Posted July 31, 20159 yr I have a random XFX 3rd party PCB and BIOS here... scores are terrible and GPU-Z tells me that the GPU core and memory controller are both loading at 50%, which kinda makes sense, given the scores i'm getting. It's just this card, so I think BIOS. Platform, OS and drivers make no difference. Has anyone got experience of this and/or ideas on how to solve it? Nibitor doesn't have a "disable bollocks" option Oh... card also has "Turbocache", which i'm not used to and I can't see any obvious options for messing with that.
August 5, 20159 yr Author Well, XFX have no record of the card ("somewhere between end-of-life," files deleted and "WTF even was this?") So... time for the enthusiast community
August 5, 20159 yr Have the same problem with a Nvidia reference 9800 GT, nothing I’ve tried has helped.
August 5, 20159 yr Author Hmmmmm How is load assigned? 50% is very "neat" Could the PCB or some components be damaged? Reballing needed on the die?
August 6, 20159 yr I would check memory first - I have fx5200 with damaged circuit of one memory chip - and it is still operational except being 32mb/32bit instead of 64/64. Probably RivaTuner diagnostic report should be a start point for checking if all specs meet factory settings.
August 6, 20159 yr Worth seeing if it can allocate to all of the memory when at 50% load, good shout. If not then time to bake some GFX?
August 19, 20159 yr Seen a problem like this before and it ended up being a conflict with audio drivers and was fixed by disabling any audio device.
