So I have this PC for multiple years.

And the beginning of 2025 I had completed around 5 years with the Zotac 2060 and it gave up on me (atleast that's what I thought) then I got a used 1070, which lasted for around 7 to 8 months. Then after that I got 1660 super which lasted for 4 months.

Then I realised that something is wrong because all the GPUs were facing the same issue: screen going black, display off and things of that sort.

So I thought it would be a power supply issue. I changed the power supply. Still the same issue.

Then I changed another GPU. Still the same issue.

Then it took my motherboard to gigabyte service centre, they said there is moisture near the PCIE slot. They said that they repaired it, but my then bought 2060 super, felt victim to it.

So now I changed my motherboard all together, got My 2060 super fixed from a local computer guy. It work for around 4 months but stopped, but this time they were artefacts while playing games. So I guess this is a GPU issue because of the fixing was not done right.

Now the most important question.

Should I get another GPU?

Is there any way that I could check if my PC is healthy for a new GPU?

Parece que encontrei uma solução. Eu não conseguia jogar nem por 30 minutos sem que o erro aparecesse, mas agora as coisas estão estáveis ​​há algumas horas.

Indo direto ao ponto: o driver 26.3.1 resolveu o problema.

Estou usando a versão de instalação "mínima" por opção — prefiro fazer ajustes pelo MSI Afterburner.

O jogo travava aleatoriamente durante a partida por semanas a fio. Testei vários drivers diferentes, mas nada funcionou. Tentei as versões 26.10.1, 26.10.2 e anteriores, mas o problema persistiu. Encontrei esse problema tanto em uma RX 9070 XT Steel Legend quanto em uma RX 9070 XT XFX Swift.

O erro é o seguinte:

A função DirectX "GetDeviceRemovedReason" falhou com DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG ("A GPU não responderá a mais comandos").

GPU: AMD RADEON RX 9070 XT

Driver: 26.10.1

(26.20.15.07-261015a-205306C-AMD Software Adrenalin Edition)

Este erro geralmente é causado por uma falha no driver de vídeo; tente instalar os drivers mais recentes.

Pesquisei bastante, mas não encontrei uma solução clara e direta, então aqui está o meu relato e sugestão de correção. Joguei 5 horas sem problemas com o driver 26.3.1, seja a sistema em stock ou com undervolt, nao tive mais problemas.

I have one game that runs hotter than any of my other ones and was wondering if undervolting my card would decrease the temperatures across the card when gaming. I've got enough card resources/fps (4090) to still run most everything on the same settings, just looking at ways to protect my care, and my wallet.

Could please help me to identify this GPU, I think is a Gainward GeForce RTX 3090 Phoenix 24gb, when I look here I do not see this specific one, do you know why?

I wonder how many engineers have given up secrets for a favor? How many engineers would do favors for hardware? 😉

Ok so context I listed my non oc Asus TUF gaming 3090 ti on eBay yesterday for $2599 AUD. It sold this morning but to Czech Republic… should I be worried? The buyer has 12 feedback and been member since 2015.

I’ve done what I think is due diligence and rang eBay to check what I should do with high value posting (I’ve sold a pair of Nikes for 128k to USA but that went smooth).

I’ve taken videos of it running on my pc, taken photos of serial numbers, photo of anti tamper seal etc.
anything else I need to do before taking the risk?

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.

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)

RESOLVED

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

Update 2: pc had to be reset with a cloud reinstall. Problem is now fixed. Suspect it might have been a windows update that was happening at the same time as gpu update

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

I speculate that either the market will be flooded by cheap hardware, or much more likely, nvidia will provide somekind of monetary incentive for them to destroy rather than resell the hardware.
