so I just got a GeForce gtx 780. put it in and tried assetto corsa. the game loads, the ui is there, but when I go to start I get the message that my graphics card is not compatible with the game, something about directx version.
I checked my comp. says it is dx 10, is this even possible? I thought all 780 cards were dx 11?
 


such thing will never happen. because 780 is based on GK110 and the chip have all the hardware needed for DX11 compliant. have you tried doing clean driver uninstall using DDU via safe mode? and if possible try to reinstal the game as well. the game you're having problem is an early access game from steam so it could still in alpha or beta state. try running benchmark suite like 3Dmark 11 or Unigine Heaven in DX11 mode
 


8 to 12FPS?

That suggests either a fake card (which I didn't know happened) or more likely a software issue.

Your best bet, if possible, might be to get a spare Hard Drive to install Windows and the basic drivers (motherboard main chipset + NVidia) to see if it will work.

Leave the other hard drives unhooked.

If that's working then either do a complete reinstall or troubleshoot further.
 
well, it's definitely a fake card, compared other numbers from gpu-z with numbers from another 'real' 780' and a lot of them were off.

including bios number, texture and pixel fillrate numbers were WAY down. and upon closer inspection the dxdiag numbers showed different numbers for 'feature levels'. mine being 10.0,9.3,9.2,9.1
his card read 11.0,10.1,10.0,9.3.....etc. ( these number indicating the Dx support).

so lesson learned, and i'm on the hunt again for a new card.

and thanks everyone for all the help and replies, much appreciated.
 


I'd also like to know this so we know where to avoid. Do you mind telling us:
a) The Store/site,
b) Model, and
c) Price you payed?

If possible, it would be nice to know if you get your money back. If you bought it through E-bay for example, you might have no problem. I'm not sure now but several years ago I got burned though it was through PAYPAL that I got reimbursed. Basically I submitted a request and the seller has the option to reimburse with no consequences.

What really pissed me off was the number of fake products on E-bay. It's insane.

Did you know the United States military had fake CPU's in a lot of their hardware?
 
hi, sorry for the late response.
purchased online from Alixpress, from China, I have done this before with other products, but this time I neglected to check if it was a Gold supplier.
a person can find legitimate deals if they're careful. I wasn't this time.
price was 120.00.
went through the dispute process and was reimbursed, still have the card. not sure what model it really is, guessing maybe a 430?
