Hey everyone:
I have an EVGA 03G-P4-2784-KR GTX 780 and I'm experiencing problems.
Here are the machine specifics:
MoBo: Asus Maximus Vi Hero … I have a BIOS setting for 4.6GHz overclock but for these tests I’m running a stock i7 @ 4770K @ 3.9GHz.
Video Card Specifics: CPU HWMonitor indicate a VIN0 of 0.887V and a minimum temperature of 28C and a maximum of 29C
16GB of memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-2133C9D-8GXL. NB Frequency @ 3900MHz Timings are as follows:
DRAM Freq: 1200 MHz
CAS# Latency (CL): 9.0 clocks
CAS# Delay(tRCD): 11 clocks
RAS Precharge (tRP): 11 clocks
Cycle Time (tRAS: 31 clocks
Row Refresh Cycle Time (tRFC): 193 clocks
Command Rate (CR): 2T
Monitors: Two Asus ProArt 1920x1200s … each taking up one DVI port on the back of the card. I have swapped the monitors to see if the problem travels along with the monitor ... it doesn't.
Power Supply: Seasonic SS-760XP2 ATX 760W, 80 PLUS PLATINUM PS
Problem: When viewing a simple video my second monitor shimmers and goes black … recovers … and does it again … sometimes a couple of times a minute … sometimes only a couple times a day. Not only that but the artifacts on the second monitor are terrible as well. I have RMAd this card once … same problem. I also remember, when I purchased a computer from CyberPowerPC, with this same card, I encountered the same thing. A search of the internet also shows I’m not the only one afflicted.
What is going on? At the time this was a $700 card (Ti had not yet come out).
I have installed the latest 337.50 (previous version was 334.89 … but I’ve installed each one as they came out in hopes a fix was found … nope). And, as always … chose Advanced and checked “Perform a clean installation”. I unchecked all of the junk I neither need nor want (3D Vision Controller Driver, 3D Vision Driver, HD Audio Driver and NVIDIA GeForce Experience … leaving only the video driver). And, Ta Da … same old crap.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
