It has the solder holes for an 8-pin power plug, but only a 6-pin plug was installed at the factory. I get the above error message before proper POST. vCore is present.

 

I have tried shorting the other 2 pins and I have tried wiring them to the appropriate 2 pins of an 8-pin power plug. Same error message.

 

The PC has booted to Windows literally twice with this card installed, which makes me wonder if there's a bad connection somewhere but i've not been able to find it.

 

How does the card/BIOS decide that the power cable is unplugged? Do false positives exist? Can this check be pypassed?

 

Thanks!

i have a small problem. i buyed 3 GTX 285. Every card works fine.

The next step is to activate 2way sli and 3 way sli. But its not possible in the nvidia control panel. The options dont exsits.

I use a Crosshair iv formula and win 7 64 bit. I tried many drivers': 260, 284, 309, 342 but nothing works. I also treid many Slibridges.

Can someone help me?

I have issues to install Nvidia drivers on B550-E GAMING mboard with Windows 7 and 2 x GTX 580; there is any tips? 

I install drivers 337.88 and 378.92 successfully , GPU-Z saw both VGA but on Nvidia panel there isn't SLI option to enable.

Why ? 

 

Thanks to all

This card has threads all over the net about its inability to work at factory Boost speeds....or even factory base clock. Apparently the first batch are the worst and they can be identified by the lack of backplate.

I picked up one of these and got stuck into figuring out why they suck (sorry, eVGA)

A lot of comments online pointed towards the HDMI firmware and i'm certain that a % of people fixed their problem using the HDMI firmware patch from nVidia.

The MHz issues are real, though. Online comments talking about hacking the MHz away until the card is running nVidia's basic profile of 1126MHz. The finger was pointed at the eVGA Boost table.

I spent a lot of time reducing MHz and having the same blackscreen issue usually very soon after load was applied, regardless of MHz. nVidia's debug mode really really helped and with it enabled, the problem was gone... but at 1075MHz, the GTX980 is being outperformed by a healthy GTX970.

Strangely, applying debug MHz in a BIOS flash didn't give me stability.

eVGA used their own PCB design for the FTW card and after thinking about the problem in a different way and thinking about the PCB squeal that was audible before blackscreen, I tried reducing the voltage.

BINGO!

The eVGA PCB design is messed up and can't handle voltage+load, even though the TDP doesn't get anywhere near 100%. There might be a hardware fix (mllrkllr? Buildzoid? ....Tin?) but I can't see it being pretty.

With the vCore reduced to 1.05v, the card can run towards 1300MHz with no problems...and really nice temperatures. Anyone putting together a modded BIOS should look at the fan profile too. eVGA missed the sweetspot there as well.

 

The MHz are lower than the 1380MHz Boost that eVGA promise...yes... but the card works and that's better than nothing. Higher MHz are off-limits because they need a voltage that the card straight up can't handle.

 

BIOS attached. It's for the FTW card only (any compatibility with other cards is co-incidental and I guarantee nothing) The HDMI fix HASN'T been baked in. MIght get around to that.

 

Flash at your own risk. If unsure of the steps involved, please ask for advice or don't do it.

 

Card boosts to a very solid 1265MHz (bit of breathing space for different ASIC quality) and the RAM is set to 1850MHz (again, breathing space) Fan is set to 20% idle, moving up to 30% at 44 Celcius. vCore set to 1.05v for all Boost states.

I have encountered this lovely message for the first time. In-Windows attempts have been done with the card (GTX980) disabled in device manager.

I've tried nVFlash 5287 (certificate bypass) and 5.59 board ID mismatch patch.

 

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get around this? :)

I got a batch of dead GPUs. Some seem more dead than others, and I suspect that some of them have faulty VRAM. Once in a while I find cards that run less unstable when underclocking the memory, which is not important for my use anyway (Folding@Home). So, the question is, are there people out there who could modify RTX 20x0 BIOSes to run the VRAM, say, on half speed compared to stock? if I could get a couple of them to run reasonably well, I'd be very happy.

But how can see the clocks on 3D , I dont use msi afterburner.

I need check my clocks and voltaje , for sure the new clocks at working.

However the igp is disabled in ln2 mode to prevent damage from cold bug killer volts. As I understand there were special bioses for the GOC comps that allowed full voltage control without disabling the IGP. Does anyone have a copy for m10a and m9a that they'd be willing to share or know where they are hosted?

I have replaced the capacitor and its still not booting, not even getting power to the core itself. Are there any common faults I can look up with these cards or like I already assume is the card more than likely done with?

Any advice on where to start would be appreciated :)
