As the title suggests, the card in question can't run Unigine Heaven, but can run a render test.
I haven't got a game to test it with.
I bought the card cheap as it was not displaying anything for the previous owner.
I connected it into a spare system of mine and it worked, loaded drivers, GPU-z shows correct Bios with all details correct for the card.
I removed the cooler and only 4 of the 8 Vmem chips have thermal pads connecting them to the cooler, at least 3 of the chips are too far away for pads to work, so it appears something may be missing, but I can't find pictures of the underside of that type of cooler.
So apart from what may be a cooling issue, what might be causing it to crash, but still be able to render?
