Hi!!!
I've bought a brand new graphical unit Gigabyte GV-N98TOC-1GI, and I have a slight problem. When I install drivers for it on my computer, and try to get a Windows 7 system rating, graphic driver gets stuck on dx10 tests....it does a dx9 test fine, and when any of the tests for dx10 are on board, it just gets stuck, restarts and shows the error message.
Also, I used to have Leadtek PX8600 GT Extreme 256 MB , and win 7 rated it as 6.5, and the new Gigabyte card gets 6.0.
Most of the games run well, but I'm not sure if it gets its max....but for example, Crysis freezes after just a couple of seconds playing....I didn't have problems with any other games (they all run on max settings), except for crysis....I monitored my GPU temps while on load and they don't go over 50 Celsius. I tried the new NVidia driver, as well as the drivers I got with my new card. I also updated the bios on my motherboard, which, by the way is MSI K9N Neo V3.
There's also one interesting thing, and that is: When I tried to update my graphic card bios via Gigabyte VGA @Bios utility, it just didn't work, showing the message that the bios I selected doesn't match with my current bios version.
Also, if it's needed to say, I have a Chieftec PSU 650 W, and I tried my friend's 750 W one, but it still had the same problems.
Anyway, all other games that I tried, like Necrovision, GTA IV, FarCry 2 ran well and on max settings (except for GTA because of the graphical ram)
So, can you tell me, is there any problem with my graphic card, and should I return it? Did anybody have similar problems with this card?
thanks in advance
PS: I also tried Windows Vista, and it makes the same problem with Crysis, although, the system rating thing passes without problems and it rates the card on max: 5.9.
