did u put it on a pcie 1.1 sig mobo..
thats my bet..
not enough voltage since the pcie 2.0 gives more voltages ..

so the core needs more voltage.. my bet..

did u guys try upping the sb voltage and setting ure pcie to 110? before u plug in the card??

@3870 iceq users

I think maybe driver@bios prob la...

cos using 8.1, when playin CnC, suddenly screen went blank, fan shot up to 100%(really noisy)
same prob when oc'ing

i've found a lot of ppl having the same prob at other forums, and there's no solution right now.
(accept get a good bios flashed, and I'm not turning my card into a guinea pig, so I'll just wait 4 a compatible one)

back to old driver now, but Gears of war stuttering is back....=.=

I think then main prob if you oc the card
maybe it's bios locked, prob occur when clocked more than the limit

so, should be fine if you use old drivers + don't oc for now

going back to college now, so, by the time I'm back, new bios/driver should be available...hehe
save me the agony

bought from chee kian btw, the receipt he gave me is from his father's shop
kecik2 dah pandai meniaga

(lol, reposted since this post was last one b4 thread closed)

my mobo is pcie 2, still have prob lor
don't think its the prob...

How much is the current price for the X2. The way I see it this card isn't that worth it. Better wait for the next gen of cards.

I'd be wasting my time...I've read other forums where they tried that

@sniper69

point at your core/mem clock
what bios you're using?
n on what cooler?
