for the EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti FTW3 ULTRA GAMING, we used EVGAs Precision X1. More than a little decent of EVGA, if you ask me. RTX 3070 does not have any kind of thermal throttle issue in mining. So my two used and abused 680s got free upgrades to two new 770s. They even payed for shipping, including sending me a shipping label to send the second 680 back. Anyway, they replaced the bad card with a 770 FTW card (a modest upgrade) and when I told them the 680 had been used in SLI with another 680, they replaced the second 680 with another 770, no questions asked, even though the second 680 didn’t have anything wrong with it. Though granted, the cards were still covered under their basic warranties. These cards had been nearly fully loaded for a couple of years crunching for BOINC as well, so it’s understandable that some issues like this might have developed over time. We were able to determine that it was an issue with the specific card itself, likely a voltage regulation issue as the drivers actually seemed to crash less frequently when the card was loaded. One example being: After I had already upgraded to two Titan Black SC cards in my main rig, I noticed that one of my two 680 FTW+ cards kept crashing the drivers in another build a friend and I were working on. It’s still a little bit buggy, but usable, and has some GUI slowdown issues (at least last I’ve noticed – I haven’t put the newest version through all of the paces yet).Īlso, to be fair, I have my computer on crunching for BOINC projects (including several GPU tasks) nearly all the time, so some might not notice the issues with Precision X that I do.Īfterburner is of course a good option, but Precision X is getting better and is in my opinion at least a halfway decent choice as it is now.Īs for getting my graphics cards from EVGA, that isn’t going to change any time soon as EVGA has done an amazing job of taking care of me as a customer. It’s definitely had its ups and downs, especially downs after the falling-out between EVGA and Unwinder, but EVGA has been steadily improving it and now it has some nice features as well as actually working, for the most part.
