gigabyte graphic card gtx 480

[Johnz-]

Hello, my system specs are gigabyte ud3r x58a, gigabyte gtx 480, kingston 1600mhz, intel i7 960 3,2-,3
I dont know if the "problem are from the monitor" or from the graphic card.
i have some tearings in the games when i dont have enable the v-sync and i have a lot of fps, i use the latest drivers 266.58, i hope gigabyte make better drivers for that card.

Dark Mantis i waiting reply from you

thanks all.

Well as I said before normally I would expect to disable the V-sync unless you are using a CRT. It sounds like the cards having problems keeping the frame rates up but you say you are getting a good frame rate. Have you tried dropping the frame rate to see if it still occurs ?

If you can borrow a mates monitor you'll soon see if its a graphics issue or monitor prob.

Even though Gigabyte branded card, its nvidia who make the drivers

[Johnz-]

yeap sorry drivers nvidia, dm im sure i dont have any problem in my card, im SURe is the monitor.
i have a greek monitor, lg E2240  .

You might be over driving the monitor if it isn't a very good one. As oggmonster said try using a different one to test the theory. That is the easiest option.

[Johnz-]

you mean i must unistall drivers from the monitor? i didnt understant.

[Dark Mantis]

No not at all, just borrow a friends monitor, disconnect yours and plug his in instead and see if you get the same problem or not.

[Johnz-]

maybe i need configure settings of nvidia control panel ? any recomended settings? i have them auto "let the 3d application decide"

[Dark Mantis]

Of course you can play around with settings but if you are unsure I would advise you to leave them on Auto.

[Johnz-]

can you tell me what to test ? i mean what i must check to see if its ok , from what this problem must be hdd? mobo? card? drivers ?

tell me some steps to do what to look for.

[Dark Mantis]

I am not sure I understand your question.

Have you changed the monitor and did it make a difference ?  There is no need to test anything other than that if it is working ok now.

[Johnz-]

on bios i have it just PCI, it has more options pci -e pci e x16 and some more maybe there need somethink?

[Dark Mantis]

Hi

It should be set to PCIE x16 for primary display device

[Johnz-]

so default "Pci" is wrong ?

[Dark Mantis]

Yes unless you have a PCI gaphics card.
