Are you an owner of ATI 7xxx series and encountering low fps - performance issues that can't be explained ?

System Specs

Good morning to everyone.

So I got a Gigabyte 660 OC 2GB.
Once I installed it on my system and got it booting I tried to game.

Again... the freezing issues were there waiting for me.

A friend of mine which is pretty much into the PC-tech thing advised me to visit him with my rig.

Once there, we started testing and all this jazz.

We finally got to a conclussion after many hours of testing - replacing H/W etc.
Our last chance was to try with a different PSU (an old LAMTECH 550W).

Guess what... my system worked nicely and smooth for more than 1 hour of gaming and simultaneous unigine benchmarking.

Turns out it was the PSU that was unstable of delivering and maintaining the right amount of voltage to the card. I have already sent it back to the store I have purchased it and waiting for a H/W check.

Who could imagine this was the problem and not spending 1 month of his life searching on it ?

Glad you sorted out. If you remember it was suggested to you to check with other PSU although a quality Corsair unit should have worked but you never know.
