Purchased 2 GTX275OCX cards, have a 780i 3 way SLI board, q6600 o/c to 3800 stable. 4gb corsair memory. Prior cards were/are 8800GTS 512mb SLI and the entire setup was Lexus reliable.
Problem is the GTX275 cards continually crash under 3D apps/games.
Stock clocks for this factory overclocked card are 709/1242/1566.
I can only run each at 690/1242/1542. Raise the core above that and it crashes with major artifacts. SLI or not. One card in system or both, no difference.
I even backed the entire system off of o/c and yet the problem still remains.
Drivers removed properly, Drive Sweep, etc several times to no avail.
Any ideas?? Appears that BFG is putting out products that are not living up to their claims. Both cards are the same.
Heat is not an issue either. Open case in a very cool A/C controlled environment.
Could I have received 2 bad cards? Too coincidental I think. Called BFG, on hold for over 1hr and I hung up.
