Defective EVGA gtx 660 ti?

[William George]

Hej guys, I've recently built my self a gaming pc. I think my gtx 660 ti is defective, it lags very much while playng bf3, i've updated all drivers and even when I'm playing with low settings it lags. Any suggestions? or should I call costumer service?

Hey,

Does this happen only in BF3 or in other games too? Also what are your temperatures? You could run a benchmark like Unigine Heaven, and report back the scores to us. Also do you have the latest drivers properly installed?


Hope this helps!

Yes, you need to check with other games too...
And make sure the antivirus isn't running for scanning or updating when you are playing.

Guys I've just reinstalled windows 7, updated the drivers and all that stuff but it's still lagging, I've tried to play without antivirus but it's still the same My temps are ok, cpu 35-45 C, GPU 65-75C. It's Still kind of lagging in other games but not as much. So basically it's still lagging

Thank you for your answears guys

There's something wrong then...
Are you sure the card is properly seated? All cables are properly connected? Tried other games?

[William George]

Thanks for your answers.

Guys, I'm pretty sure everything is connected correctly and I don't know how to underclock Do you think I should return just return it?

 

[wa1]

Well, since your card is brand new, it wouldn't hurt to call their support or even RMA it to get replacement...

[William George]

Yes I that will be best and lets hope it's just the card and nothing else

Thanks guys.
