Do you guys do it? It would probably add $20 - $40 to the card for travel funds. I have found it through private sellers in which I'd have to travel - I don't know if that's a good idea or not. $250 vs $350 (so about $100 difference) - the Nvidia card, I don't know if I can talk the seller down so I thought I'd go with a $100, assumed, difference. So report back and we can go from there.I know they are not in the 'same league' - the GTX 1070 outperforms it but actually, the RX 580 looks like it holds its own pretty well. that sell power supplies you could pick one up too, and return it (wink, wink sorry micro center) if that doesn't fix things. If you have a computer store near you like a Micro Center etc. The caveat is that they need to have a machine with enough power that meets that GPU's power requirements too.īased on everything you are saying I strongly suspect an issue with the power supply, but time will tell.

Usually you can find a family, friend or coworker to help you out with that if you don't have another machine. From there another good thing to try at this point is take that card out and try it in another machine and see if it has the same issue. Can you give us specifications on what you have for a power supply and it's age? There is a utility from ocbase_com, called OCCT that can be run and generate a report on the power supply and the GPU that could potentially shed some light.

The Power Supply in a situation like this is always suspect. Yes it could be defective card again hard to say as it could be a power delivery issue. Those even when an issue are quick stability issues like blue screens and random restarts. Set any Anti-Virus software to it's game mode if it has one.īios problem I doubt. On older CPU'S I have been amazed at how much more responsive overall the system is with this change alone.ĥ. Plus the added benefit of keeping MS and any 3rd parties they let in on the information out of your business. I recommend disabling it and potentially regaining 5-15% of your CPU'S muscle to go back towards gaming.

None of this existed in Windows 7 because they didn't spy on you back then, so you don't need it now. This disables the behind the scenes Telemetry ( communications happening you didn't authorize or realize is happening, that is wasting your CPU cycles) Just let it change the recommended settings. Download a program called O&O ShutUp10 from oo-software_com. In settings Gaming disable all game functions (DVR, anything on) this is MS Gaming stuff you likely never will use on PC and it runs no matter what you are doing.Ĥ. Then I do the following in Windows to make it even better:ģ. Here are my RX 580 settings that are 100% Rock Solid for me: I have an RX 580 and yes without setting the Power Limit at +50 and using custom fan and temp settings it throttles making it slow and destabilizing the system.
