GTX 670 PE closing the games

I have a GTX 670 PE, which seems to not hold over that she already came from the factory, when I play the games after a while close with an error, I have another 670 of the same model and it works perfectly, the problem only occurs with her equally if I increase too much the clock.
I realized that the version of the bios is different.
1° MSINV284MS.1A0 - 80.04.5 c. 00.29
2° MSINV284MS.122 - 80.04.31.00.46
The 1° is the Board that is presenting problems. Which one is the latest bios? I wonder if you could be this the problem?
Excuse my English, I'm from Brazil.

  • After updating to windows 8.1 the games I played wont start

    Good day,
    Im new to this stuff, i recently updated my windows 8 to 8.1. After updating the game that i was playing works just fine. After a few minutes an update was done on something(i dont know what that was) Then I closed the game becuase it froze or something.
    then when i open it again, it says " Rome: Total War failed to find DirectX 9, which is required for the game to run. Please reinstall directx"
    After that I tried to open another game that i was playing (The Asian Dynasties:Age of empire 3). A window pops up and says
    "Age of Empires III requires at least a 64 MB video card. This computer appears to have a 0 MB video card. If you wish to upgrade your computer, please contact your computer manufacturer for any necessary assistance.
    System information: 1900 MHz, 3968 MB, 0 MB  (vendorID 8086, deviceID 166)"
    There where two choices buttons in the window one says "attempt to run" and the other says "exit game"
     So i selected attempt to run then it says that "Initialization failed. Direct 3d initialization failed" and there list of possible causes to it.
    These two games work perfectly fine before i updated my laptop to windows 8.1. I tried measures to correct the problem on Rome total war like installing a directx package which it said to have installed previous versions of directx's but the game wont still
    work. i also tried troubleshooting it all it does is change its compatibility then it still says that directx 9 is missing. i read more furoms but i cant find a right answer.
    please help,
    JC

    Hi,
    In your situation, I think you should make sure that you have the latest version of the Age of Empires III software, just as the article talks about:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907881
    Besides, after upgrade to Windows 8.1, I suggest to upgrade the graphic card driver accordingly from the official site of graphic card manufacturer. Meanwhile, download the DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer(also for Windows 8.1) from the site below:
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35
    The Microsoft DirectX® End-User Runtime provides updates to 9.0c and previous versions of DirectX — the core Windows® technology that drives high-speed multimedia and games on the PC.

  • The Game Center is "unable to load data due to network connectivity issues or errors".

    The Game Center is "unable to load data due to network connectivity issues or errors".
    My internet is fine: all other apps that do not rely on the Game Center work, as does my browser and other online functions; additionally, a friend's iPhone connects to his Game Center perfectly while he is sitting next to me.
    Closing the Game Center app and then reopening it is ineffective. Opening the options for the Game Center in the settings, logging out of my Apple ID, then logging back in, and then reopening the Game Center is ineffective. Opening the options for the Game Center in the settings, logging out of my Apple ID, then reopening the Game Center app and logging back in from there is ineffective.
    This issue has gone on for more than a month, and so the phone has gone through all variations of "turn it off then back on again, refresh the system, etc etc" that are the basic first suggestions for trouble shooting.
    One game app, which required a Game Center profile to launch, stopped working entirely, and would return a message saying something like "connect to the Game Center". I eventually deleted it to free up space. Other games which can be linked to the Game Center to connect with friends simply fail to link, returning "Game Center unavailable". This is the aspect that is currently bothering me the most: I cannot play games with friends unless the app can also link to Facebook and connect to friends from there.
    When I open the Game Center, I see the following screen. The bubbles float gently, and it seems as if I had the ability to update my "status". However doing so results in a message that has vanished once the app is reopened.
    Upon tapping Games, either the bubble from the main screen or the option on the ribbon at the bottom, the following screen appears. Clicking on Challenges shows a message that achievements must be viewed to issue a challenge. Clicking achievements results in a message that games must be connected (and from my friend's phone I know I have several apps that should appear).
    Upon tapping friends, it does show me a list of suggested friends pulled from Facebook, but attempting to send a friend request results in the following screen. After accepting the error box, the "send" button for the request is grayed out and unavailable regardless of adding or deleting friends and/or an accompanying message.
    In short, the Game Center is completely unresponsive for no discernible reason, and this problem began with no warning and is now long term. Though my iPhone is older (a 4s), my friend's is even older (a regular 4) and works fine.

    I am having the very same problem on my iPad running ios 7. All is fine on my iPhone it opens no problem - this is running on ios 8. I wish they would fix it.

  • I updated my I-pad 1 to the new software and it wont let me open up one of the games (Dream Fish) How do i fix this problem?

    I updated my I-pad 1 to the new sofware for it and now one of my apps (Dream Fish) will not open how to I fix it?

    Assuming that there isn't an update for the app that you should download - and you did check correct. .... You can try closing the game in the recents tray and then reboot the iPad. I know you said it will not open, but I also assume that it crashes when you try to open it, and it should still be in the recents tray.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Why I can't get in the game ?

    When I buy The Walking Dead Ep I can't get in the game anymore why

    What happens when you try? And when you say when you buy it, do you mean that you've just bought it and you haven't yet been able to open the game (in which case have you tried deleting it and re-downloading it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app) ? Have you tried closing the game via the iPhone's taskbar and seeing if it works when you re-open it, and/or tried a soft-reset by pressing and holding both the home and sleep buttons for 10 to 15 seconds until the Apple logo appears ?

  • MSI GTX 670 Nvidia driver stopping

    I have started getting errors "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered."  This happens when playing World of Warcraft, and I have also been able to recreate it using the Heaven Benchmark.
    I have taken these steps
    1. Re-installed windows 8.1
    2. Run windows memory tests
    3. Installed current nvidia drivers
    4. Reverted to previous nvidia driver
    5. Run benchmarks, including Heaven which recreated the error
    Did a lot of reasearch on the web, there are solutions from changing the registry time out to upping the voltage to the GPU, have been hesitant to do these, because first doesn't seem like i should have to up  the time out, and second, not sure how to safely up the voltage.
    There is some information about another BIOS for the GPU, saying something about fixing a MOBO  compatibility issue.  Should I be downloading this and if so how?  Couldn't get live update 5 to show VGA BIOS, and live update 6 doesn't seem to run on my computer
    I'm looking for any suggestions on how to fix this
    Thanks

    Thought I would do a summary so you dont have to read the whole post.
    My MSI GTX 670 started getting the following error:
    Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.
    This occurred when playing WOW and in the Heaven Benchmark.
    Per your recommendations, I have done the following with no success
    I uninstalled the display driver using DDU in safemode, and reinstalled the recommend driver.
    I moved the board to another machine,  the heaven benchmark had the same problem. 
    Put my GTX 560Ti in my main computer, no issues
    RMAed the board
    Received a returned board from MSI with a different serial number
    Put it in my computer and had the same error using the Heaven Benchmark
    provided the s/n and vbios of the new board
       s/n 602-V284-030B1302117626
       BIOS version
        80.4.92.0.9
    Ran Prime95 on my computer for 7 hours in blended mode and 12 hours in low FFT mode, no issues
    Moved the new board to the other computer, problem occurred
    Just trying to figure out what to do next

  • GTX 670 PE OC - Game Crashing

    I have had this card for close to 6 months, and have just started experiencing issues with crashing. I constantly get the TDR error and sometimes have to actually force the computer to reboot otherwise the screen will just stay black. I can move the mouse and see the secondary display but nothing shows on the primary display but the taskbar and black screen.
    My current setup is as follows
    i5 3570K
    16Gb Corsair 1600
    MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming
    670 PE OC
    Corsair HX750
    CM Hyper 212 Evo
    Rosewill Blackhawk Case
    I did run Memtest and found that I had some bad RAM, so I replaced it ran Memtest again and everything checked out fine. I also ran the Intel stress test for an hour and found no issues.
    I had this card in an Asus P8P67-Pro before and had no issues whatsoever.
    Also I just bought an Asus VG23PQE for my primary monitor, could the 120 - 144Hz display rates be causing the issue?
    For example, last night I played Metro Last Light for over an hour with no issues, then suddenly the game crashes to a black screen. Cannot open task manager or anything, the black screen covers all applications. I have to either sign out and then sign back in using CTRL+ALT+DEL or manually reset the computer. Also if I sign out and then sign back in, if I try to relaunch the game it immediately crashes. I have to reboot the computer in order to play any games.
    I was using driver 320.18 then I tried the latest Beta 320.49, then back to 306.xx and always have the same issues of crashing. Could it be the motherboard causing all the issues? Just getting really frustrated as this seems to keep happening regardless of what I try to do to fix it.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I checked the pins extremely closely and they are spot on, I re seated the CPU and cooler and used Prolimatech PK-3 this time instead of Arctic Silver 5. As a side note I have to say that this thermal paste is quite a bit better than AC5. I am old school so I have been using Arctic Silver since the Williamette days with RDRAM when I would spread the stuff on the CPU heatsink. I tried this time just using the vertical line method.
    Anyways, I think it is all down to the Nvidia driver causing the crashes, I actually have installed a MSI GTX770 Gaming and am no longer, thumbs crossed, having the issues. It seems that the 770 runs cooler at idle, and if I ramp up the fan speed it is much quieter than the 670. I think that the mobo is fine, again possibly the Nvidia drivers?
    As a side note, flobelix I also have the 830 256Gb drive as my primary.

  • GTX 670 PE - Does not transmit the image - Stopped working and has recovered

    First excuse me for English.
    I bought my gtx 670 last year, and everything worked fine but sometimes with blue screen, thought it would be a mismatch. Before yesterday, when I was playing, the screen went black and the message appeared that he had recovered. I uninstalled all drivers and reinstalled all to the latest version 334.89. When I start my computer does not appear any image. The monitor seems to receive the signal from the board, but does not transmit. Replaces it with my old gtx 460 and it worked perfectly. I removed one stick of memory, and for a few minutes I thought I would have solved my problem until the screen goes completely black again. Updated the bios to latest version of the motherboard. I'm not sure what is happening. I'm hoping not to be anything wrong with the video card. Could someone give a hope on this video card? Or is she really dead?
    motherboard- GIGABYTE Z68X-UD4-B3
    Graphics      - MSI 670 GTX PE
    memory       - 8gb Kingston 1333 Mhz
    HARD DRIVE - 1TB seagate
    PSU              - Corsair 800
    CPU              - Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz

    Good morning,
    Yesterday and today were the day of testing.
    I put the video card in another machine and got a better response.
    In my current machine can not see the bios when I start the machine.
    On another machine I can see the bios and I can spend some time with image, but spending a few minutes the screen goes black also.
    I did a stress test and then the screen went black. The temperature was 40 degrees.
    I'm guessing the card is actually faulty.
    Any idea for new tests?

  • Will there be a Twin Frozr version of the GTX 670?

    So i'm looking to build a new PC soon, and was wanting to get a Kepler graphics card. I can't quite afford a GTX 680, but i've always liked the Twin Frozr series of cards/coolers that MSI do. Given that the GTX 670 they've already released looks mostly stock but is already factory-overclocked, and given the slightly odd form factor of the 670 reference card (the base PCB being much shorter than most cards, with the fan actually sitting behind the PCB and making the card seem 'normal' length) are we likely to see a Twin Frozr version of the 670, or is the current version MSI produce likely to be the only one we get? If we were looking at similar timescales from reference card release to Twin Frozr release as the 680 i'd have hoped to have seen the 670 version by now.

    Cool, ta. I googled for 'MSI forum' and somehow managed to miss the 'Users-to-Users' part of the title. Fail on my part. I actually already have a query open with MSI Support but didn't seem to be getting a reply. Theoretically they're ignoring me as they can't answer my question for whatever reason, or they're just really busy.

  • Another GTX 670 Red Screen

    I am also having this same issue, but I am NOT running Afterburner, or anything. All I have is CPUID HWMonitor+ and CPUID CPU-Z... I was also having this issue without those installed. I have done 4 clean installs in the last week and half (since I built this system) and nothing has solved it. Customer Support did tell me I could RMA both of MSI GTX670OC's and they'd happily replace them. I just need to get to UPS and ship them out. I am not looking forward to not playing any games for a while though. :(

    Sorry I haven't responded in so long. I RMA'd the cards out to the guys in California, and Henry at MSI was a pretty cool dude. However, they said they found no issues with either card, which I still don't understand. I have had the cards back for a little over a week now, and the problem still persists. These errors DO NOT happen during Kombustor, Unigine Heaven, 3DMark11, etc. It ONLY happens when playing a game.
    Yes, BOTH cards failed individually, and in SLI. No, it's not a power issue because the system isn't crashing and shutting down like what normally happens with PSU complications... it's the driver crashing(allegedly). The red screen I get is some kind of Memory error/dump based off what I found from others complaining about this same problem with MSI, Asus, EVGA, etc. All with 670's. 
    The Black screen, no clue man. That seems like the driver is hanging up, since the screen goes black, and there's this awful buzzing noise. (Assuming it's the last fragment of a sound clip from a game on loop. I make this assumption because the sound is always different every time I get a black screen.)
    Here's an excerpt from an E-Mail I wrote to Henry at MSI just a couple hours ago explaining what I have done since I got the cards back. This is a list of Systems, built by me over the last few years that I tested these cards in to see if I could replicate my issue on other systems. I spent another $600 on parts because Some guy at MSI (Not Henry) insisted that I could have had faulty wiring on my G1 Sniper 3 in the PCIe lanes. That I could have had a bad CPU from Intel, and that I could have had a bad PSU. He also said it could be the ram... which it wasn't. This made no sense to me because I was running 4-Way X-fire on 6770's and 2-way X-fire on 6850's while they had the cards (On the original parts build), and I had no problems with those cards... so I don't think it was the board...
    "System 1 (My Personal Rig)
    Old Specs:
    CPU: Intel Core i5 3570K (Stock frequency)
    MoBo: Gigabyte G1 Sniper 3
    RAM: Patriot Viper Extreme 4x4GB @ 1600Mhz
    PSU: LEPA 850W 80+Bronze
    New Specs:
    PSU:
    Thermaltake Black Widow 850W
    MoBo:
    MSI Z77A-G45
    CPU:
    Intel Core i7 3770
    RAM:

    CPU: Intel Core i7 2600K
    MoBo: Asus P8Z68 V-LE
    RAM: Crucial Ballistix 4x4GB @1600Mhz
    PSU: HEC 850W 80+Silver (runs EVGA GTX 580)
     One card worked for the most part (on 306.97) with Crysis 2, however Crysis 2 repeatedly stopped responding, One card failed repeatedly, showing the same results as my system. These cards were tested in total 9 times. 1 for each driver(3 tests per card) then  the cards in SLI with each driver. Giving a total of 9 tests. So, if you DON'T want to count 306.97 failing to respond they still failed in 8 out of 9 tests on a single system.
    System 3 (My old-old desktop.)
    CPU: Intel Core i7 950
    MoBo: Asus Sabertooth X58
    RAM: Kingston Hyper X 6x2GB @1333Mhz
    PSU: Cooler Master 750W Silent Pro 80+Bronze (runs MSI 6850's in X-Fire)
    Both cards ran miserably. Gave up after 7th test. Didn't bother to do the final 2 because of frustration, and anger.
    System 4 (Friend's computer)
    CPU: AMD FX 4100
    MoBo: Asus Sabertooth 990FX
    RAM: Team Elite 4x4GB @ 1600Mhz
    PSU: NZXT Hale 650W 80+Bronze (runs Power Color 7950)
    Ran both cards individually because 650W is not enough to test SLI... However... this is where  gets just abso-f*cking-lutely strange. Both cards ran great. 99% flawless. One error on one card (Far Cry 3 stopped responding-closed-relaunched, all good, probably a fluke), No crashes, at all, on either card. I watched him play Far Cry 3 for about an hour on each card, then eventually quit because nothing would happen. (pretty peculiar in my eyes.)"
    So, yeah, I explained all this in detail to the guy and he said "Well, we can RMA them again, but we're just going to do the same tests and it probably won't produce different results. We can't replace them if we can't find any problems."
    This is why I am now beyond angry, and frustrated. I had the cards back for 48 hours and I could replicate problems on numerous systems. Meanwhile they couldn't find any issues.

  • GTX 670 stopped working, successfully recovered issue

    Not sure if anyone experienced the following and have solution but any advice would be great.
    I recently purchased a GTX 670, did a format and everything was working fine but as of yesterday I keep getting 'Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver Version 314.22 has stopped working and recovered'. I get the error message as soon as I boot up, no applications or games loaded, it just crashes on desktop.
    I download MSI Afterburner to check the temps and noticed that if I leave the PC idle the GPU will hit 99% and as soon as I click on the mouse, it will drop back down to idle and I will get the 'Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver Version 314.22 has stopped working and recovered'.
    I tried the most recent drivers and the last 5 versions of Nvidia drivers but that made no different.
    Nothing has been installed or uninstalled for the past week.
    Thanks

    Have the same issue, but the steps taken to reproduce this error is slightly different, computer was working fine the day before and this issue only arised yesterday without me installing or doing anything to the computer in the time inbetween.
    PC specs
    Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H
    Gskill 8GB ram (can't remember the model, at work now)
    MSI GTX 670 OC edition
    Intel I5 3570K i think
    Windows 8
    OS HDD - Crucial M4 128gb
    Steps :
    1.)Was watch youtube on 1080p yesterday and after ~40 minutes; nearing the end of 40 mins, the video and sound slows to a crawl where each spoken word was produced one at a time
    2.)Closed the browser (firefox)and the PC had stuttering issues - Cursor freezed for a good 20 seconds and then became normal again whereupon after 2-3 minutes of normal usage it freezes up again (Noticed that the CPU was running a full load after each freeze for a good 1-2 seconds)
    3.)After 5-6 minutes of stuttering a windows notification comes up and says that Nvidia 314.22 kernel mode has crashed and has been recovered (Only able to reproduce this twice, it never appears again)
    4.)Thereafter I launched a game to try to see if it was an isolated issue with the browser/plugin - less than 10 minutes of playthrough, the game hanged with looped sound and freezed screen, bringing up the Ctrl - Alt - Del menu and selecting task manager brings a black screen and the PC restarts on its own
    5.)Proceeded to do a clean uninstall of the 314.22 drivers and installed the 306.97 driver provided by MSI
    6.)Updated the SSD firmware
    7.)Same issue ingame after that, intermittent screen freezes where after close to 8 minutes of play, screen froze and sound looped
    Solutions tried but failed -
    1.)Updating SSD firmware
    2.)Rolling back of drivers - the kernel mode recovery notification no longer appears but the pc just freezes and sound loop outright ingame
    3.)Trying to locate the malware(Manual search for the file and using Malwarebytes)  - Iehighutil.exe but none found, gpu load and temp looks normal in gpu-z when the freezes occur
    Have no idea why this error arised, nothing was installed/changed between the time it was fine and the error arose. Have read that it could be the windows update KB2807986 but i doubt so as that's for windows 7?
    Power supply seems to be fine as well, have not run memtest on ram but i doubt its the ram - seeing as how the notification mentioned nvidia driver kernel mode.
    Please help or try to provide solutions that are feasible if possible.
    Thank you and sorry for the lengthy post.

  • MSI GTX 670 completely freezes please help

    Hi. I posted my problem on the nvidia forums and they suggested I RMA my graphics card and get it replaced... I thought I would post it here to see if anyone could help me...
    This issue has started about a few days ago and it has been bugging me because I can't play any pc games for longer than about a minute. Anyway, so the problem is, after about 10 seconds of playing any pc game(I'm using the game minecraft as an example) my computer COMPLETELY freezes and blue squares appear. There is nothing I can do other than switch off the power. Even my mouse pointer freezes. I don't think it's an 'overheating' problem because I let it cool down for 24 hours and the problem persists.
    I took a picture with my iphone to show
    As you can see, the blue squares appear and EVERYTHING is frozen... Even if i'm not playing a game, sometimes on occasions my screen goes black and comes back and says "display driver has stopped responding and has successfully recovered". But the main issue is that I can't play games or even watch youtube videos for longer than 10 seconds...
    I have a MSI GTX 670 and I have the 306.97 driver.
    I have tried countless 'fixes' (for example, setting power management to prefer maximum performance in nvidia control panel) and others too..
    Any replies will be GREATLY appreciated, thankyou

    brand, model PSU?

    I don't have another computer to test it in..
    then you can RMA it and if the problem is not in the card the problem will persist.

  • Trouble with GPU Acceleration in Premiere Pro CS6 (GTX 670)

    I recently bought a new GTX 670 with the hopes that it would accelerate my video editing in Premiere. After using the "nVidia hack" to add it to the list of CUDA supported cards, I started up Premiere, enabled GPU acceleration in the general project preferences window, and was disappointed to find that my performance appeared to be identical to what I had experienced with my non compatible HD 6870s.
    When I checked with MSI Afterburner, my GPU usage remained around 0%, even when playing through videos. I'm quite certain that my card was successfully added to the list, so I have no idea what's going on.
    Is there any chance that I am misunderstanding what GPU acceleration is supposed to do? I'm very new to Premiere, so I don't know too much about it yet. The reason I bought my new card, aside from improved performance in 3D games, was to allow me to scrub through my project (comprised of 1080p AVI videos captured with FRAPS) without hiccups and poor FPS. Was this not a reasonable expectation for GPU rendering?
    Here's a short list of my PC's specs if it's any help:
    -Intel i5 2500k (currently not overclocked)
    -8GB DDR3 Dual Channel RAM (at 1600MHz)
    -1TB 7200RPM HDD
    -nVidia GTX 670 OC 2GB VRAM
    -Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3 Motherboard
    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    Did you go to project>project settings>general and verify that GPU (cuda) accleration is enabled? If it's set to software only then change it and see if that helps. If it's enabled my next question is what is the bitrate of your FRAPS videos? Because I have seen some fraps video's with bit-rates that are really high which would require a RAID array that is only holding video clips to playback smoothly. In your case it appears you have your OS and your apps and your footage all playing from the same 7200rpm drive. Which isn't really sufficent for 1080p editing. However it might be as simple as enabling it from within premiere pro like I mention earlier. If it's enabled though please check the bit-rate of your video you're attempting to edit with because I'm assuming that might be the issue.

    And it's the 2nd item that is maybe of interest to those of us with Kepler based GPU's! Basically the GPU core voltage has been now locked for all cards (including the 680 Lightening and the 670 PE) to 1.175v. This by all accounts was by the direction of Nvidia/MSI themselves.

    One quote from Unwinder:
    it will be standard 1175mV, similar to all other 680 on the market. Advanced core voltage control of Lightning will be totally disabled, so it won't be different comparing to any other 680.
    Though there are still two ways round this.
    1) Continue to use version 2.2.3
    2) Use 2.2.4 (or later when it becomes available) but use the work around that Unwinder gives in a later post.
    Looks like Nvidia is continuing to put the pressure on to prevent any sort of meaningful voltage adjustment.

    Sadly Nvidia really dictated this cut down. MSI had to follow. I keep on using 2.2.3 which keeps everything as it should. Poor 660ti users have no choice as only 2.2.4 supports this model. Right now there is no workaround for that gpu.
    It's a shame really, I already have a GTX 670 that does 1340/7406, but on Thursday I decided to buy the MSI GTX 670 OC PE, having read this:
    Quote from: HardwareCanucks - MSI GTX 670 Power Edition OC Review
    MSI’s cards have continually impressed us with their willingness to overclock to impressive levels. With a bit of coaxing via MSI’s AfterBurner software to maximize the Power Limit and add 100mV to the core and memory voltage (PLL was also increased by 50mV) the GPU hit an impressive 1388MHz while the memory petered out at 6524MHz. Both of those clock speeds are personal bests but we have a feeling like there’s more in the tank should MSI decide to release a GTX 670 Lightning.
    For those of you wondering, at these speeds, the actual Boost clock we typically observed in games was between 1450MHz and 1465MHz.

    I got my MSI GTX 670 OC PE on Friday, will see what it can do tomorrow, even at factory clocks it should be on par with a reference GTX 680, I only game at 1920x1200 anyway, so it will be great.
