• GTS 250 possibly dying?
    4 replies, posted
my GTS 250 might be dying, before i replace it, i want to hear what you all think. i've been having artifacts and framerate drops on every game i own, including tf2, far cry 2, Mirror's Edge, and Dead Space 2. i can max out Dead Space 2 with 50 Fps No AA, but i get 20-30 Fps in tf2. My system is a C2D at 3.46ghz Overclocked, 4gb DDR2 800Mhz, 550w PSU, ASUS P5KLM-SE Motherboard.
Check your temps with [url=http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html]HWmonitor[/url]
I know my temps are reasonable, but they used to reach 80c during a game, so i had bought an aftermarket cooler and lowered the temps.
When was the last time you updated your drivers? Have you tested it in another computer?
I have the most current drivers, and i don't have another computer to test it in. I do fear that overclocking it is what's making it act out and sputter.
