GTX 950 ftw , that 2GB in RAM fukking me up.... copped back in 2016


EVGA GeForce GTX 950 FTW GAMING ACX 2.0

Not a high end card though. If you want to stay on that line you are looking at upgrades every 12-18 months to get decent performance at 1080P.

I would skip the 1050 Ti and just wait at this point

these stream sales about to have me broke........

Yea bro I had that same issue before its not a hard fix, uninstall that NVIDIA Network Access Manager program. I use Revo uninstaller, after that restart the computer check Device Manager and look for Microsoft Teredo Tunneling Adapter which is should be disabled.

Nice...thanks. I'm going to do that when I get home. I appreciate it

When did it occur? What were you doing when it occured? in the bsod did you see DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, what error is showing up

Suggest you do a memory diagnostic, remove all attached devices, take out 1 ram out at a time and see what the results are

If not reset your windows but make sure to click keep files option


I've never had an issue with Nvidia software in this sense. Last time it occurred to me it was my ram

Thanks, I'll try those steps. It seems to occur while I'm browsing websites (which I guess makes sense, given what @NotoriousJerry mentioned)

The steam sale was actually good for me this time around. I picked up like 11 games for $70.

Yeah I bought a 1050Ti and ended up buying a 1070 less than 9 months later.

Im looking to build a PC (its on my bucket list) Where do I start brehs??? That are the price ranges between High end, Mid range and low end. I think im going to aim for Mid. I plan on doing some gaming, music editing and things like that....

Any recommendations?

Give an exact price point

Give an exact price point

im trying to stay under 1K

About 700-800 Would be great if that's doable. I really just started my research today, so I dont know the Average price points.

Should pay everything at 1080p

System Builder - Core i5-8400 2.8GHz 6-Core, GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB GAMING, 100R ATX Mid Tower - PCPartPicker

Next time you cop a card, just get the highest end you can afford. When you buy cheap, you end of having to replace it more often.

Hmmm....I downloaded revo uninstaller, and I can't find Nvidia Network Access Manager or Microsoft Teredo Tunneling Adapter either. What am I doing wrong?

 

[Ciggavelli]

Ok, I downloaded BlueScreenView, and I got this:

I'm not really sure what I'm seeing here.

yep, I paid $200 for that card in 2016, the only way out is a high end $400+ card

Looks like exactly what I said bad memory. Test memory, then take out 1 stick out at a time and then swap see which one is bad. shyt swap the ram sticks in positions see what the outcome is, look into bios. Are both being identified
Which one comes back bad, you know what to do. This is why beside servers I do not go with oem
Or do a system restore before that date (6/8/2018)

Thanks. I ran windows memory diagnostic with all the sticks, and it came back with no errors after 2 passes. I guess I'll have to run MemTest86+ tonight to see if that picks up any errors.

At Computex 2018, Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang announced that the company would not be launching any new GPUs for "a long time". Perplexing when you consider that the GeForce 10 series of cards have been around for two years. Now we know why. It seems that Nvidia is stuck with excess inventory of 10 series cards due to overestimating the bitcoin mining GPU demand and the demand from gamers. So much so that one top Asian OEM partner reportedly returned 300,000 GPUs to Nvidia. According to a report from SemiAccurate (paid subscription) via Seeking Alpha, Nvidia also aggressively bought GDDR5 that it now has in excess stock of lower-end GPUs that need to be made into boards.

"Nvidia has overestimated pent-up gaming demand and underestimated the impact of declining mining demand," claims Seeking Alpha before going into details on the state of GPU supply from Nvidia.

"How badly have they miscalculated? Enough to have to agree to take back 300,000 GPUs from a 'top 3' Taiwan OEM. This is quite notable news as Nvidia usually exerts massive influence over its partners and can be quite ruthless with allocations of new GPUs if partners step out of line. The fact that this partner returned these GPUs says a lot about the current state of supply in the channel."

That said, we won't be surprised to see Nvidia launch something this year, if for any reason but to stay relevant. There's proof of a launch in the works with Nvidia signing a deal with memory giant SK Hynix that could include GDDR6 memory supply for future GeForce cards.

Plus, cooling fan manufacturer Power Logic has stated it expects shipments to increase in the third quarter. The company makes fans used by global graphics card brands so it probably has an idea of Nvidia's roadmap, particularly with the rumoured GeForce GTX 1170 and 1180 GPUs.

Power Logic Chairman Hsu Wen-feng specifically called out the Asian Games 2018 in August as a possible tipping point for greater demand, perhaps hinting at when Nvidia may just announce its next-generation GPUs in August. Hopefully they won't be priced as badly as 10 series GPUs are right now, forcing Nvidia to sell its current range on its own website to undercut OEMs in markets like India.

This Is Apparently Why Nvidia Hasn’t Announced New GPUs Yet
