Hi!
I am looking for some help regarding troublw with my factory oc'ed Calibre X580.
The card crashes in World of Warcraft and I read in some forums that the cause might be the overclocking. Some say it runs fine when using MSI Afterburner to lower core and memory clock. Other say raising voltage a bit might help.

My plan was to read the cards BIOS and modify whether the voltage or the core/memory clock.

Anyone of you heard about the problems with factory overclocked gtx 580's or especially know how to handle the problem with the Calibre X580?
Would modifiying the bios help?

Before you go through the hustle of BIOS flashing, I suggest you do some testing to make sure it's the card's fault. not a driver\game\malware related issue.

You can try raising the voltage a little bit using an OC program (like MSI afterburner). Then use a stressing program (I use furmark) to stress the card for 10~20 minutes.

The OC shouldn't cause crashing at all unless there is a problem with not enough voltage on the factory settings. Like the guy above said; I wouldn't touch bios flashing at all. I highly doubt you need a new BIOS. You're most likely having driver conflicts or an OC with not enough voltage.

Did you do a clean install of drivers when you bought this card? What card did you have before it?

Also - fill in your system specs in the control panel and tick the share it button. It's hard to tell what's going on without all of that information. Be thorough :)

Thx

Thank your for your replies.
I will test upping the voltage slightly and do some stress testing before flashing the new bios that Calibre provided me recently.

Straight to rma imo. If it can't deliver the factory oc performance, youre getting ripped off with a bad card.

And if you brick a 580 by being a retard and falling for the BIOS FLASH WILL FIX ALL fad... then I will come to your house and punch you in the face... BIOS flashes do not fix anything 99.99999% of the time, their used by experienced users to modify certain things that you have no business messing with.
