Title: I may have a issue with my 6950 2G Post by: LUZR4LIFE on May 25, 2011, 10:20:07 PM I have a 6950 2G reference card and for some reason when I am mining and try to watch a movie etc, my system freezes and I have to restart. Does anyone know what maybe causing this? On my 6850 1G I can mine and watch video without any issues.
Thanks Title: Re: I may have a issue with my 6950 2G Post by: mewantsbitcoins on May 25, 2011, 10:22:53 PM Lower the aggression and ask these questions on the mining board

The 6xxx series have a known problem where they freeze when anything else tries to use the GPU.

in general, try keep you GPU saturation under ~92%. p.s. about 69x0 specific. similary behaviour 58x0's. its more depend on driver verions, than HW. some was hang, somw was not[usually, drivers w/o kernel-space thing. "atimdagxxx.sys" or something like].

And though I've had the problems with my 6990, I never saw anything similar with my 5870 nor 5970 Title: Re: I may have a issue with my 6950 2G Post by: Iceredwing on May 25, 2011, 11:26:44 PM If you are using flash to watch video, right click on it and disable hardware acc. If you are using video players with GPU acc. then I suggest using VLC as long as your CPU can handle your playback needs. GL
