GIGABYTE 6650 XT OC CRASHING REPEATEDLY.
Now I have already built well over 4000 PC builds over last 22 years but it seems the Lambda techs no better, perhaps they do.
Your thoughts please? New card bought from LambdaTek UK 12 days ago, When I first got it (DAY 1) loaded latest drivers and I ran through the normal benchmarks and it was performing as suspected of all registered published results loaded, at the end of day 1 I loaded my games and started playing in high settings then the card started crashing.
Screen went black to start with then PC started resetting and rebooting but this is what happened it killed the AMD firmware so checked the graphics card in device manager and said its was faulty error code 22 as you can see below.
Then after you uninstall the device (card) and reboot again, reenter the device manager and enable the card sometimes the AMD firmware pops up and claims the card is also faulty also.
The card is installed on my fav motherboard gigabyte A520m with an Ryzen 4650G CPU and 2x3600 MHz LPX memory with a 750W Gold PSU inside my fav Montech air 1000 P case its really cold in there.
I know its only PCIE 3 board and the card is only running 8 lanes instead of 16 and the card is PCIE 4 but we are only talking about 5fps OR less as it was tested in a Gigabyte B550 and in a ryzen 7700x system and the card crashes in both systems as well where the new cards don't crash in the above system!
Now some might say its your PSU well HWINFO says its not and the reason gamers should by gigabyte is they have a rather nifty feature on some of their stock OC cards they have a white light that blinks or stays on if the voltage going in is as it should not be and it works if the 8 pin power is not in. So its not the motherboard or the memory or the PSU.
Now after informing lambda-Tek UK it was in my mind faulty they first came up with this crazy idea as follows.
Unfortunately what you are describing can not be
considered as a fault

ON GBT site it states:
* “Boost Clock” is the maximum frequency achievable on the GPU running a bursty workload. Boost clock achievability, frequency, and sustainability will vary based on several factors, including but not limited to: thermal conditions and variation in applications and workloads.
* “Game Clock” is the expected GPU clock when running typical gaming applications, set to typical TGP (Total Graphics Power). Actual individual game clock results may vary.
These are a couple of videos showing the card performance and rating

* If you wish we can ask Gigabyte support to test it for free to verify whether the card has any issues.

I don't understand why the retailer cant test it first its in their terms and conditions that they do, unless they know something we don't?
I love Gigabyte tech and I never asked for a refund I asked for the same card to be replaced because I think its just a one off dud card but what do you guys think?
