  |  GeForce 6800 preformance issues hey all, about a month ago i got a evga geforce 6800 off newegg and it worked fine until one day it gave me really crappy preformance in all the games i play and 3d mark 05. i was getting ~2500 in 3d mark now i only get ~1000. i cant figure it out ive reformated my computer, rolled back drivers, updated drivers, updated BIOS, and checked the voltage. all seem to be fine, but its giving me crapy preformance. any ideas? and im running dual monitors...that doesnt have any affect on preformance does it? AMD Athlon 64 3000+@ 1.8 =) 1024mb G.SKILL DDR 400 120 gb WD & 30 gb Maxtor Chaintech S1689 Thermaltake Silent PurePower420W thanks all

 |  The same thing happened to me with my 6600.. and i don't know why either. Only question i have is - did it work well with 2 monitors before? If performance went down when you added a second monitor, that's probably why.

  | Did you check the clock speeds? If it's not the dual monitors, then make sure it didn't somehow underclock itself. If none of this fixes it, your card might have gone bad.

| Make sure you installed the correct chipset drivers for your motherboard.

| Unistall your chipset drivers and your video card drivers. Uninstall powerstrip. Install your newest chipset drivers and then video card drivers. Reboot as propted. And try clocking everything to the normal speeds and see if there is any changes...

| Vanilla 6800's have been dropping dead left and right. My first one (from BFG) started messing up, corrupting the image and getting piss poor frame rates. The one they replaced gives me a little trouble somtimes, creating artifacts on my secondary minitor. So, RMA the thing. eVGA is good bout that stuff.
