fps but when i started the game and while playing i started to get bad artifacts and the games fps would go down to barely moving. My screen would look like a colidal scope and would get these random freeze, with sound looping over and over till it unfreezes , and major artifacts were i couldnt see anything in the game . Didnt matter what game i was playing, but i would get diff degreeses of artifacts and problems with diff games, but same problem though. So first thing first , i made sure it wasnt a driver issue or something considering i just has a ATI card in the computer, so i erazed my hardrive and reformated it because anyway it was well over due for one,
After reformating everything i installed card again and newest nvidia driver and same problem. I even tried diff drivers and same problem. i checked my temps on my card and they barely get over 80 degrees(they would spike ever so often to 83 maybe) on full load and i would also sometimes get a beep from my computer like something was wrong. NOw heres where it get wierder. Now when i play the game for there first time, no matter what game it does this, but after trying to play the game a bit and watching all the artifaacts i close down the game, then wait a bit and i start up the game again, or any game and the problem stops. I may get a tiny bit of artifacting at the beging, if any, but then it stop and i never see the problem again as long as i dont turn the computer off, from then on it never does it again no matter what game i play, or how long i wait to play another.
NOw when i turn off the computer or restart it and try to run a game again it does the same thing again. Soon as i close the game, and wait a bit and start another game after it , it stops and runs smoothly, no artifacts, Fps drops or anything. I dont get any artifacts or and problems outside of game, like in the internet or watching a movie on the computer , just in the games. Ive checked my cpu temps and it seems like they are fine, but i wouldnt see cpu temps as being a issue to cause this. Nothing is overclocked in my computer, and i have plenty air flow to keep system running cool. IM not sure what could be the problem and need to know what you guys think. I guess if it prersist at least i can send it into nvidia and get it fixed. So, what do you guys think about it.
