memlapse Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Power, Scotty, we need more power!! I think I got the issue figured out. I enabled the performance mode and bumped the power by 4%. No notable increase in temp and I managed to play for 45 minutes without it puking. I'll give it another go, but if it poops the bed one more time, its going back to Microcenter. @rougeninech I'm really sorry highjacked your thread. I won't post about my issue here anymore. Update: The power increase has solved the issue and the card is running great. I'm steady at 55-60 FPS with high rez packs, SMIS, and spawners. I find it interesting that I'm seeing the same shadow issues I did with my dual GTX 470s, so I'm chalking that up to Bethesda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueNineCH Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 That's okay however I would still welcome any more input from Kepler users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I2edShift Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Well, I'll be using purchasing a 680 Classified once it's released (supposedly sometime in june, according to EVGA employee's). I've been running a 5870 2GB Matrix card, and while awesome... I need more powa! Main reason is the 4GB's of vram, adaptive VSync, and the overall better gaming performenance, along with the lower power consumption. I've read at least a half dozen reviews of the new 7,000 series against the 680, and besides AMD's faster memory hardware, I see no reason to invest in them.

memlapse Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I'm going to have to replace my already beefy power supply with a beefier one and probably water cool the dammed thing. I'm still getting some indications that it needs more juice. I'm afraid to push it past 6% without additional cooling, and I'm not even pushing the GPU past default, even tho I'm supposed to be able to hit 1.1 with it. Edit: I said screw it and maxed out all the overdrive settings and increased the fan speed by 20%. Holy crap is this a fast card. No heat issues at all and so far my flaky screen anomalies have gone away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueNineCH Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Good to hear that the card is working for you now, it sucks when you invest that much money into something and it gives you trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
