    Do I Need to RMA My Card?

    Yeah same issue as the very beginning, no fps drop but frametime issue that shows as in game stutter. Do MMOs have spikey frametimes? As I have gone deeper into this over the last 2 months. it really looks like it is a driver thing since the 30 series came out. There are SO many people with...

    Do I Need to RMA My Card?

    I'm definitely getting worse frametime than the fresh install in 2 games. One is WoW. Apex as well but it's hit or miss. Doesn't seem consistent. Wonder how normal it is.

    Do I Need to RMA My Card?

    That'd be weird. This issue only started a couple months ago, with the same components that had been working fine for a year. Looks like the was the final piece of the puzzle. RMA'd my card since it was having multiple display errors, changed a power adapter, and the final stutter was one of...

    Do I Need to RMA My Card?

    Right now I have Win10 on an M.2, games on a separate SSD. I guess I can reinstall windows on each one, and only use 1 at a time. I saw in another thread that some people had luck with unplugging their front USB IO. I tried that - unplugged USB 2.0 header, 3.0 header, and HD Audio and now 4 of...

    Do I Need to RMA My Card?

    So I was able to borrow a friends 3070 FE. DDU fresh driver install. I've tried most up to date and old drivers dating all the way back to December. I also uninstalled the Windows 10 update that Nvidia and Microsoft said was causing issues. My Frametimes are still all over the place causing...

    Do I Need to RMA My Card?

    PSU is a Corsair RM 750x. I'll check on coolnquiet. During these past 2 months HWInfo has shown a max of 15c higher in hotspot. So when my gpu hits around 75c max in benchmarking, hot spot is around 90c. I bumped my fans up a while ago so that it doesn't get any higher than that. I have...

    Do I Need to RMA My Card?

    I have updated BIOS and tried the last 3 versions just in case. I've disconnected and reconnected all cables, including trying different ports on my modular power supply. All tests on have had good GPU temp, stable GPU usage/core clock/memory clock, power, and voltage (in Afterburner and HWInfo...

    Do I Need to RMA My Card?

    Yeah, I really wish I had access to another PC or another GPU to test. Covid + moving to a new state kinda botched that though.

    Do I Need to RMA My Card?

    Hello. This is an issue I've been troubleshooting for a couple months now. I have in game lag but my FPS never drops according to FPS monitors. In multiple games, my frames are not smooth and the game freezes for multiple seconds. It doesn't crash most of the time, although it did last night...

    How to enable additional shaders on Radeon HD 6950

    Well I did even more research. The Twin Frozr II isn't unlockable =/ I had seen people say they unlocked their's the day I decided to buy it (since all the ref cards were out of stock) but now, going back to those posts, they typo'd. They meant to say their Twin Frozr III cards unlocked. Lame...

    How to enable additional shaders on Radeon HD 6950

    I have a MSI Twin Frozr II 2gb. I downloaded the 6950mod, made a backup of my card with winflash, put it in the folder, made the modded.bin then flashed but it failed. I restarted and tried the CMD route. Upon entering the -unlock part my screen flashed a couple times then went black. Finally...

    How to enable additional shaders on Radeon HD 6950

    Hi guys. I just recently purchased the MSI Twin Frozr II HD 6950 and a CM Hyper 212+ to start my OCing and GPU mod journey. I've read through this and other threads on the subject. I'd like to thank w1z and the top contributors :respect: first. When I booted up Winflash in Admin I got this...
