my craptastic 295 does not like anything higher then 1200 mem.  even single card.  it is holding back EVERYTHING.  i can bench 800/1200, and thats it. 

That's always the risk when you RMA.  When my one card wouldn't "boot", I ended up going through three different cards before settling on the third card they gave me (it happens to be my best card now, lol).  But it took a lot of waiting and sending back and forth until I was satisfied.  But again, that was when they had stock of the dual pcb 295's.

You RMA for overclocking performance.
 
Really?
 
Wow ...
 
I guess that's what it takes to get in the top spots.  You may have a disease.
 
I feel sorry for EVGA sometimes; that they have to put up with stuff like this.  Do you RMA/return a CPU which needs too much voltage too?

opinion duly noted..:)

AquaMark3_Vista_X64-Patch

did you patch both files?
and this patch..was it from the link i put up earlier in the thread?

yes and yes.

my direcpll.dll file date is 12/24/05

The program stops responding and this is the errors I get.
 
 

uninstall then do a compatibility install...that may help to understand why it's not working.

i know it wont run on one of my laptops...a nc8430.. nor will 2001se for some odd reason.

No I don't rma for performance.  My card was dead, the replacements (2 of them) would not even finish a benchmark at stock speeds (that's not rma for performance, that's rma for what I paid for).  So I sent them back...I was lucky that the third card was so good.  Lucky.....

Don't jump to conclusions...

Figured  out the problem. Have a 4890 installed to do some ATI Folding and it kept getting hung up with it for some reason.
 
 
Now I have to try and get a screen shot. Print Screen doesn't seem to work very well.

yeah, like evga doesn't test the card before they issue you another replacement... in most cases....

you have mixed cards in this machine?

Yes but the 4890 is not Crossfired. Only 5750s. ATI CCC only see's the 5750s but for some reason when I ran Aqua it would ramp the 4890 up. Not sure why. I just moved the jumper on my ECP to disable.

Shock,  Here is the exact process I did last night (with your help I may add) to get aquamark to run on Win 7.  My link for the patch may be different, but it worked for me.

AQUAMARK 3 WIN7 INSTRUCTIONS
 
Download patch here (zip file):http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=62093
After you unzip it, read the “Read Me” file.
 
If your running in win 7 with the patch (or xp standard)  Ctrl- alt-del after you start aqua open task manager , choose processes tab, find program, right click, set affinity, and enable all 8 threads.
 
If you have trouble saving the print screen of your results:  Right click on the desktop aquamark icon, select properties, then go to compatibility  tab and check all five boxes.  Now when you hit the prnt scrn button you can go to paint and hit ctrl-v to paste the screen shot into paint.


EDIT:  JUst saw you got it fixed, but are having print screen problems.  Read the last paragraph above to get prnt scrn to work.
