heya

-5 errors are evil ! I'm getting them all the time =.=

But anyway, very simple question do u use Photoshop with GPU when u use Vray RT? U know Photoshop eat up ur GPU memory, causing RT to -5 u... Or see if anything else is eating ur GPU... also get maybe evga precision to monitor ur gpu memory usage... -5 errors are mostly to limits of memory from what I hear...

What is the maker of your 295 card?

dadal... no dont have open any photoshop or other application who needs graphics memory.... have installed the GPU observer... i can see everytime the fan speed, the cpu load and the memory load...

vlado... i'm using a DELL ALIENWARE AREA 51 ALX... don't know the precise maker of the card inside... can't see it in the nvidia info panel...

Ok; I'm asking because, like I said in the other thread; we have two 295 cards here - one is Inno3D and is very unstable, like yours, and the other one is Asus and has no issues.
