Creative Geforce Pro DDR
Asus A7V
To cut along story short, overclocked the card a while back (5 months ago) decided to restore back to default settings and no problems until now.
I stopped overclocking the card because I pushed my Athlon 800 a little too far and screwed it up. The geforce was alright until recently.
On startup the geforce bios reports 16Mb instead of 32Mb. The geforce driver panel also reports the incorrect 16Mb.
This happens I'd say 1 in every 10 boots. It seems to be getting more frequent. Sometimes the machine refuses to boot.
I ignored it as I just thought my board was reading the bios wrong.
I decided when it booted up saying 16Mb that I would benchmark it with 3D Mark, noted down the score restarted, made sure it said 32Mb on startup and benchmarked again...
Oh fu*k
'bout 1200 more 3D Mark points which pretty much confirms my suspisions.
The machine is stable and runs benchmarks ok
I have e-mailed creative and plan to get it changed as I am trying to sell the machine, can't really sell it like it is. I might put a cheap TNT2 in it and sell it, then sell the repaired geforce.
One thing, I haven't got the box anymore, have software and manual just no box, is this likely to be a problem?
Thanks
