switched from nvidia card to ATi today.... having so many issues lol.

windows not detecting new card at all. theres only so many ways you can attempt to plug in a gfx card. and the fans are running so that leaves even less.

Should have gone a 2 x Voodoo 2 in SLI mode

Jokes i know nothing about gfx cards these days. Only in my younger days when I played Quake 2

Did you diagnose whether it was a driver or hardware issue?

bad move bro, ATIs so many problems

I paid more for my 780ti than the high end ATI cards for the reliability

when are we playing bf4? wasteland squad.

pretty sure its not hardware... me and the rest of the ATi world seem to have issues installing and getting the drivers running. So i'll keep playing around with it for a bit more, then will format all my hdd's and work from a clean slate (which is what I'm doing tomorrow anyway).

lol yeah Leigh, will see what happens when I can get it running. before purchase should have browsed the AMD forums to see all the frustrating, unsolved threads.

dont play BF4. had some fun with bad company 2, then they shutdown all the servers when BF3 came out. havent played it since.

I'd say driver related also, was gonna say use driver sweeper etc. but if you're gonna format should be all good.

Fair enough. Yeah I've had more issues with AMD than Nvidia in the past, now I just tend to stick to Nvidia.

Easiest way would be to uninstall the drivers from the installer, go into safe mode and remove any trace of the drivers (software such as driversweeper can do this) and then reinstall them. You're reformatting soon though, so I wouldn't worry about it.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
