XFX is known to be good quality. But maybe there is a production issue on this type. Are there more players with similar issues? Correction XFX used to be known as a good quality brand .. But man the mighty have fallen! Just take a look at my graphic card (XFX HD 7950 DD) it coilwrines and the cool...

Introducing, god mode

Sorry to hear that

Have you tried to watch the temps. of the core, vram and the vrm ?

Try watching the temps with gpu-z

To me it sounds indeed like an overheating problem, the vram and wrm are know to crash cards

Btw what is you room temp when this is happening?

The upstanding part is to prevent the base from bending. Don't remove it completely. You can do an open structure. Lots of work with a Dremel or something like that. I would leave the base intact, as it is designed pretty minimalistic already. And you need it for rigidity. PS those thick thermal pl...

Just up here in Danmark where i live, it is 30*c and when i played 30 min of Grid AS the graphic max out at 97*c and avg. was 90*c

CPU was at 70*c at the time it hit 97*c

But once i have started, then there is no turning back..! :mrgreen: The parts i would need is quite expensive - as yo...

Yup, it'll be interesting to watch them make this car

Nice card Prepsi only downside I can see is only 2GB memory, I think 3GB is a minimum these days.

Just heard that Porsche is making a top of the line Cayman called the GT4, it is set for release in 2016 Rumor has it that it'll get a 3.8 L twin-turbo flat 6 with 450 hp and only gearbox option is the 7 speed PDK This should be a real trackday monster :2thumbsup: http://max.leftlanenews.com/photos/...
