Update:
The card failed, cause is figured to be voltage. Further tests showed that the power supply was not the cause as it passed several tests in my system as well as others. They took both the card (gtx570) and the psu (thermaltake 750watt) out of my pc and tested both on 3 different systems. They also installed my older card (gts250) on those systems as well and that card worked fine. Final result is the card failed due to a power surge. Source is indetermined. I don't OC my card or processor, I have no knowledge of how to do this, nor do I have any interest in doing so...I see no need if its a good high end card to begin with. The burnt card baffles me as I am plugged into a surge protector, not a cheap one as I paid like 120 buks for it (brand name escapes me atm). The psu is fine, passed all the tests they through at it. Bad card is my guess. The gtx570 has a fine tolerance for voltag (as I have read) ..maximum 1.1volts on the rail if i am not mistaken...from some of the reading I have done some of these cards fail without even reaching that voltage. I had them RMA the card. Here, I guess I am lucky as its only showing 2 of these cards available in Canada. I receive this card tomorrow afternoon. I do hope that I get a good card this time. |
