2080ti Problems

[r22snapper]

Hi all.

After rebooting my machine today there was a short lived graphics glitch (odd colours across the screen) followed by booting into Windows limited to 1024x768 and Device Manager reporting that it has stopped the card because it has reported problems (Code 43).

What I've done so far to no avail:

DDU'd in Safe Mode and reinstalled latest drivers. This causes the same graphical glitch when the drivers would normally pick up the monitor native res and the process just ends with no error message and no change.

Moved the DP to a different port
Moved the card to a different slot
Changed the power connectors

When moving the card it did seem quite hot on the backplate, although I have nothing to compare it to. HWinfo reports 47c with the fans at 20% and the card doing nothing but displaying a low res desktop.

Is there anything obvious I'm missing or is it broken?

I have also updated to bios to no avail

Screen appears normal afterwards but limited to 1024x768

HDMI is no different. I will try a different display later when I can attack it properly. I will also try the 1060 from my other PC.

 

[r22snapper]

Yeah, kind of what I was thinking tbh. I guess I will find out how my 1060 handles Flight Sim until I can get hold of a 4000 series...

no chance of an RMA?

Nah, it's a few months out unfortunately.

 

[r22snapper]

Yeah, I may as well try the oven trick. Definitely not buying a 3000 series now with new stuff just round the corner...

have you gone through device manager to sdee if it shows there and if so tried installing from a driver on disk, you know before you totally ruin it in the ovrn

Yep. It shows. I have tried forcing an update through Device Manager and no joy

What brand is the card? Sometimes you'll get a service if it is a known issue, even if you are just out of warranty.

It is Gigabyte. I may as well see if they can do something I guess. Probably something to check before I roast it?!

It's prolly got the faulty batch of GDDR6 Micron memory from around 2018. If you check the cards serial number you'll be able to tell if it was manufactured during that era. Also you can see if it has micron memory if you've ever seen it in GPU-Z.

Edit: Oh and ovening wont help that. It needs its ram replaced. Take it up with the manufacturer, it's a known fault, but I doubt they'll make a warranty exception.

Thanks for this, it certainly looks like a memory issue.

In happier news, I was convinced that I bought this early 2019 but in fact it was early-mid 2020 so I'm still in warranty! Nice to be a few months in than a few months out as normal. I've contacted Gigabyte so hopefully all will be sorted.
