Dear tom's community,
Before I start explaining problems here is my current setup:
Processor: Core i7 920
MB: EVGA X58 (bios 49)
RAM: 3x2GB
Power: 1250W Enermax Revolution85+
Graphics: Asus EAH5970 (not OC)
Furthermore, I want to state that I used drivers form version 9.12 to 10.3 but it didn’t solve my problem.
Problem description:
Very simply stated, graphic card produces artefacts on the picture in all games that I play (Fallout 3, Mass Effect 1 and 2, Everquest 2, Metro 2033, Battlefield Bad Company 2, and probably more) when Crossfire is enabled.
When I am playing in the window mode, or when I disable Catalyst A.I. (which disables crossfire on this card) I have no problems. Games are running without any problem or any artifact on the picture.
Temperatures are also not a problem and I never noticed high temperatures even with playing whole day.
My PC system works 24/7 without problems or any glitches.
To solve this problem, I tried all possible solution that I could think of and read on forums.
I tried to change PCIE slot but it solved nothing.
I tried different v12 rails but again nothing (before Enermax 1250w which I bought thinking it will solve this problem, I had 750w power supply).
I also made clean install of Win 7, but it didn’t help.
Bios on the card is also latest form Asus.
Dear community, if you can think of something else that could help me please write.
If not, I am already preparing this card to be sent back. Luckily I have another card that will help me wait 3 to 4 weeks for RMA….
Thank you very much in advance.
Here are some screenshots of the problem in BBC2 and FO3. In other games it looks same.
