I got the same card works great, np with the new drivers 93.71 there has to be some other reason for the drivers and your card.

Btw add this to your reg..
Go to :HKEY_Local_Machine\system\currentcontrolset\control\session Manager\memory management and change or add this dword. To change you will right click on iopagelocklimit, modify, to add a word you will right click in the right side and click in the open area slect new. We need a Dword saying (IoPageLockLimit) now modify,(iopagelocklimit to 1000 in hex). What you are doing here is loading IO operations in memory. What this solve is loading of drivers and dx during game play or application, flashing of screen, slower response time to IO operations like sound drivers being linked to the IO operations of the sound processing channel. These are just a few things adding this line to your registry will help.This keeps the core Windows system to be kept in memory and not paged to disk. 1000 hex works good with 1gb of memory oc'ed high quality memory.


Also modify the DisablePaging Executive to 1 you will have better access time to your drives very usefull when decoding movies.

Little bit more with IOpagelocklimit 1000 hex = 4096 KB

2000 hex = 8192 KB

HKEY_L_M\System\currrentcontrolset\control\session manager\memory management.
add dword, (IoPageLockLimit), Modify to 1000 hex.
No brackets or comas with the dword[/img]
 
Hells no. That tech (and the company he represents) should not be given credit.

Tech asked him to remove the fan, which is a clear violation of the warranty. Also, if the user wasn't skilled enough, he could ruin his computer, or do other damage.

That tech should be fired IMO.
 
Just when I think the forumz have no surprises for me, I see XFX support solve a problem with a BFG card that BFG was too stupid to articulate. Isn't that against some sort of company policy for you guys? :wink:

BTW, if anybody ever asks me about "BFG vs XFX" I'll definitely steer them towards XFX.
 
Not really. Is there any way for us to tell whether or not you own a PC shop and are affiliated with Comp TIA in any way?

But, I think XFX is for real because I've seen them help people create RMA tickets and whatnot. BTW, props to XFX for being cool enough to start posting on THG forumz. If I worked for a place like that I can't imagine management actually being like "hey, that's a good idea!".
 
It should be. Reading is not a requirement for graduation, why should it be a requirement in real life?


To be fair, Most lvl 1 techs tend to make up information when the "iduno" instinct kicks in.

Sample: Dell lvl 1 tech:
Me: replace my bad memory
Dell: Did you run our diagnostics?
Me: Yes but i didnt show anything wrong. I used PCCheck (known program)
Dell: Dell's memory test only tests the memory under the CMOS (not Bios) environment, so if your experiencing memory issues in windows, it wont detect it.
Me: Huh? Anyway, PCcheck is not a windows based program
Dell: You need to run the rest of our diagnostics and call me back.


Calls Dell: Your memory test shows I have bad ram. Come and replace
Dell: Ok on our way.

What surprised me is that i can actually believe that happening!
 
Dell is our primary supplier... and I can tell you, that is not uncommon.
Likewise, when i was working as a tech in a shop, we dealt with (and still do), many calls to manufactures per week. The best (consistently acceptable) company was gateway... great support over all ( what I mean is, good support that lacks the level of stupidity of the other guys).


To note: this only applies to lvl 1 techs, and some lvl 2s. If you ask for a lvl 2 tech, they should transfer you without being ugly about it.

How many tech levels are there? Is it like some kinda RPG where you gain experience from answering calls and level up?
 
I believe it is standard in most call centers, be it computer support, or AOL, to have 3 levels of technicians.

lvl 1: recruit, training, general experience
lvl 2: Experience in the call center and how to properly provide for the customer
lvl 3: Manager'ish type of technician, well trained in the field, many certs.


I have never hit a tech above lvl 3, (nor 2 for that mater). Since I usually what to say, or what the problem is, I just bully the first guy on the phone to do what I want 😉


I would say if you ever need to escalate a problem beyond a lvl 3 guy, have them transfer you to Customer Relations and let them deal it out. Easier, and you may end up with some extra stuff for your time.
 
Thanks for this 😀

Had the same problem on my Gainwood 7800GS+ 24PP (Gainwood cooler).
Temp. readings all over the place, -242'c :? , 14'c, 48~70'c(idle to full), room temp. 25'c (air con.).
Only happened after I installed the 93.71 drivers.
The card ran like a dog if it didn't have normal temps. (48~).
 
Ahh... this is good information!

I'm dissappointed in BFG from this forum. I always thought that their service was all around excellent. :?

Funny, unlike you guys, when the tech says "remove the fan," I assume he's talking about the extra fan I'd told him that I had installed:

I have been noticing that my card is not up to par with what it should be. Any game I play is really choppy. There was a point where I could shutdown the computer and restart it and everything would be fine. Recently this is not the case and there is poor performance no matter what I try. I have tried most everything to fix the issue. I have reinstalled my video driver and updated it to the latest version from the site (see print screens). I have been checking my temperatures and I also have an add-in fan next to for extra cooling. I have a 600W PS so I would guess thats overkill. Its running at about 112 to 117 degrees consistantly. Nothing really seems to be the matter besides my card. It is seriously running slower than my old video card (which was an ATI radion all-in-wonder something or other). My system itself is running great with no performance issues at all.

Also: google proves that you guys are a bit on the uninformed side
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=7800GS+cold+bug&btnG=Search

The 7800 PCI-E cards clocked themselves WAY down at 32C, and it looks like the AGP version hits the same problem at 38 or 40C.[/quote]
 
Yeah, my 7800GS had exactly the same problem, particularly with the side fan blowing cold air right onto it (the problem was less common with that fan disconnected). The XFX BIOS change solved it permanently.
 
He should have been able to tell him about the bios fix.

If the card isn't heating up, it's because of something. Inadiquate power, drivers, bios, something. It's not gonna roll over and die because it's cold in the fist place (especialy when it has power going through it).

Fire him.

Naw man, it's just like Dell. They've hired 2000 native Koreans whom you can't understand a word. Trying to give her my bank account information (so that she could understand it) was similar to telling a 6 year old how to do something.

It's not her fault, but Dell's. They need to either give people english lessons or not hire them.

Or get call centres in a country that speaks English natively! Preferably not a country that has bastardised it 😀 (It being the English languagae).

Intel < RISC

WTF ?, Intel x86 processors have been internally RISC for ages. All there x64 capable chips are internally RISC, and IA-64 is RISC.

Where did this comment even come from ?, What has it got to do with a 7800GS been too cool ?
