6 Issolvi l-problemi

• Ebda Wiri/Skrin Iswed:
  • Kun żgur li l-karta grafika tkun imdaħħla kompletament fl-islott tal-PCIe.
  • Verify all PCIe power connectors are securely attached.
  • Iċċekkja li l-kejbil tal-monitor tiegħek huwa konness mal-karta grafika, mhux mal-port grafika integrat tal-motherboard.
• Performance Issues/Low FPS:
  • Kun żgur li l-aħħar sewwieqa tal-grafika huma installati.
  • Check GPU temperatures using monitoring software; overheating can cause performance throttling.
  • Ivverifika li l-provvista tal-enerġija tiegħek tissodisfa l-minimu ta' wattstage requirement (750W recommended).
  • Agħlaq applikazzjonijiet fl-isfond mhux meħtieġa.
• Fan Noise/Ticking:
  • Spezzjona l-fannijiet għal kwalunkwe ostaklu (eż., kejbils maħlula).
  • Adjust fan curves in EVGA Precision X1 to find a balance between cooling and noise.
• Tnaqqis fil-GPU:
  • Utilize the included retention bracket or a third-party GPU support bracket to prevent the card from bending under its own weight.
