5870 v1
Is there anything inherently wrong with the ATi 5870 V1 cards.
I have had this card for about a year now, and tonight was the first time I had video tearing + BSOD after playing Dead Space for a few hours. Currently, nothing is overclocked on my system. |

Check your temps and enable vsync (or triple buff) to fix the tearing. I'm not aware of anything that is inherently wrong with the revision 1 5870s but someone with more knowledge may need to address that question.

maybe tearing isn't the correct term then..... i was getting random geometries rendered.
So i exited, went into the CCC and cranked the fan.... then she BSOD-ed shortly after. |

My solution process would be:
1) Make sure you're using the most up to date drivers. 2) Check temperatures and clean out the heatsink shroud if necessary. (Though you really should be doing this once a month or so if you're a frequent gamer.) 3) Underclock your graphics card memory about 30Mhz or so. Recheck after each step to see if the problem is solved. If you have to perform step 3 you might want to consider RMAing your card if it's still under warranty.

Ram problem than
I think a)Ram on card went wrong b)Rams are overheating ,did you clean fan until now?Dust may filled area between fan and heatsink http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/2900/4850hm1.jpg http://www.hardocp.com/image.html?im...5fNF8zX2wuanBn Cleaning fan may help but sometimes manufacturers put a sticker to screw to stop people removing shroud and fan from pcb and invalidate warranty if you do .If theri is sticker send to RMA .

the heatsink the card was far from dirty.
I know just manually set the fan to 50% speed before I game. Seem to correct the problem. I guess I may invest in a Cool It systems video cooler. |
