Hi guys,
Been out of touch with PC tech for a while, been a lot more focused on writing apps and the like.. Anyways I currently have a GTX460 which I bought about 2 years back when I built my current itx rig. Now this is a fairly power hungry beast by today's standards (450w psu) and I've had no end of issues with the drivers - TDR issues - which after a clean install, trying a bunch of different drivers, updating chipset etc drivers.. I'm lost for ideas. The issue is essentially my screen will turn black and maybe after 10 seconds come back on with a 'driver recovered' message, OR it will just stay black. The pc is unresponsive (num lock keys etc are hung).. After about 30 mins it'll BSOD and restart.
I know my GPU isn't overheating, my CPU is rock solid (I used to have to run intelburntest to keep my pc on coz I was using one of those power saving adapters lol) and I've run memtest for 12 hours without error.
So not having the patience I used to with these things I thought I'd have one last try and ask you guys if you have any ideas to resolve this. (I'm 99.9% sure its related to TDR, and it only started after I updated my NVidia driver after about a year)
But if not, and this is where the title comes in.. What can I buy to replace this that can play Crysis on a 1080p screen maxed out?
At the lowest possible price but with high efficiency (450w psu remember).. And yes, I'm deadly serious lol..![]()
