Mwo Is Now Officially The Game That Made Me Spend Most Money.

After a month of sabbatical, I bought a new graphics card, this time Nvidia GeForce 760. Just after 2 weeks of buying it for 299 USD, this time from local retailer, while again at the mech lab, the screen froze again, this time with red or blue splotches all over the screen. Trying hard to figure out what is wrong.
Blake damn it. MWO, why you do this to me? Never had any issues with playing graphic intensive games such as Rome 2: Total War, but MWO mech lab just eats my graphic cards

I see so many people getting angry because they MAX-OUT every single Video Setting and get 40 FPS (Frames Per Second), then scream bloody murder.
Here's some advice..
#1. Do NOT set EVERY video setting to very High, make it a mixed bag of High/Med, or whatever else works BETTER.
#2. In MWO Settings>Video>Advanced, set the particles option to low, restart the game after you save your settings.
Now if you find a perfect mix between Quality and Performance, please post in Hardware section of the forums with the EXACT settings, so that someone else may benefit as well.
Also make sure to post your EXACT system specs, and the EXACT driver you are using for your Video Card.
I.E., Number and release date.

Maximum GPU Temperature (in C) 97c
Graphics Card Power 170 W
Minimum Recommended System Power 500 W
Two 6-pinSupplementary Power Connectors
ALSO: the GTX 760 needs 30 AMPs from your PSU

There is the implication the IOH Core/ QPI pll Twins could use a voltage bump, but let us see about your PSU first …

My PSU is Rosewill Hive 750 Watt 80 with +12v ampage: 54 amps. http://www.newegg.co...N82E16817182133
Is it really not enough?

Although I think that probably is enough, this problem seems to shout PSU. made sure you got everything hooked up right? maybe just got a faulty one PSU or Card, but I would take a look at it, and also make sure you didn't do something silly like forget the pci-e 6 pins to the video card.

In MWO, it happens 5-10 minutes after starting a match or around 10 minutes while idling in the mech lab. Less graphic intensive games such as League of Legends will freeze once during 1-2 games, which is 30-60 minutes. LoL freeze lasts a few seconds and the screen will refresh and game will continue to run. MWO freeze will exit the game and sometimes I need to manually restart to get the computer to running again.

I don't think it has anything to do with my mother board, since I tried it in a different computer and had the same issue. The faulty PSU connector theory might be sound. I'll try using a different slot. Is there anyway to monitor whether the PSU is supplying enough power?

I just replaced my GTX 760 from Gigabyte with a slightly cheaper Asus version, from the retailer. This one has 2 fans instead of 3 and has only one 8 pin slot to connect to the PSU rather than the 6+8 the Gigabyte one had. Let's hope it works. Just for safety, I'm gonna turn down MWO graphics from Very High to Medium, although that defeats the purpose of the reason why I bought the card in the first place.

I had an 8 year old CoolerMaster 1000 watt and running xfire it would die fairly often. Either card ran fine single but together it was too much. Ran calculations and the rig should only have needed 700-800 watts max, but I am guessing the caps had worn out a bit. Replaced the PSU and it runs solid as a rock.

Anyway, that's my recommendation for future builds... And also remember, not every computer component is 100% perfect out of the factory, and some lemons aren't always DoA, sometimes they are sleepers waiting to ruin your day, and sometimes you get multiple streaks of bad luck... Best of luck bro, hope things work out for you.

If you skimp on the PSU, you will potentially deep six an otherwise good system.

97 deg C is waaaay too hot, mate. I only get a max of 53 deg C with my EVGA GTX760 4GB mounting an Arctic Cooling after market Accelero Extreme III.
MOAR cooling!!

this will kill every gfx card in a verry short time, most of them wont even survive a coupple of seconds at this temps!!!
open the case, secure cool air is succed into the gfc card cooler than report if you still have problems.
watch temps, if it raise above 75 c you have to do something about it or your card will die/malfunction, if not immediatly than within a short period of time.

Secondly, is that I noticed that's a value brand Rosewill modular power supply. Make sure you are using the hard wired PCI-e connectors and not the modular ones. I cringe every time I see modular cables built with cost cutting in mind that have to draw high amps. I realize plenty of modular power supplies are nice and all, but I've seen bad wire jobs on otherwise fine PSUs ruin video cards. The more points of possible failure you introduce into a circuit...you get the idea.
Good luck.

I beg to differ..... while Rosewill has many different models on newegg, I built my first rig around 6 years ago. I have ran SLI, Crossfire, water loops, raid drives in my builds. The first ones I got 7 years ago are the RX-750 and the RX-950. Both of these are still up and running and I have never had a problem out of either of them. Johny Guru did a write up on these models when they first come out. The numbers don't lie and neither did Rosewill on these models. Can't speak for all of them, but in that write up and extreme testing they did on those two models, they passed with flying colors. When they opened the PSU's up and inspected them, they had many of the very same caps, and parts and very well soldered together as many of the big names, including Sea sonic, Corsair. In fact I think they had the same parts as Corsair. Any brand can have problems....some are more apt then others, but Rosewill does make quality PSU's depending on which model you get. Good luck with figuring it out. Shouldn't be hard, find a spare PSU and test it out.
97C is not good for your card.... .Cooling Cooling Cooling! My 7970 3 gb card never hits above 65C maxed out on all high settings. My CPU is water cooled on a custom loop. Air flow is extremely important... and if your card is running that hot, I wonder how hot your PSU is getting? Heat kills computers.

I am using an old GTX 580 watercooled, never goes above 45c on load.
