Hi all

Yesterday I received an RMA replacement from BFG for a GTX 285 OCX

The replacement graphics card POSTS and I can install drivers fine.. however 5 minutes into gaming I get graphical corruption. (Flashing and strange polygons).

The odd thing is, the fan never reaches more than 60%.. not even in Furmark when using 1920*1200 x16FSAA

Does anyone else here have a BFG GTX OCX 285 Graphics card?


If so what drivers are you using on your card and what BIOS does it ship with?
I reported the issues I was experiencing to BFG but they say they have ran 3d mark for 3 hours and also ran ATi Tool for 1 hour.

System specs.

Intel Core 2 Quad Extreme
ASUS P5E3 Motherboard 1503
8GB of OCZ RAM (tested and working fine).
Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty
Enermax Infiniti 720W PSU
BFG GTX 285 OCX.

I have not had much luck with GT 200 cards, this is my FIFTH!

First was a GTX 280 OCX which lasted 3 months before developing pink pixel issues (Pink Pixel of death apparently).

Second was a DOA replacement from BFG which died in 10mins.

Third lasted me for 8months before developing "black flashing rectangle snow effects"

Fourth (this time a GTX 285 OCX ) was a DOA card that would not even POST.

Fifth.. is what I am on (and hope to keep).

I have NEVER had any issues with graphics cards in the past and to be honest I am at the end of my tether.

I am using Forceware 191.07 as BFG said that these were the drivers they used for their testing. I have already tried 195.62WHQL and 186.18WHQL.. and the issues were still present with those dirvers

Any help or suggestions you have to offer would be most appreciated.

Thank you

John
