Hi ! How is that even possible ? I’m really curious… You sold the cards for almost the same price at which you bought them ??? Why would someone buy a used card for almost the same price as new after such a long time ? o_O (By the way, I think you meant two years and not three, because I’ve just...
I’m very surprised at this ! Did someone from ASRock tell you this ? The CPU sensor on my board clearly isn’t stuck. Removing this option is terrible :/
I’ve also seen people with freezes on Ryzen 2000 and B450/X470, also solvable with "Power Supply Idle Control" > "Typical Current Idle" or the latest BIOS updates
Hi,
Unfortunately, increasing the SOC voltage does not seem to prevent the idle freezes for me. I had to increase it anyway since I finally decided to set my RAM frequency, timings and voltage instead of staying on the default values.
Do you by any chance also have the Asrock X370 Taichi? I...
Hi ! Please could you tell me what PSU you have ? I have a 1700X and a X370 Taichi and I have the freeze on idle/low load problem at stock settings ! My PSU is a Corsair RM650x
I would say that yes, a fair number of people have this issue. Especially with Linux (both Linux and Windows for me)...
Hi,
I have a Ryzen 7 1700X on an Asrock X370 Taichi since December 2017, and I have both the segfault bug and the instability problem (crash on idle or low load) on both Windows and Linux. I filled the form for RMA'ing my CPU this week, but I haven’t got a reply yet. For many people, it seems...
Hi ! Sorry for your card :( I’m late, but this black screen / freeze with buzzing sound coming from speakers crash looks very similar to something that happened in 2012 with a defective batch of Radeons HD 7870, especially Sapphire cards. Quite a few people had had the problem at the time, there...
Can we be really sure it's a software problem ? Couldn't it be a completely non-obvious hardware incompatibility between the 980 Ti and for example his mainboard, something which does not occur with the 280X and with 980 Ti in the other system ? It's really a question, I have no idea if this...
Thanks for your answers :)
It finally worked. After some time the list refreshed itself and the Catalyst update was gone.
No, I did not know that Catalyst auto-updates by default. I have never seen it updating automatically. Is this a recently added feature ? I am using version 15.7.1 currently.
Hi,
Do you know a reliable way to have Windows Update in Win 10 stop wanting to install graphics cards driver updates ?
In "System properties", "Hardware" tab, and then the "Device Installation Settings" button, there is an option that might be intended to do that according to some people...
With my Radeon HD 7870, I have occasionally had this issue (seemed really random, no idea how to reproduce it !) on Windows 8/8.1. I don't remember it occurring on Windows 7, and it has never happened again since I upgraded to Windows 10.
I am in the lack of time + backlog of games case. In fact I have been losing interest in video games for the past months. Usually I play games long after their release, which is also an advantage because I don't need to upgrade often, and games can be bought cheaper or even DRM-free. My new...
Thanks, I use Linux too, but had no idea. But you didn't really answer the second part of my question :) They are not the same kind of updates as the ones that are listed in the BIOS updates changelogs (for instance "Update IVB CPU Micro Code" for the board I have) ?
Hi ShintaiDK,
Windows 10 can update the CPU microcode ??? Isn't that located in the flashable memory on the mainboard (UEFI or Firmware ?) ?
I find the forcing of driver upgrades crazy. If it were only security updates, I could still understand, but for drivers ? It seems to be already causing...
So far this driver on Windows 10 is working well for me, except "Use centered timings" which does not work anymore :( I noticed that this part of the CCC changed in Catalyst 12.14, which was a good thing, but this seems to be a regression in 15.7(.1)?
Also if "Enable GPU up-scaling" is ticked...
Hi,
Sorry, this is most likely a dumb question, but I could not find a definitive answer. I have an old Dell XPS 420 PC (from January 2008) whose graphics card I would like to replace. But it is a BTX chassis and mainboard. The card that is inside is a GeForce 8800 GTX, which has its fan on the...
Thank you for asking this question, it is something I wanted to know too. What about the Intel HD Graphics 5500 (Broadwell GT2) in a Core i7-5600U ? To which discrete card would it have a similar performance ? Its architecture is slightly more modern than the Iris Pro 5200, but it has less units...
Dear all,
I've just bought a new Lenovo laptop (T450s) that has an SSD. It is the first time I own an SSD and I wonder if I should upgrade its firmware ? For the time being I only installed Fedora (the laptop came without an OS), and GNOME's disk utility tells that the model of the SSD is ...
Hi,
I have two questions, one specific to my graphics card, and a general one :
1. I noticed that my Sapphire HD 7870 makes the same noise as the one in this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjNXyq4wszE (at 0:13 and 1:15), when the fans start spinning after exiting monitor power saving...
Officially nvidia still supports the GeForce 8 series, but in practice... Try installing recent drivers on a GeForce 8/9, I doubt you won't have problems. Seeing how for many people the drivers were broken for eight months this year for GeForce 400/500 series, this is not a suprise. Everytime I...
Hi,
A question for Radeon users : does the option to force use of vertical sync in the Catalyst Control Center (Gaming > 3D Application Settings > Frame Rate Control) work for you ? If I set it on "Always on", it does nothing at all. I'd like to use it for old games that don't limit their FPS...
Hi,
I have an operating systems exam this week, and virtualization is part of it, but the course that dealt with this had a substitute teacher whose slides are very incomplete... So I tried to write a short summary about shadow page tables and nested page tables using different resources. I...
Hi,
Peter Nixeus is right. Especially check that your cable does not have its pin 20 (POWER) connected. It really can damage your hardware. I did a google search about it the other day for a forum post in french, here are some links that could interest you :
http://www.displayport.org/faq/...
I think it really depends on which review you read (methodology ; which games + which applications are tested ; and newer driver versions make a difference too), but according to the latest tests on hardware.fr, the 7970 GHz edition is faster ...
I think you are right. But it's not really that the prices could go up if AMD dies that worries me, it's simply not to have alternatives. Yes, AMD has probably been mismanaged, doesn't have a good marketing, their CPUs can't match intel's except in some cases, but I've always found their...
