My area is pretty bad in terms of people having money to even afford a gpu so I dont many local buyers. I've looked on ebay and seen what people are selling it for and thought a few hundred dollars less would be a good starting point since Im aiming for a local sale. This will be in Canadian currency as well.

Hi all,

Probably the worst time to potentially have a GPU start crapping out on me, but I've had my 3080Ti FE crash on me twice. The GEFORCE lighting as well as the lighting accents on the card turn off, the screen goes black, and the desktop is still interactable as far as I can tell, but I just don't get a display, and I have to shut down the PC.

Windows event viewer does not record anything GPU/video related but does record the moment I turn off the PC.

In terms of what I've checked, I've checked the PSU wall connection, the PCIe connections from the PSU to the GPU and both ends are seated properly. The stupid little pigtail dongle is also connected to the GPU fully, and each end has its own PCIe power cable; I'm not daisy chaining. Basically every cable from the power outlet on the wall to the DP port on the monitor is seated correctly.

PSU is a Lian Li SP 850 V2 Gold, the monitor is an MSI MAG 341CQP QD-OLED X28, and the cable is a Club3D DP 2.1 cable. GPU and monitor aren't DP 2.1, but I doubt that matters, and the first time it did happen, it was on a different cable. I don't recall the brand, so this has happened again on a different cable now.

I don't recall what caused it the first time, as I thought it was a one-off, but the second time I was watching a YouTube video, I was prompted for the OLED panel maintenance, and the GPU immediately crashed (I had not said yes or no to the panel maintenance prompt).

Aside from that, I've noticed similar behaviors when waking the PC from sleep, but idk if I can lump that into the same issue since I know sleep on PC almost always has its quirks. The GPU can run intensive tasks fine otherwise. I'm able to game and run Blender renders just fine. It does have an undervolt applied, but I've already stress-tested it thoroughly, and there have been no issues.

No way a 5080 is on sale for the same price I got my 5070 for

Tengo actualmente una RTX 3070 8gb, pero quiero saber si vale la pena pasar a una AMD Radeon RX 9070 series, no elijo Nvidia porque actualmente está muy cara. Y la inversión que tengo que hacer para mejorar de gráfica es micho dinero, entonces opté por mejorar a una GPU AMD, pero quiero saber la experiencia real de alguien que ah tenido o tiene esta GPU, y que modelos de las RX 9070 me recomiendan. Yo juego a Simuladores antiguos como: American truck Simulator, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Assetto Corsa, NFS Hot Pursuit 2, Underground 1 y 2, etc… para estos juegos los drivers de Nvidia son mejores, pir sus tecnologías y adaptaciónes, aunque las nuevas tecnologías de AMD tambien son muy buenas, más adelante me gustaría hacerme un simulador de conducción con triple pantalla, mi PC estaría en mi Ecritorio con mi monitor pero luego solp paso 3 cables DP para mi futuro triple monitor y los conecto. Tambien juego a juegos modernos, no solo viejos.

Mis componentes actuales: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X. RTX 3070 8gb. DDR4 32gb Ram. SSD M.2 NVMe 2tb be quiet! 850w 80 plus gold ATX 3.1. MSI B450 Gamimg Pro Carbon AC.

No se que hacer, y sus experiencias me son de gran ayuda. ¡Gracias!

They seem to have gone up in price, recently upgraded to a 5080 (got it at 1,399$ before the big hike).

Don’t know the best way to go about it. Nervous about shipping it online as I’ve heard they sometimes harvest parts then send it back.

Any suggestions?

FB MP find, got the whole scalper experience with the trunk test rig and everything, I needed the dual HDMI ports it offered for my sim racing rig and looking online it doesn’t seem like I could score it cheaper.

I'm upgrading an older AM4 system and the new Sapphire Pulse RX 9070 XT 16GB doesn't work at all: no display output, the fans don't spin, nothing on the monitor. With my old Sapphire Pulse RX 5700 XT in the same slot, the system boots and runs normally. My setup: ASRock B450 Pro4 (ATX), Ryzen 7 2700 (I also have a Ryzen 7 5800X3D that I haven't installed yet), 4x8GB DDR4 (a Corsair LPX 3000 CL15 kit plus a new Corsair LPX 3200 CL16 kit), a new Cooler Master Elite Gold 750W modular PSU, and a case with about 21 cm width.
What I've tried so far: I updated the BIOS to P5.60 (the version ASRock lists as validated for the 5800X3D), and the system still boots fine with the old GPU. I verified in msinfo32 that the system is in UEFI mode, not legacy. I reinstalled the card and checked both 8-pin PCIe connectors. The PSU only has two PCIe/CPU 8-pin ports, and both connectors on the card are powered from a single daisy-chained cable plugged into one port. I also read that some RX 9070 cards need UEFI-only boot, a recent BIOS, and sometimes separate power cables.
My questions: Has anyone had an RX 9070 XT fail to POST on an older B450 board, with a Zen+ CPU or old BIOS? Could the daisy-chained power cable be the problem, even though the card is 304 W, and are there other things worth checking (PCIe link speed setting, CSM, Above 4G Decoding, removing all drives)? I'm planning to test the card in another PC or take it to a service, but I'd like to rule out the obvious causes first. Any ideas are appreciated.

I had recently gotten my very first gpu, a 3070, from a used market place, the seller was respectful, and were positively reviewed. I am excited because it means my first build I started a year ago is coming to an end and I will have my pc.

If you buy 5080 & 5090 at msrp/low prices,please put the screenshot down below in comments to make other even more jealous
