GTX 690 constant crashes/freezes/lockups

So they received my RMA today and the result is that the card is faulty according to them:

They're sending out a replacement.

 

Great.

 

Thanks for the help guys!

 

Final update: Got the replacement GPU today. Everything is working fine under load and with all drivers. It was just a faulty card giving the weirdest problems. Anyone else having these problems: RMA asap.

 

Thanks for sharing the experience with us.

For information, was Asus support on this good?

 

I didn't deal with Asus directly. I sent it back to Scan.co.uk and they tested it and sent out a replacement for me. Scan are very much hassle free and understanding.

 

i really need help with my 2x gtx 690 quad sli escalation issues please!

I've read a lot of ppl with troubles with the 2x gtx 690 sli escalation but didnt find any solution jet Please help! How did u solve your problems with ur 2 x gtx 690 quadsli scalation problems? my email es cmgver[at]gmail

My quadsli doesnt work with many games, i have drastically drops of FPS from 130 to 10 in games like battlefield 4 and i cannot use sorround 3 screens in many games too. I discover by accident that when i use no SLI configuration then it works better with no FPS drops, so is not the RAM or CPU.

I bought the two gtx 690 for 3 screen sorround rig, in that moment i had three 27' cinemadisplays but the performance was horrible, i thought it was not possible, but now i have only one screen and the same problems persist :/

My rig is:
2x gtx 690
mb asus rampage IV extreme
cpu 3930k
4 x 4 gb Tridentx G Skill
2 x 128 gb ocz vertex 3 RAID 0
1 x 4 tb western digital caviar black
monitor Asus swift PG278Q with g-sync
windows 8.1 64 bits

bios firmware in my 690s are: 80.04.1E.00.90 80.04.1E.00.91

i updated the ASUS RAMPAGE IV EXTREME to the latest bios firmware 4901

Thanks a lot! and i will appreciate any clue of how to solve my problem.

Does one card work ok? as it still use SLI for the 2 gpu on the same card.
I have 1 GTX690 and I know it work well.

 

im really thinking about unistalling one card, so use sli with the two gpus, the problem i have is with the two 690s, so quadsli is the problem.
if i dont find the solution, during these days ill try with only one card. The thing is that i have a full watercooling rig, so unistalling one card is like a crazy surgery, take out all the water.......fittings....

 

guys, sorry for reopening old threads, i just had the intention to reach old users with gtx and see if they had some solution to the sli scalation problems with 2x gtx 690. Please, any answer u have to my question, do this in the main thread to the problem, thanks a lot, CM.
