Krupi Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) My EVGA 780 purchased back in the fall of 2013 has coughed hiccuped and apparently died :cry: the warranty only lasted three year's. Now with all the news about the current cryptocurrency fad I was already aware that they were in short supply. Whilst I could take the hit and by a 1080TI at a ridiculous price I am unwilling to do so, which leaves me with two alternatives find a website that is selling a 1070TI or perhaps a 1080 at a fairly reasonable price and wait a few weeks for it to get back in stock or attempt a repair! Is a repair even a viable option, I have no idea why it suddenly went. I noticed a couple of green lines flashing and original mistook them for a dodgy hdmi cable on my steam link however on Friday the dreaded artifacts appeared and on Sunday the GPU stopped appearing in my dxdiag :helpsmilie: Just wanted thoughts from people with more experience.

Flow Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Repair will be next to impossible. Only viable option will be replacement if yours is out of warranty. i7 7700k • 1080Ti • 32GB @ 3200 MHz • 525GB M.2 • Oculus Rift Warthog + Pro Flight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dburne Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Keep a check on EVGA's website, they often get stock in around this time of the week. Have to be quick to snag it, but if you can it is at normal pricing. EVGA Jacob usually posts in their forums when they get stock in.

Krupi Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 Okay, I thought that would be the case :( I have found a MSI 1070 TI GAMING for a reasonable price, just need to decide on a that or a 1080.

Looks like you are running in VR? ( by your sig). If so, get the most card you can swing comfortably. VR in flight sims is very demanding, and it will use whatever you throw at it GPU wise. Heck I even upgraded from a 1080 to a 1080Ti a few months ago. Because of VR.

Krupi Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) Yep, whilst I would like and a 1080 Ti I am not willing to write off a £900 pound for one when they are really worth £680... Especially when mining with GPU's already sounds like it is no longer worth it... the prices might drop off a cliff soon!

You can get one at regular price, but have to be very determined about keeping a check on stock and snatching one up right when it becomes available. Not the easiest thing to do, but some are able to get one this way. Unfortunately this mining craze makes it hard for us gamers to get what we want when we want it GPU wise.

Just wanted thoughts from people with more experience. Before blowing any bread, first thing to do is determine if it's a graphics card problem or a problem with your motherboard. Try another card if you have one kicking around, or try you 780 in another, working computer. You'll be right bloody miffed if you buy an expensive card and your mobo is the culprit :) And yes, they want a lot of cash for new graphics cards, it's what the market will bear.

Krupi Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 I would be surprised if it was the other components, they are relatively new June 2016 however I will look into testing the other components. In dxdiag I get a GPU error message and it doesn't show a card attached.
