T3500 GPU crashing
Hi, I just built the following
- T3500
- w3550 CPU
- 8 gb ram (4gb x 2. I have another stick on order)
- 600w PSU
- GTX 460
I'm trying to upgrade to a GTX 660 Ti but it keeps crashing. I've updated bios and GPU drivers. Backed off GPU drivers. Backed off bios. Tried multiple configurations. Device manager recognizes the GTX 660 Ti and says it's working properly. The crashes occur wth GTA V and Deadside. I sometimes get the message "DX11 feature level 10.0 is required to run the engine.".
Note, these games ran great on low settings on my GTX 460.
Any ideas?

Was the GTX 660 Ti purchased used?
-
Jbigticket23 yes it was.

did you try the gpu in another system?
-
Ravay unfortunately I don't have access to another system at the moment. That will be my next step. I went to two different computer shops today and they didn't have test systems either for some reason. Ugh.

Brandon We must confirm that the gpu is good cuz there might be no issue with the system tho if you bought it off of ebay I think you can refund your money and return it

Ravay thanks Ravay. Unfortunately I bought it off kijiji. I bought a $90 HD7980 3gb card a few weeks ago and it didn't work either. Appeared to have water damage according to the computer shop I took it too. So far I've bought two bad cards for as much as a new one would cost lol. Live and learn I guess. Thanks for the advice.

Brandon a 90$ hd79780 bruh what a scam ar rx 580 is like worth 90-100$
-
Ravay Are you from the US? I paid $90 Canadian so like $65 USD. Hopefully that's not too bad of a deal. It's my first build and working or not I agree I overpaid for that card. I got too excited and grabbed the first deal I found.

I'm using the exact desktop, 6GB of RAM SSD 256 GB NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB MSI playing ATS/ ETS2 in DX11 I'm an average of 67 fps
No Crashes at all and cooling systems is good

I had kinda similar problem but I solved it by replacing 6pin to 8pin adapter.
The cables were too thin so I made a DIY 8pin plug(with thicker gauge cable) to power the GPU and now it runs very well.
-
Phil very interesting! I'm having a friend test the GPU's and if they are good I'll try that. Thanks!
