MagicAndre1981 Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Does the GPU share an IRQ with other devices? Check this in device manager or msinf032.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrace Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) the listing for both GPU's are 0xFFFFFFF9 (-7) not a single thing in device manager that has a resource tab had the same IRQ as anything else, Although every USB device had a power management tab with "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" ticked and i'm using a USB Lexicon Alpha sound device so I turned that off.I couldnt find msinf032.exe but as I did all the checking in device manager I assume that is all the same anyway right?EDIT: Power saving wasn't messing with my USB sound device and the problem was still there, but it was worth a shot.

MagicAndre1981 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 typo. I type Zero instead of O. msinfo32.exe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrace Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) Sorry for the late reply. I've split all the information into two ( three) screenshots (messed up the third upload, I'll need to plug the PC back in to get it)http://i.imgur.com/09o67SI.jpg -http://i.imgur.com/omq7ljy.jpg-It seems like there is alot of stuff sharing, is this the cause of everything?

MagicAndre1981 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Also post a picture from the IRQ of the GPU.Also disable all powersaving options for the GPU (PCI-E power settings are also known to cause DPC issues). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrace Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) http://imgur.com/6WxL4hI This one is the screenshot that didn't upload properly last time, I do see that the second GPU is sharing with something called PCI Express Root Complex could that mean anything? I couldn't find anything on google about power saving options for the GPU so I don't know where to start turning them off.http://i.imgur.com/y7vm1zy.jpg here is the GPU's in the IRQ view of msinfo32.exe.Good news is that the new extension lead is set to arrive on Tuesday and hopefully will help if electricity is the problem Edited March 9, 2014 by Terrace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 go into the advanced power option and look for PCI-E power savings and disable them. I don't have an English OS, so I don't know the correct name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrace Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) http://i.imgur.com/LlOad7T.jpg I changed from balanced to power, was this the option you meant? I also then went into the advanced options and this was set to "maximum power saving" so i turned it to off http://imgur.com/zOxVTKE Edited March 9, 2014 by Terrace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 yes, this is what I mean. Does turning this off improves it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrace Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 No sorry it didn't work. I'm almost ready to try all sorts of crazy things like using Windows 7 instead. I'm certain that I seated the second video card in correctly and that all the PCI-E Power Cables were plugged in properly. The extension Lead arrived and I plugged my PC in from somewhere else in the house but it didn't help. If there is a problem with the electricity then its all the sockets in my home.

MagicAndre1981 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 which motherboard do you use? Does it have 2 PCI-e x16 slots? If yes, put the GPU into this 2nd slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrace Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) i'm using a http://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards/Z87PRO/#support_Download in the first PCI-Slot I have a http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-348-SP , in the second slot I did plan to have a second identical card but it didn't physically fit so the second card is this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-133-GI&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1752 Edited March 10, 2014 by Terrace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Does the issue also happen when you only use 1 GPU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrace Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) I just added another Hard Drive to my system and installed Windows 7 on it, even without the drivers check out my nice new results! https://www.dropbox.com/sh/v8h3wom0179xw58/rIIE8uPAAO I can really really really hear that there is no distortion at all on the games or in any programs but I thought i'd link to dropbox just to check with you that my ears aren't lying to me! I did get this warning when I did it though http://imgur.com/UC0keUc but everything looks realyl good in latencymon with really small green bars instead of the max length red bars I usually get in Windows 8I'm far far far away from installing all my drivers so I think i'll make a system restore point while everything is working and then do all my windows updates and drivers installs. To recap what I have so far Windows Framework 4.5 (required for GPU Drivers) Latest GPU Drivers and the LAN Drivers from the Motherboard CD (couldnt connect to the Internet otherwise) that is all the drivers I have.This is with both GPU's installed still, but to answer your question it wasn't as noticable with 1 GPU but I think it was still there. I think something on my system didn't have good Windows 8.1 Drivers, it was hard to say what it was because I tried to reinstall everything that I could think of.Now I just have to figure out how to safely wipe Windows 8.1 off of my sysem(unless I shouldn't? the **** thing was alot of money) I have this terrible luck where windows decides to put all my Master Boot Records on the wrong Hard Drive. I know I should unplug all the other Hard Drives when I do a fresh Windows install to prevent that very thing but its so much extra effort! with my luck the boot records will be on the Hard Drive with windows 8.1 on it and it will kill everything!
