Just picked up a 780ti from OcUK (for the frankly crazy price of £250, before they bumped it back up to £320) as an upgrade to my 760, installed it into my system and now dies and restards whenever any stress beyond regular programs I use (chrome/3ds Max/Photshop) is placed on the GPU. I have a 550W PSU which I realise is under the recommended 650W but nowhere has shown much of a draw from the wall beyond 380w so figured it would be fine, just not much headroom for overclocking. I am able to underclock the card to 60% (clock speeds are around 800mhz in GPUz) in PrecisionX but anything above that and the system dies.
I have a horrible feeling that my PSU is badly degraded or was faulty from that start and isnt able to draw enough power. I is a good unit - Coolermaster V550 which is basically a rebranded Seasonic good components 80+ gold 92% 45A on the 12v rail
System specs as follows:
Gigabyte m-ATX Z87
Xeon E3-1230v3
Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB 1600mhz
Samsung 840 EVO 250GB
Crucial M500 120GB
Seagate Barracuda 1TB
x3 Coolermaster Jetflo Blue fans
Xigmatek Dark Knight Cooler + PWM Fan
Dead/dying PSU?
