I have never experienced this problem. So far the computer is working perfectly.

Did you load the software that came with it? If not then you should. I used that to configure vs using the nvidia config so that I can run 3 monitors at the same time. Also when I had updated my video driver it killed it. I had to roll the driver back to allow it to work again

When I got it I was initially having issues with BSODs whenever I would exit out of a game and try to load up another one. I believe that this was caused because of the graphics cards clashing with each other. I have since changed it to make the nvidia my primary processor (if I'm remembering right I did this by going into the Nvidia control panel, clicking the Manage 3D Settings, selecting Global Settings and then making it the prefered processor rather than allowing it to auto-select... however it's been a while so I may be remembering poorly). After I made that change I haven't had it BSoD on me once. When I got it I was initially having issues with BSODs whenever I would exit out of a game and try to load up another one.

I am not positive...I used to keep up with tech but I don't any longer. I know I can select different options with the video card but I have not had much success when changing the settings. There is also a built in graphics accelerator besides the separate video card and it seems to default to that unless the higher power card is necessary. Again I am not sure of this but I think that is what is happening.

Try using the NVidia GeForce Experience Application that comes with the driver. It seems to do a good job at getting the settings optimized for me.

Was it , new , used ,or refurbished? When artifacts start popping up it usually means the gpu has had it and almost dead. warranty? Contact the seller and see if there are any viable options.. Its fried or a faulty gpu. I wish you luck and I truly wish you get this issue fixed and you dont get jerked around. It really blows when i buy something faulty and im left with a $300 paper weight here are a some links of similar issues. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/370734-33-strange-dis... http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/370734-33-strange-display-problem-7850

Make sure that your gtx 780 is selected as your primary gpu and not your built in gpu on your motherboard. Make sure that you update your drivers as well because you should be able to play all your games on ultra. What resolution are you playing at by the way?

This graphic card need at least 300 power supply if you have 220 this card can't work and your computer I have this problem now

I had that same problem, and it turned out I needed a new motherboard. You should call Dell.

Yes I also experienced a moment of black screen. It is annoying for this screen keep doing that. Hope there is a fix for it but I haven't tried to find a solution. If anyone have figured out how to fix this let me know

I really don't know. My problem turned out to be the power supply, not the graphics card.

Oh yeah. I've seen the CPU clock up as high as 3.2GHz! Just be sure you right click on the game icon after install, select "Run with graphics Processor" and click "High-Performance NVIDIA processor" and don't' crank up your video quality too high and you should be fine. What game are you trying to play? There are a number of updates that nVidia released that have performance boosts for many newer games...

I don't know,it never worked for me. I crapped canned it and got a Nvidia GTX 660. I am VERY happy with it. I got the ASUS OC edition. I had used ATI/AMD almost exclusively until this card. I got the ol shove it from AMD. I'll never buy AMD again. I would say skip this card.

Hello Kevin, I had the same problem. Just re-download the drivers and install them again. If that doesn't work it may be a hardware issue.

It's either a defect or you don't have enough space in your computer ( I'm not talking about GB, PHYSICAL SPACE) Airflow etc. What are your other specifications? Is your CPU running hot as well? What program are you using to check the GPU temperature? After double checking all these problems I would be confident to say that you received a defect.

I had the same problem actually and was never able to solve the issue. For about two weeks the driver/card worked then one day during boot up it kept freezing. I went through a trouble shooting sequence with GeForce since the driver appeared to be the problem. I even installed a different beta driver with no luck. I eventually had to uninstall the driver and send the card back. For some reason my system had compatibility issues with the GeForce driver/Chipset and I ended up buying a Gigabyte HD7770 with AMD Radeon/Catalyst Control Center Driver. This has been working very well and the only driver that worked was on the Gigabyte download center. The card was also twice the price.

You can just make sure you uninstall the drivers for it while it is still plugged in. Once they're uninstalled remove the old card and add the new one. Install the new drivers that come with the card and you should be all good. I had issues with the drivers on the cd not matching the card so if all else fails just grab the newest driver online.Enjoy :D (R9 290 is a great card)
