GTX 660ti 670 & 680 users w/ x58 boards & s3 sleep problems

[protivakid]

Hello,
On another forum there has been a lot of people complaining that with their evga x58 board and gtx 600 series card the computer will NOT resume from s3 sleep mode. I myself am having the same issue. This seems to be a known issue since April but so far there is no fix. Not sure if this is only with evga x58 boards or all boards.

Posting this here to see if anyone else is experiencing this with the above combination?

If so I encourage you to let the maker of your hardware aware of this issue. Perhaps if enough complain there will be a fix.

Bumping once to see if anyone else has / does not have this issue with the above combo

Don't mind but do you honestly need this "sleep" mode?

You must be kidding.

If S3 didn't work, I would throw my computer out the window. I don't have time to waste waiting for the OS to load and then getting back to where I left off with everything I had open and running, every single day.

Time is money foo.


OP, since April there's been no resolution, IMO, time to change your motherboard.

This is exactly how I feel! I want to make this issue as public as possible so it can hopefully get fixed and let potential buyers with x58 boards know. If I can't get it fixed I will be selling my new 670.

I got a great deal in a i7 970 which is not top dog but is NOT showing it's age in games yet so I don't want to upgrade my board yet.

Also wondering if AMD 7000 series cards and GTX 500 series cards that have greater than 1GB of memory have this problem. Can anyone else chime in?

There have been cards with >1gig of vram for a while now. If it were a problem with X58, this likely would have been happening long ago.

FWIW, I had an issue with coming out of standby with my PC and it was because Windows was under volting my system RAM. Maybe check that?

Maybe it's just me but I never turn my computer off or sleep. It's on always 24/7.

With a modern motherboard and an SSD boot time is less time than it takes to go get a beer and come back anyway so...yeah.

There is a long post over on EVGA's forums about users having the same issue. One post from an EVGA rep claimed their x58 board was unable to come back from sleep because of the amount of onboard memory on the card. They have tried all sorts of combinations with no luck. I want to make this known so maybe a fix will finally come out.

EVGA doesn't have very good BIOS teams anymore. Especially went down hill since Shamino left and went to Asus.

I think this belongs in the Motherboards forum though because it's clearly not an issue with the cards used as other boards don't have the same issues.

You don't think other x58 boards besides EVGA have issues with s3 sleep and graphic cards 2GB & over?

To each his own but I see you have a x58 600 combo. I know you don't use it but does your s3 sleep mode actually work? Any info would help me
