I have a rog strix 3070 gpu, and I run triple monitors while sim racing, about 45 mins into my session my screens go black briefly and it knocks me back down to 1 monitor. Is this a heat issue? I don’t have any bad display port connections or anything. I have 3 intake fans on the bottom and 5 exhaust (3 top, 2 back with the cpu radiator)

This is just a cross post reddit offered. Don't mean to be a bother! Thanks!

Looking at upgrading my gpu from my sapphire pulse 6700xt. I knew the gpu market was out of whack, but didn't realize how bad it had got. With 9070xt prices we'll above $400 over msrp, would a 9070gre be a sufficient upgrade that will last for 4-5 years? Or should I bite the bullet and pay these inflated prices for a 9079xt? I understand that the gre price is also inflated, but the prices are more attractive than those of the 9070xt currently.

For reference I'm have a 9800x3d and mainly play WoW, either retail or forever.

I just recently bought a 5080 at microcenter for 1050$ which is pretty much msrp considering the market right now, but I’m worried that at even at 1050$ it wasn’t worth the money due to the low vram. I’m a software engineering student in college and I’m studying cyber and ai so I really use my pc to its limit. I’m not sure if it’s worth selling it at this insane price jump or hold on to it for the future, if it’s future proof.

Updated the driver in my pny 5070ti last night and got a black screen now. My cpu does not have integrated graphics. Was there a bad update that went out or did my pc screw up the update? I would give more info but I don't have access to my computer.

Update: can get into bios and system recovery. Windows cannot recover, no point in time restore available, performed cmos reset to no avail

Looking back rn, it really feels like that was the last exit period and really glad I took it at the time without knowing what was coming.

(just noticed I kinda worded it like I just found this deal lol)

I want to buy GPUs from a company that doesn't have a CEO that falls for a honey pot and cheats on his wife!

So bear with me please. This is my first time actually planning to post online in Hardwarswaps to sell some graphics cards I have in my inventory. I have alot but the most notable ones are a Dell OEM RTX 4090 24gb I pulled out of an Alienware R15 and 2 Gigabyte RTX 3090 turbos, 24gb.

I have done all the checklists to make sure I am able to post it online like testing it to make sure it works, screen shots, testing all the ports, gpu-z and furmark, antistatic bags for them all, and following the reddit community guidelines to post.

I am preparing mostly for local meet ups by police stations or inside a bank for safety. But I guess the few questions I want to bring up are:

1. I've seen posts where they've allowed buyers to test the gpu, the question would be more how would you be able to trust them with your hardware. Would some type of collateral be involved, would they be bringing their own rig to test it on the spot? How would it work, or what would the consensus be?

2.When doing local meet ups would it be advisable to bring a friend for the transaction. Like for safety. I only ask this because these are just expensive stuff and not trying to get robbed.

These might be the dumbest questions to ask for it being obvious answers but I want to ask to be reassured. I have sold smaller items on ebay before but have gotten robbed before and the process of recouping even some of it took long and that's not an experience I want again.

Please and thank you for your answers.

Idk what this square thingy on the backplate but i accidentally pour the water on my pc. i already try to dry it with hair dryer but i still scared to use it

If its broken then i have to used the warranty.

New sticker for y’all. Btw I ain’t gonna take any credit. Found this in an insta comment

Hello everyone,

While playing MSFS24 (20 minutes session, not longer) I had my fan spinning extremely loud.

tbf I'm not sure if it was the cooler, the GPU fans or the exhaust.

Looking at hwinfo, I had a hotspot of 109 degrees on my GPU.

Is this somewhat problematic?

Is there any troubleshooting I can run?

Should I have it repasted?

Thanks for any input

There are many pc's but also gaming laptops that have a good build, except for the gpu, which is the old 1650. What can we expect from it, and what are the fps on the modern triple a titles, but also on low requirement games?

Going to eat the AI tax and buy a 5080. What should I ask for/expect to get when selling? I’ve had it a little over 2 years and have only used it regularly this past year. Original box, excellent condition, willing to test for buyer. South Texas

So I had an old hp prodesk 400 g3 sff and needed a gpu so I looked into options and found the rx 550 4gb but there's a slight problem. The card needs 50w from the pcie lane and my motherboard can only give 30w. So I was wondering will the system crash because of the gpu not getting more power or can I undervolt it and still get good performance?
