Re: GTX 560 SLI Artifacts (GV-N56GOC-1GI)

has it done this since changing something?
well if its not temps then it will be driver issue
i just had the artifact thing on mine and tried different driver and cured immediately

I tried every driver from 286.62 to 295.73 including all beta

Does it do this if you set fan speed 70-85%? If so, it might be time to RMA the card before it's too late.

Re: GTX 560 SLI Artifacts (GV-N56GOC-1GI)

Have you tested each card individually in each pci-e slot?
Can you test with a different SLI bridge?
Have you tried under-clocking your video cards to see if this helps?
I'm not familiar with your power supply, can you test with another psu?

My MSI N460GTX Hawk SLI temperatures during Heaven, Furmark and other graphics benchmarks seldom go higher than 50^o - 55^o (C) when overclocked to 900 - 950MHz and using maximum gpu voltage. Average room temperature is 20^o (C).

Fan is set to auto so i think for gpu1 is 100% for gpu2 90% so i should set to 85% ? in SLI it crash after 7 min. just one gfx don't crash.Yes i tried to downlock to 810Mhz and i tried with different SLI bridge (from 990FXA-UD3).I don't know what is wrong but with GB sli bridge didn't crashed and then i changed back to asus one and still no crash or artifacts(that's strange coz i reinstalled asus sli bridge before 1 month and after that i still had problems).I can't test with different PSU (but i think LC power is bad).So i should RMA it ? directly to GB or shop where i bought (http://www.avtera.si take care of GB products but probably if something is wrong they repair it or send it to factory ? and have to wait 45 days)).I allready sumbit ticket to GB is strange they blame EA (DICE) that problem is only shown in BF3 but not also in Heaven DX11 (can i copy/paste ticket to pastebin and show i here?)

Re: GTX 560 SLI Artifacts (GV-N56GOC-1GI)

do you have any extra power slots for help with sli/pcie lanes on that motherboard

Is Avtera a local shop?
It might be best to have your system checked out by a local shop that can test with similar video cards and also test with another power supply.
I assume that you tested each video card individually and that there were no problems when each card ran alone.
Did you also test one card at a time using the second pci-e slot?

Re: GTX 560 SLI Artifacts (GV-N56GOC-1GI)

Does you power supply use one 8-pin EPS_12v or two 4-pin ATX_12v power cables?

Re: GTX 560 SLI Artifacts (GV-N56GOC-1GI)

Avtera is Distributor (and also repair products)
I am using 8 pin for CPU and 3x pci-e 6+8 from PSU and 1 external 6 pin which were near gfx i buy (molex converter)

I will switch gfx position after i get artifacts or crash. And as i wrote in my previous post 1 gfx don't crash in Furmark and in SLI it crash in 7 min. will allso try with another gfx in 1 pci-e slot

Re: GTX 560 SLI Artifacts (GV-N56GOC-1GI)

is your win7 legitimate
altho maybe not as others have this issue on new boards but that is when they first enable sli and not in game
soz

Re: GTX 560 SLI Artifacts (GV-N56GOC-1GI)

Auto fan would not be anything close to 100%. Please use some tool to verify your fan speed, like GPU-z, and then change it with your driver interface or something like MSI afterburner, and then set it to 75-85% and test again.

Re: GTX 560 SLI Artifacts (GV-N56GOC-1GI)

Win7 x64 Ultimate is legit (i don't know what this have to do with gpu render problem) i have enabled SLI like half of year and every time i uninstall driver i also remove any trace of NVIDIA with Driver Sweeper from phyxion Phyxion.net - Driver Sweeper (remove all trace from nvidia (guru3d leave some of it))
Fan is set to auto in MSI Afterburner and will also set to 85% also checked with AIDA64 and RPM and % of fan speed match with MSI Afterburner

Re: GTX 560 SLI Artifacts (GV-N56GOC-1GI)

like i edited it doesnt have your thing so i corrected but lots of problems with win7 hacked and enabling sli
i think yours is temp

I'm not sure what you mean by this.

Doesn't your power supply have four 6-pin pci-e cables?
If it doesn't, I suspect that your power supply is a very cheap unit that might not really deliver anywhere near 850 watts.
Can you provide any links to a review of your power supply by a well known, reputable web site?
My 650 watt and 750 watt power supplies each allow four 6-pin pci-e cables for video cards.
