    ATI 5870HD issues .. need opinions on what's causing this

    Final answer on this issue was that it was dying hardware. I didn't bother underclocking the card because I was also getting some driver crashes when I was playing as well and I just decided to ditch AMD altogether and go back to an Nvidia card. I picked up the 560Ti (not the 448) and things...

    ATI 5870HD issues .. need opinions on what's causing this

    Unfortunately I pulled a big fail and I don't think I registered the card after I bought it and I've owned it for about 2 years 3 months.

    Weird Graphical Corruption

    I have a similar issue with my 5870 HD and posted it in this thread: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1658870 Do any of the images there look similar to what you're seeing with yours?

    ATI 5870HD issues .. need opinions on what's causing this

    I've tried it in both DX9 and DX11. I just ran the Unigine benchmark and it seems to point to a dying card possibly. When I first started the program it would flicker and distort the screen right away for the 5-10 seconds (I tried to SS it but the SS came out black). I stopped and started it a...

    ATI 5870HD issues .. need opinions on what's causing this

    I run WoW full screen and the card is an XFX 5870 HD. Pretty sure it's reference. I don't believe it's factory OC or anything like that. I'll try that benchmark tonight.

    ATI 5870HD issues .. need opinions on what's causing this

    If you zoom in on the second two pics you can see what looks like stuck pixels. I'll try to edit the pics in a bit and circle some of them.

    ATI 5870HD issues .. need opinions on what's causing this

    I've got a strange issue that's crept up a couple weeks ago and I can't figure out what it is. I suspect it's my card but I thought I'd post a couple pics for opinions. Trying to keep myself from rambling on too much but here's a few things I've attempted trying to resolve this: I've tried...

    Gigabyte X58A-UD3R Thread

    My board was DOA. New PSU and the g.skill couldn't even get it running. I've RMA'd it and I'm going to see if I can get my 930 up and running with the ASUS P6X58D Premium instead (assuming there's nothing wrong with the CPU)

    Gigabyte X58A-UD3R Thread

    At the time you posted this reply I was actually doing just that .. no luck in getting any further however. I removed the CPU and put on AS5 this time instead of the thermal paste that came with the True Spirit. Well the Antec 900 case I'm using doesn't have a speaker that I know of...

    Gigabyte X58A-UD3R Thread

    Well my issue is not related to the power supply. I went to Best Buy and picked up an identical Corsair just to be sure. Initially after going back and looking at things again I thought I just made a noob mistake because I didn't plug in the ATX12V. When I plugged that in though I there seemed...

    Gigabyte X58A-UD3R Thread

    Reading through thread again I found the post on page 9 from EliteComputerBuilds having success with the G Skill memory. I ordered some up hoping that it's the Corsair causing my trouble. I'll have two types to troubleshoot with at least when it gets here. I'll probably be motivated enough to...

    Gigabyte X58A-UD3R Thread

    I just got this board and I can't even get it to boot into BIOS. Here's what I'm trying to boot with: Core i7 930 Corsair TX750W PSU Corsair XMS3 1600 6GB (2GBx3) ATI 5870 HD 1GB That's it. It doesn't come up to BIOS or any video signal. I'm getting power on the board. The overvoltage...

    i7-980x now listed at ZZF!

    Ugh .. just wait for newegg to get in stock. I'll never buy from ZZF again based on their crappy ATI 9870 debacle. Put it on the site for sale .. charge everyone ... oops sorry backordered for a week. WTF. Then it took them over a month to credit my card back. Zip Zoom FAIL!

    Did anyone's 5870 ship

    Well that's pretty disappointing. I've called and canceled my order as well. That's the last order I'll be placing through ZZF. I'll wait for Newegg to get it in since I'm screwed now anyways.
