Because when Nick said this: "RMA it and get a better video card for the same amount of money."
You said this: "no reason to RMA your card, that card should work just fine in the system it's in."
It was like you were trying to immediatley shoot down the idea of this guy upgrading from a 5700U through RMA. If thats even a doable thing.
Look, I am an easy going guy, but I call em like I see em. You know I would go out of my way to help someone. As I did with you one time.
No offense intended Sneaky. Nick & Pete both were trying to tell this guy to RMA his card just for the sake of getting a better one. Why bother getting his current one to work when he might upgrade potentially. And if and when he does RMA for a better card and the problem still occurs, we will help him then to if he asks.
Dalilama, as for your problem, check the temps of your core in the nvidia driver applet before and after you run a game. Check and make sure your core is set to 475 in 3D mode and 900 in memory. Thats stock speed for a 5700U as far as I know.
If temps are normal ( idle can be anywhere from 45 to 60 ish and 3D can shoot up to 75) check cables and connectors.
Start with that first. Let us know what you find.
