Sorry for the late response folks, and again, thanks for all your help and advice. I suspected that the OS was to blame as everything else seemed fine, so last weekend I installed Windows 7 on a spare hard drive I had in the PC, the GTX 980 has run without a hitch since then. Hopefully...

Moved the graphics card to the next slot and no difference. :confused:

Yes, low frame rate again sadly.:( I've been into windows system configuration to block a lot of the stuff that kicks in at start up (I use Windows 10) that's not done anything. I swapped the graphics card modular connection on the PSU just in case that was a problem, but that's not cured it...

Did this check earlier, PC had been running for over two hours when I tested it. GPU temp - 60 degrees GPU usage - 92% CPU Temps - cpu 1 - 0 cpu2 - 41 cpu3 - 43 cpu4 - 42 cpu5 - 39 cpu6 - 41 cpu7 - 42 cpu8 - 38 CPU usage - 0 - 3% on first 5 cores 38% on 6 0-3 % on 7th and 8th

Just running MSI Afterburner whilst running Heaven, but it only shows GPU temp as 60 degrees?

Downloaded Rivatuner and it's an out of date version, do you know of an alternative? Thanks. :)

Hi, According to CPUID core temperatures range from 43 to 51 degree C.

Thanks for your prompt responses guys. PC has been on for a couple of hours now, just installed GPU temp utility, it is showing 61 degrees. I've run Heaven 4 benchmark again, maximum was only 57 frames. GPU temp rose to 63 degrees whilst on test. This is with the 7970 card fitted. I thought...

Hi folks, thanks for the replies. I'm having problems with both my cards, actually, I think they are both alright but maybe the problem lies elsewhere. I've posted another thread about that, any advice would be appreciated. Here's the link.....CLICK

This is my rig...... Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z Motherboard Intel Core i7-2700k CPU Gigbyte HD7970 3GB Graphics Card fitted (ASUS Strix GeForce GTX 980 4GB Graphics Card removed for now) Corsair H100 Liquid CPU Cooler AData S511 240Gb Solid State Drive 16Gb RAM ( 4 X 4Gb RipJawsZ...

Tried a re-install, it briefly increased framerate then frame rate dropped when I tried the 'Gamer' option in GPU tweak. :(

Hi thanks, uninstalled the ATI drivers with DDU in safe mode, used the option for fitting a new card, then installed the Nvidea drivers. I'll try a re-install though.;)

Hi folks, Just fitted a ASUS Strix GeForce GTX 980 4Gb graphics card today as an upgrade from a Gigabyte 7970, having a weird problem though...... Bench-marked the 7970 on War Thunder average of 116 frames, minimum 70.4. Fitted the GTX 980 bench-marked at 211.3 average, 122.8 minimum. Great i...

Thanks for all the advice guys, i'm out of touch with the latest GPU's. When I built my rig the 7970 was the way to go. My budget is around £200 - £250 (found some spare cash!)that's without selling my 7970. So I could go to £250 then sell my 7970 to recoup some money.

Hi folks, I have a Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 7970 graphics card. I'm looking for some extra performance on a limited budget. Do add another 7970 in crossfire configuration, or go for something like a MSI AMD Radeon R9 290 4GB TWIN FROZR IV Graphics Card? I'll almost certainly be buying second...

Finally got my Bushmaster DAC up and running today, one word description.....AWESOME! Burn in periods vary. I started music looping this afternoon, i'm leaving headphones on low volume for approx 48 hours.

Hi Guys, Tried my usual VLC media player and Windows media player with optical connection set as default, still no joy.:( Latest drivers installed, this has really got me puzzled and frustrated. So it seems i have two options, either get a budget sound card with SPDIF out, disable on...

Exactly;). I'm going to buy an adaptor, people using laptops with no SPDIF link their DAC's using an adaptor that retails for under £30.

Because it hasn't got USB? The earlier models had USB these don't. It seems some people are using cheap (but effective) SPDIF to USB converters and are happy with the results.

Beresford Bushmaster MK2 gets great reviews. Approx £180 (inc VAT) but it's optical or phono only, can't get it to work with SPDIF on my ASUS mobo though.:( Maybe an adaptor is the solution?
