Nvidia gtx 680 driver

I'm running what the disc installed which is 300.83. Since installing last weekend I've had ~5 game disconnects but it's telling me that I disconnected from EA like my ISP went down. However, I've never gotten this before and I'm not losing TS or any other running applications. Game play wise I see no issues with .83.
 
It's a long shot, but does Event Viewer say anything about the issue?
 
Just tells me "Disconnected from game server" but it didn't happen tonight. Once last night, once Monday, and I think three times last Sunday. Otherwise I couldn't tell you why.

That's the driver, and why I use the one I do...no "disconnects" no crashes and it has better fps on bf3 than the install disc driver but if it works for you then that's good. I just have had a much better experience with the driver I'm using now.
 
So I guess I bragged about my system a little to early. I had to revert back to my old 5850's. I can't get any drivers to work with my 2x 670's, even the ones that came with the cards. It just causes Windows to BSOD on startup. Any one have any idea what to do, besides wait until new drivers come out? I feel like I've tried just about everything. I can get windows to boot up under Safe Mode which is how I was able to uninstall and re-install different drivers. Used the Driver-Sweeper program. Even did a fresh install of windows. Which I forgot to save all my browser bookmarks :tantrum:

What brand are your 670's ? EVGA did a massive recall on their 670s due to them being defective-same as you're describing. Other brands have had the same problem, it's a manufacturing problem that they've supposedly got fixed with the 670s but I'd look into that.

Also, were you able to get 1 670 to work at all, either one, or do they just not work as a pair?

Also, don't forget your power supply-you have a 750w on a an OC'd cpu?

Above, a chart of relative power consumption. Again the Wattage shown is the card with the GPU(s) stressed 100%, showing only the peak GPU power draw, not the power consumption of the entire PC and not the average gaming power consumption.

Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:

GeForce GTX 670 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 500~550 Watt power supply unit.
GeForce GTX 670 2x SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 700 Watt power supply unit as minimum.
GeForce GTX 670 3x SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 850 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

I have the 670's.. but it seems like its hit or miss atm, between cards being DOA and the drivers being shitty.
I just got done formatting, installed my Realtek Audio drivers straight from the ASUS website and I still can't get them to work. IDK WTF is going on..
 
Yeah as soon as I tried to update my Realtek drivers on this laptop they fail to install on start up. I guess its just a realtek thing :/. I guess one 680 will be fine :) its rpetty much and & play with 1 gpu haha

Would you recommend multi-monitor or just one big one? (from your experience) and if you forget all the tech problems haha

I still can't figure whats going on with my sound, its driving me nuts. The realtek manager detects that my speakers are plugged in and sound is playing, but there's nothing coming out.

All depends on preference, I like my multi-monitor setup because I can either play with just my middle screen and use the other 2 for browsing and apps/multitasking or all 3 screens for just the game.
I like all 3 screens for when I'm flying cuz I can see a lot more airspace when I'm dog fighting. But you won't be able to support 3x 1080p monitors on ultra in BF3 with 1 card.. so it pretty much comes down to how much you want to spend. $$$$

Have you checked Windows is using the right output for the speakers?

Ya, I've even tried making the other devices the default to see if that would work and nothing. Which I'm pretty sure those devices are the HDMI output from my video cards and the front output from my computer, which I also can't get to work where I normally use my headphones.

Hmmm yeah interesting. I think I will start off with one card and one screen :) Then add if I want and when the card is better supported I guess. Thanks for the help though :)

For the longest time, I had a 2 monitor setup with 1 card. Where I gamed on one, and used the other for my browser and xfire and keeping track of my case temps and what not. I don't think I could go back to one screen.
