Title: Big problem whit Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 460
Post by: kleszcz on July 01, 2011, 09:31:17 am: I have a problem with the graphics card. When you turn on the system card for about 5 minutes works well. errors later on jumps from the driver does not work properly. Also on the websites I see blurry background. In the games in August cut all the time.
I read from it is the drivers fault but I can not find anywhere good. Maybe someone help...

I have windows 7 (64) asus P5Q 4GB ram Gigabyte nvidia gtx 460 quad q6600 2.40mhz logic 500w AC

Pleas Help.

I am not 100% sure of the problem because of the language barrier but I guess that the cards drivers are giving problems. Obviously if that is the case make sure that you have the latest drivers installed and check to see if there is a firmware update for the card too.

Post by: Dark Mantis on July 02, 2011, 11:35:27 am: Is it single or multiple 12 v rails ?

Does your graphics card have two power connectors on it ?

Have you got the two connnectors inserted into the motherboard, that is one 24 pin and one 8 pin ?

In the end up I had to send it back to the e-tailer i had bought it from to be tested and it turned out it was faulty and got a new card back as I only had it for a month.
