yes i saw the thread in overclock.net earlier
they say that the issue has been resolved with newer drivers(catalyst 10.3 onwards)

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Oh great, but mine crashed on 10.5, 10.7 and it was becoming worse, later it crashed even with crysis, and crashed with furmark and occt(which it had passed earlier), my money's on a degrading component more like a faulty memory chip, I guess its no big deal after all a few thousand cards are bound to go wrong and guess my card was one such, but the card was sweet, crysis warhead enthusiast shaders no aa and framerate never dropped below 30, super sweet.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@Tkin
afaik there are two causes for gsod
1)Software bug(currently resolved by newer catalyst)
2)Faulty hardware normally in the first batches of HD5xxx reference cards
the object at fault in general are the memory chips!!
that is why it is often advised to people to get higher priced non reference versions over reference cards
since the 3rd party companies like msi and gigabyte extensively check their hd5xxx chips for known anomaliies before modding them finally!!

the card you bought at hat shop must have been one of the first batch, hence the gsod
don't worry you've done the right thing rma'ing the card
most likely they will send you a newer batch reference xfx 5850
till then, hold tight!!:)

That's the best case scenario, hoping for the best, although mine was a non reference one but maybe from the first batch(though it did say ver 3.1 on the box), wish that they send me a new replacement from the production lines:fc_bat: the new batch is surely to have corrected those hardware faults. If it happens again(god help me) :censored: I'll check it out in my friend's system, previously I had an issue with my rams and the mobo, later asus brought out a bios update that had a compatibility fix with that specific brand of ram only, but maybe its the rams(always wanted an excuse to get OCZ/corsair rams) :meditate:

What's weird is that this is the best rated HD5850 in new egg, this HD5850 comes up first if you sort the HD5850 search page in new egg according to best rating, not even a single 1/2 egg review.

Look at the first card: *www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList...7320 600007601&IsNodeId=1&name=Radeon HD 5850

This is the model: *www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150477

Well,welcome back! :)

Hmmmm...in that price range, u have the GT240 1GB from the nvidia stables,or u could go for the HD5570 1GB from ATI. Also,u might actually pick up a HD5670 1GB for around 5k,if you're lucky :D
Happy hunting... :p

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Thanks Mukherjee saab for the quick reply. my vendor quoted 7200 for GT240 and 5600 for ati 5570. for 9600 gt 512 he quoted 5400. am a bit confused as to what to buy. also i suppose all these pci-e 2.0 cards will work on my pci-e 16x mobo.

am trying to search for reviews on digit. ;) help greatly appreciated.

regards,
Vinit

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Ok guys, here's the infamaous GSOD(gray screen crash) on my HD5850 when running Crysis warhead maxed out, this it what it looks like firsthand.
Recorded the video and showed to the distro, they didn't even get a chance to argue. Now I'll post this video throughout the forums all over the web, time for some payback :twisted:

Crash around 35 sec and more later.

PS: I also have a video of crashing in furmark and kombustor, but crysis fail shows better.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I was watching the GSOD video by TKIN, and had stepped away. Sound was on. When the loud irritant sound came on, I thought my system had crashed, turned around in panic. Relieved to see it was Tkin's youtube. Thank god. Freaky. Almost spilled tea on my self. Heck.

Which all drivers and methods you had tried..?
Click to expand...
Ok, here's what I've done;

1.Catalyst 10.5(fresh install after driver sweeper).
2.Swiped and reinstalled catalyst 10.5
3.Reinstalled 9800GTX+ and tried benchmarks and such.
4.Swiped and installed cat 10.7(was avoiding it due to borderlands memory leak).

Crashes kept increasing and bam, crashed with crysis(which it never did until then).

Gave it for RMA, from now on no more power virus for me, I'll just run furmark 1280x1024, no msaa, postfx and xtreme burning mode turned off to test the stability.

PS: What do use to test the stability of your graphics card? For the 9800GTX+ I use furmark maxed out, but it may be overkill for my HD5850. Running crysis may help but its not always feasible.
