OK I have some very important information for everyone. I just found out that the Crysis Warhead Benchmark Tool does not work properly in Vista 64-bit. I was getting really low FPS (lower than when I actually play the game) in 64-bit. I went onto my Vista 32-bit installation and ran the Crysis Warhead Benchmark Tool there and now it shows the FPS correctly. In a few minutes I will upload my Crysis Warhead results so everyone can see. By the way, if anyone is looking for the benchmark tools I will upload links to all of them in the first post very soon.

So ran 3dmark 06 and on gpu test 2 this is what happens.



It almost looks like it is overheating but it is sitting around 65 during this test. I really have no idea what is going on and about to send this back to newegg and order a gtx 280 unless I can figure out what is going on.

Do one more thing. Turn your CPU fan and GPU fan both to 100% (temporarily) and run the test again. Post back as soon as you're done.

Seems to be random. Ran the first two gpu tests twice and it occurred the first time but not the second. I'm gonna try redoing the drivers and test again.

Nirran, it could be an issue with your mobo. I clearly remember issues with dfi boards and the 4870x2, granted they were x38/48 boards, but it could be that your board is also affected. Unfortunately, that doesn't really help you, but with two cards very unlikely being faulty, I think you have that dfi bug...

To Nirran: I'll have to agree with cky2k6 on this one. If you are sure that your system is 100% stable then most likely your motherboard has issues. I don't know much about DFI but I read they are supposedly low quality boards. If I were you I would purchase a new motherboard, preferably from Gigabyte or ASUS. If you want I can help you out. Let me know what your budget is and what price range you are looking for and I will find you a great board. It will benefit you in many ways.

That is what I was worried about. So what would be the best pcie 2.0 board for around $100-140 max? I saw a few msi boards but not sure since it has been awhile since I have upgraded my mobo.

Edit: Is this a good motherboard to go with? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...20GA-EP45-UD3P

If so I'll probably purchase it tomorrow.
