Should first try changing the thermal paste see if that works.

This is a RAM issue correct?
450

i get that a lot, randomly, and it's either driver crashing on me, or overheating issue

i have to keep my fans pretty much at 100% to avoid that, and it makes an insane amount of noise

thinking of going water for my 2x 7970

problem is all the water block sold are only for reference 7970 frown.gif

everytime mine went to sleep, it never woke up, so i turned off suspend and set screensaver, and the screen saver killed the card

(i guess running the screensaver uses Direct3d and with the card in Low power/desktop mode it fried it?)

I just use the blank "screen saver". I used 3d text for a while. Had GPU-Z recording and found that card one clocked up to 1000 core when the screen saver was running. Your story sounds highly likely.

That shouldn't be a problem unless the fan turns off during screensavers. I dont know if it does as I normally just let the screen turn off instead

Check your idle temps with the normal fan profile as it is not a heating issue I get it with a 31C idle which is completely normal for the card. It is a software issue coming out of suspension. Future drivers will fix it - it is not your hardware.
Success.

i'm still hoping that's the case, we'll know when the official 12.5 comes out

either way, i've already started shopping for another card that's hopefully more stable

I doubt they did, i have them at 69% all the time, anything above that i got grinding sounds coming from the fans., even when playing BF3 in eyefinity it never got above 70^C that i saw. but i lowered the res down a notch or 2 to get better frames/sec. But the desktop was a full 5760x1080, running Mystify (i think that was the screensaver i had on).

I've been playing on beyond low settings w/ the 8800 GTS, i may just leave everything on Low/Med when i get the replacement back, as Im used to it now. There is a difference, people that say that cant see a difference are lying, side by side shots, you can see the difference, running around not so much.

I may just start turning off the screens w/ the power buttons.

I dont think it was a heat issue, it coulda been anything, i wouldn't be surprised if a fly or something saw the lights on my mainboard and decided to fly through the 200mm side fan and spray the GFX card with guts... but it was clean when i inspected it, and the odd looking things in the solder joints on the backside were in photos i took during the un-boxing, so if those were the problem then there were present out of the box.

Guys, got some questions for the people here playing Mass Effect 3 with a single 7950/7970 GPU

As you all probably know the AA in-game is kinda bad. So I turned it OFF in-game.
Here are my settings :

400

Now I forced AA through CCC.
My settings look like this now :

700

Recording with FRAPS I noticed this is the highest AA I can use to get an almost steady 60 FPS.
If I use for instance 8xSSAA it fails to hold 60 FPS.

Now should I tweak some other settings in CCC or maybe in-game to get even better graphics?
Can I set the level of AA higher and keep 60 FPS by making other tweaks maybe (in-game and/or CCC) ?
Maybe use MLAA ? And how will that affect the overall graphics in the game if I would use MLAA together with 4xEQSSAA I am using now.

EDIT : Is it maybe better to use an injector like for ex. this one : http://mrhaandi.blogspot.com/p/injectsmaa.html ?

Thanks for the feedback ! thumb.gif

MLAA is shader based and usually faster.
