K404 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 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.

K404 Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleslammer Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Have the same problem with a Nvidia reference 9800 GT, nothing I’ve tried has helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K404 Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Hmmmmm How is load assigned? 50% is very "neat" Could the PCB or some components be damaged? Reballing needed on the die? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraRaptor Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObscureParadox_3XS Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickolp1974 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Seen a problem like this before and it ended up being a conflict with audio drivers and was fixed by disabling any audio device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
