AMD 6950 going out?

BR3W3R · Nov 22, 2012, 11:05 PM

So over the last month or two i have noticed a slight lag in videos, and now videos sometimes load and sometimes do not load, and also now when i start up computer or wake it my screen is pink, but generally only in the top corners.

Is my graphics card dieing?

FreedomEclipse · Nov 22, 2012, 11:21 PM

tried reinstalling the drivers?

:/ Sounds like almost the same symptoms when one of my GTX 460s died. Still useable (except if trying to play a game or watch a video) when everything turned pink and then lines appeared. Whenever I tried a game or video it would freeze or BSOD.

IMO I would try different drivers if I were you. If that doesn't help then it sounds to me like a dying card unfortunately

The lag started with the previous drivers and then i updated, and it still lagged and now the pink is getting worse every startup.. Whites appear to be slightly pink too.

Also i ran 3dmark 11 and one of the tests caused the screen to turn pink and green.

I dont know if that is any help.

sounds to me like it could possibly memory corruption on the graphics card.

Unfortunately theres no easy way to solve this that doesnt require an RMA or an upgrade.

If you cant RMA it, go and buy a 7950

Youtube videos sometimes load though perfectly fine, and at other times it does not, do you think this is also a problem of my graphics card? MY download speed is 20, upload is 2, and ping is 15

BR3W3R · Nov 24, 2012, 07:30 AM

Anyone have any info on the issue i stated above?

try updating flash. Flash was problematic with AMD cards with certain drivers.

BR3W3R · Nov 24, 2012, 07:11 PM

Already running newest flash. Any other suggestions?
