Title: Is my graphics card dying - advice please! Post by: aar on January 07, 2018, 03:08:27 PM I have a box with 6x560's (yes, they're slower than the 580's).
All are undervolted / running cool at 12.5MH/s. They have been OK for ~2 months. Over the last week, 1 card starts jumping up and down, and running at 11MH/s, and keeps slowing down over maybe 3-4 hours to ~10.5MHs, then crashes. I've updated the BIOS back to stock (now it runs a lot hotter - ~80 degrees instead of ~60), thinking if I need to return it, it should have stock bios (still within warranty). So, - I think the card is dying, but it's not dead yet. It has not yet crashed since being returned to stock - but looking at the trend / spikey-ness, I suspect it needs a half day to drop down enough to crash. - Is this RMA'able? At what point can I RMA? I do not want to keep running a card this hot. How would I even describe this fault? Title: Re: Is my graphics card dying - advice please!

If all cards do 12 except for one you could set clocks on that card lower then the other five. Msi afterburner or smos will let you do that. Also the riser could be failing Title: Re: Is my graphics card dying - advice please! Post by: Bazzaar on January 07, 2018, 04:15:24 PM Swap the position of the card with that of another good card.
Does the bad performance move with the card or is it any card in a particular position that has issues? As the other poster said, suspect the riser, they have a poor reputation.

will try it in another slot :( Title: Re: Is my graphics card dying - advice please! Post by: m1n1ngP4d4w4n on January 08, 2018, 08:29:40 PM What do you use for PSU (power, cable management, etc...)
Motherboard model ? powered risers and/or mobo with added molex ? Tried the card solo ? |
