HD7870 PCS+ Problems

Since you've got 7870 consider overclocking your 955. That gear should easily handle it if you got an aftermarket cpu cooler
 
Ebuyer have solved it, it was something to do with the card being faulty. As when i gave them the information to do with my setup 2 x 21.5" monitors and you connect them both at the same time through the dvi ports on the card and leave the computer to idle. They found the same problem that I had. The card would not go past 20 minutes being left alone.

So they have sent me a replacement which I have just installed all of about 10 minutes ago, drivers installed and ready to go

Im happy to hear that!!!

i would apriciate a like this on the post i've made. gratitude does go a long way.

after all it was my solution!

nevertheless at least you fixed it!
 
crysis NOT averted. I am still having the same problem even with the brand new card that ebuyer have sent me. So at the moment i am waiting for ebuyer to test the card on a brand new build, with no previous ATI being installed on the computer and see what the result is.

As the returns guy at ebuyer that I have been speaking to about the issue believes it could be a driver issue, or a Chipset issue.

I have tried the card without any drivers installed, using the Windows Install Cleanup Utility to get rid of every AMD driver found on my pc, which I have done and after testing the card for 20 minutes. The card failed on the dual screen test, after about 10 minutes.

Ebuyer have to replicate these results, before they can contact their own supplier. Who can then in turn contact Powercolor the manufacturer of the card and say that there is a problem either with the drivers or the Chipset.

I will keep this topic up to date, as I hear the results of the tests from Ebuyer.

The only others option that I currently available to me is the following:

1. Return the card and buy a completely different card such as a Nvidia GTX 570/580 card - this idea is alright apart from I would much rather prefer the Ati 7870 which i currently have.

2. Return the card for a full refund, and wait until the issue has been solved. As because I have raised in with Ebuyer and they can replicate the same results, they will still look into the issue if I return the card.
 
Much aprriciate the likes mate!!

keep me posted on what Ebuyer has to say.

will continue to help till thing ARE sorted.

enjoy the weekend.
 
By the way your card is the "bee's dick" its awasome, real sweet specs so i wouldnt replace is for anything less.

furthermore regarding your issue:

what driver are you using , and other version you've testd?

if the secound monitor is connected but turn off does it still crash?(thinking it a signal issue)

i will look into your chipset for known compatabily issues and get back to you.
 
ok, I will keep updated as I hear from ebuyer however that wont be until next week..

I thought it was a rather good deal from ebuyer for the price that they had it on sale for, and its still a rather large upgrade from my old card the 4890. Although it is still slightly more powerful than the GTX 570/580 that I was thinking of changing the card for.

However I don't intend on changing the card, especially if I have anything to do with it
