Dell E1705 (7900GS Issues)

Thread Starter 
Well, lately I've been trying to play games with my E1705. They frame rates are very acceptable. But..after about an hour or so. Ill start seeing artifacts. Well, this was very strange considering the GPU (7900GS) is at its stock clocks. So I stopped playing the game to let it rest. The GPU temp peaked at 81c. Im using the current Nvidia GO drivers. Also when I returned to my desktop, this happened.



Only way to get rid of it is by changing the resolution. Any idea why its doing this?

Id google it, but I'm not to sure what to even search for. Any help will be appreciated.

I Got the same problems once, i got mine beacuse i underclocked my 2d clocks and when i switch to 3d the card had to adjust becuase of the great clock "jump" to 3d clocks. My current GS also peaks around 80c or so on stock clocks, but that is my fault, are you sure you are on stock clocks?

What are the factory 2d clocks? Mine are at 100 core 100mem, and my 3d clocks are 375/500.

it is a clock problem or too much voltage.

Its definitely not that clear cut...those lines could be because of low voltage as well...
Anyway, if I'd have to guess in order I'd say its either faulty card, 2d memory problems, throttling problems, drivers

I would tend to point at a faulty card - he's not O/Cing at all using std clocks so looking at that I'd be replacing the card first.

agree with phillby, and even if you discover what the problem is, your current settings are the stock settings so there woulndnt be a normal solution to it.

You might want to give Dell a call and see if they will replace the videocard.
