does anyone recognize what my GPU is doing? it only does this for these 3 games( battlebit remastered, TABG, insurgency: sandstorm) so far. 2023-06-25 04-20-40.mp4 2023-06-25 04-13-57.mp4 2023-06-25 04-18-31.mp4

the system seems to boot fine with my "fall back" card and voltages seem fine, except for when the R9 370 is installed. for the maybe quarter second the machine turns on the voltage spikes past 12v on the solder joints under the 6 pin 12v input and the highest it went the last i checked it was almost 14v is it possible that indicates a dead short to ground through the core or VRM of the card?

this is what im hoping i don't have but the system doesn't even turn on for a second when the card is installed, is it possible that because i was using afterburner its trying to draw more than my corsair cx 750m can dish out and not realizing it/reseting itself because it on for maybe a forth of a second at most? if i got an accurate messurment when i try to turn the system on with the card installed the power connector jumps to almost 14v but i couldn't get an amperage measurement

i recently got an XFX R9 370 off aliexpress and used it for a little while but yesterday ther was some minor artifacting on desktop and minutes after that the entire system shut off. i still have the card i was using before it and the system will power on and pass post with that card installed but will instantly shut off if the 370 is installed. does this mean theres something like a dead short to gound through the core or is it just trying to draw too many volts/amps/watts? the card appears to be in excelent physical condition, the thermal paste is 100% still paste, probably applied by the seller. is it possible for after burning for afterburner to put a graphics card into a "soft lock" like state where the card will try to run too hot/hard and trigger OCP and is the 12v graphics/add in card power connector supposed to fluctuatye up much? can i check the condition of the core by checking resistance?

iirc both kits came from intel based systems edit: i just remebed only one came directly from an intel based system but i think the other wasn't platform specific

ive go an old GA-EP45T-UD3LR (rev. 1.1) and i want to put 16 gigs of ram into it but im not sure if just any 16 gig kit will work in it or if i have to look for something specific, i have a pair of 8 gig kits but my board hates them both assuming they aren't dammaged. gigabyte's website claims it supports of to 16 gigs in a 4 by 4 config

thats what im hoping is wrong, i was just using what ever happened to be incuded, im ganna see if updating/getting a specific driver version will help at all

i recently tried using an old 9300 ge to get a digital video output on my sff optiplex and found out ubuntu 18.04 doesn't like it when the card is installed. when a prgram tries to load something the ONLY thing that doesn't lock up is the mouse cursor and if the mouse cursor has the chance to become the loading bubble the anmation will also freeze but the cursor can still move around the screen, the system will take minute to process whats going on and NOTHING is responsive until the system recovers. what should i do and is this a sign my card has issues its self? evan though linux has a hissy fit if i try to you'd expect a card of this calibre to perform, evan with maxed out clocks while furmark ran at 3 FPS i couldn't see any artifacting in the tiny amount of time i ran furmark. im hoping its a weird driver thing i'll investigate in a little while

i got curious about sli and it's history again and wondered would it be possible to bring back and make better 3dfx's version of SLI( Scan Line Interleave ) with modern hardware? while old SLI has the benifet of potentialy working in most if not all games no matter what with almost perfect performance scaling it brings back a major issue, interleave vs progrsive resolution scaning aka X_Resolution_P vs X_Resolution_i. while interlaced video looked good enough as video unless there was high motion still frames from interlaced video will have issue with alignment of the "fields", while 3dfx's SLI didb't show halves and sequancial frames at the same time field alignment can still pose to be an issue because while it will be the one frame if the cards are synced the fields that make up the image may still be able to shift like a stack of loose paper, meaning evan if someone made something like a "voodoo 5 9000" would keeping timings tight and synced be enough to counter/prevent that or would the output be an incoherent scrolling mess? if somehow the major issues with old SLI could be fixed frame times/resalutions once thought absolutly insane could be made as easy to run as 1080P with a card as absolutly insane as the most likly fake "voodoo 5 9000" 4k( 3840 by 2160 ) reduced 32 times verticaly is 67.5 by 3840 which is a mere 259.2 thousand pixels vs the original 8.29 million of the orginal resolution, now imagine 67.5 by 3840 being rendered on 32 gpus at the same time and than stacked verticaly in order. i know this sounds absolutly insane but lets scale this back some, doing the same thing but with only 4 instead of 32, while yes thats still alot its not completly insane. 2160 divided by 4 is 540, 540 by 3840 is the same pixel count as 1080P. stack four of that verticaly and IF this can be done using four gpus 4K could be rendered with similar frame times as 1080P evan if it cost 4 graphics cards it would potentialy work with most if not all games provided the timing/sync issues could be solved vs nVidia's SLI which reqiures the game to directly support it and the frame time improvments varying wildly. and before anyone asks "how will you combine the four independent video signals into one, theres two ways i thougt of that could work. either it gets passed through each graphics card until eventualy it gets the the last one which will be the only one plugged into via a display cable or a sort of "display squid" could be made to plug into all of the cards and combine the signals that way and if nVidia has control over the pantents for old SLI they could intheory build this into the g-sync module in g-sync monitors meaning you'l only need four cables. i think one way to improve apon old SLI would to be intead of interleaving it GPU1, GPU2, GPU3, GPU4, repeat, each gpu gets one big block and it would be GPU1, GPU2, GPU3, GPU4 end frame instead of repeate till the frame was constructed, having the GPUs work in blocks instead of lines may help a ton with timing and or syncing becuase you just need to sync the first line of the next block with the last line of the previous. i think it be preatty cool though if someone made something akin to the "voodoo 5 9000" graphics card becuase the little poof of its existance show this MASSIVE beast of a card with 32 chips working in tandem evan if its fake a card like that if real would be in a luage all of its own. if that modification to 3dfx's version of SLI works i think i'd just call it something like "SLI 2.0" or think of some way to mention 3dfx in the name without making the name too long like "3DFX SLI 2.0"

I have an old ga-p45t-es3g board and I want to use with an old 771 xeon but I'm concerned about the weak looking vrm not being able to handle a xeon x5482 Edit: removed an extra word

if im right it sounds like a signal/timing pin and not somehing like power, i just booted into windows with my crappy but functional Q9400, its a realy nice board with basicaly all the bells and wistles it could have and has DDR3 slots

the document the one guy linked doesn't seem to be avalible anymore

i have a ga-p45t-es3g with socket dammage and i managed to bend back pin 30G and 30H snapped in half, i think i still have enough of 30G for it to work but 30H is definaty gone, how will this impact system stability and should i replace the socket/get a new mobo? im about to see if there enough system stability for it to run as a daily driver instead of the crappy dell optiplex mobo im cuurentley using.

i recently got a new RX 560 4gig and went through "driver compatibility heck" just for the drivers to work with it at all, but for what ever reason the drivers see it as an RX 550 O_o

is it possible to use my 9300 as a display output so i don't have to use my motherboards VGA output? i was hopping i could do the same thing that linus did with that 1060 based mining card but in reverse, using my iGPU for the actual compute load and the crappy dGPU be the output?
