GPU Down GPU down.... medic

Hello peeps,

Sad to say i have a problem, not a personal one happy to say, although i almost cried a little last night (

So i have 2x 980 Strix's had them less than a year, I've recently installed the new drivers on them and pop
Massive lines horizontal, unable to use the cards in sli, pc will not boot.

So, I've reinstalled win 7 64bit started pc without any drivers

I've removed the what i beleve to be the faulty card and tried them in all pcie lines to ensure the mobo is ok. one card works fine,
whilst the other card has lines. the faulty card will not allow me to go any larger than 800x600 res. gpuz tells me the card only has 1999mb memory and gpu clock speed of 0

i've found a youtube vid of the problem which is the same as mine. ie the lines of doom

I suspect this may be a hardware failure on the card - anyone had this before? and can you confirm this is card death.
also it was just after I've updated nvids drivers. was this coincidence?

Yeah same thing happened to my previous EVGA GTX 670 SC 4GB card had white lines then next thing it turned into blue/red/green lines. Send email to EVGA technical support with pics then they approved my RMA request and a week later received new replacement worked fantastic.

You will need to RMA faulty ASUS 980 card, you will do fine with 1 card for a while until you get another new replacement ASUS 980 card.

Ah that sucks man, yup you have a failed card

ASUS RMA is great though you should get a fairly quick replacement

Thanks for getting back to me guys, I thought it was poorly just wanted to get a 2nd 3rd opinion, I was taken back by the driver update and then it had lines after booting up a game to test.

must be nvidia special buy our 980 ti strix tactics
