Nvidia 572.16 bricked my GPU!

I don't know how that stands against anything I said, or the link I provided. Did you check that link?

I told you about PayPal credit and you said PayPal removes section 75 protection. I reclarified that I was talking about PayPal CREDIT which DOES have section 75 protection as section 75 of the Consumer CREDIT Act applies to all credit in the UK.

I'm not doing a straw man, I'm saying in my opinion it's irrelevant to me as a consumer whether a retailer is potentially going to get fined for not refunding my money for trying to dodge responsibility for repairing a faulty card. You seem to care about retailers more than consumers. It's a really odd view point to have.

You mentioned specifically credit (as you know all credit is S75 protected), I was talking about PP and CC attached to it in general. Perhaps a misunderstanding.

And I said nothing that would contradict this specific bit, did I?

You're talking about a very specific case of RMAing a graphics card and what if retailer is a horrible company which tries to break the law. I am talking about difference between chargeback and S75 protected credit and how nothing is just black&white. Do you see why it didn't match and why it felt like strawman when we're talking about different things?

I definitely do not. This again feels like strawman but I reckon we're again simply talking about different things.

Yes, I said "if you do use PayPal use PayPal credit instead" THEN you said PayPal doesn't get s75 protection. But PayPal credit does, so no it's not a misunderstanding, you just didn't know what PayPal credit was and made an incorrect statement in direct response to me talking about PayPal credit.

Any statement that begins with "you seem to" cannot by definition be a straw man, as it's a subjective view point.

This. None of this helps the OP, just because one of them wants to be right.

I expect to see it all get deleted for off topic, along with this post referring to it (which would be correct).

I have tried to see if you have tried this but there is too much other stuff in the thread, can you force the pie slot to pcie 4 or 3 to see if that does anything/helps at all?

 

[Marak]

Apologies if you have already said this (thread seems to be getting a bit derailed) but does your card have dual BIOS e.g. quiet and performance modes? If so have you tried switching to the other BIOS?

 

[Mr Mcgoo]

You could try another GPU to get a video signal and then roll the driver back to an earlier version?

Already done this and still no luck

Try a different pcie slot if you have one.

Years back, had a similar problem with an MSI mb that just stopped working out the blue after a driver update, couldn't troubleshoot the reason why, but the MB/GPU both worked flawlessly for years separately in different systems.

I'd try your new GPU in the mates system first to rule out that the GPU isn't faulty before sending it back.

I already tried my gpu in another slot and my backup system. One thing to note is the fans spin at first power on and that's it before vga led stays on never goes any further. My usual led path is cpu, dram, vga, and bios. All leds then go out and my pc boots. However i get cpu, dram then vga led stays on and pc never posts/black screen.

Your contract is with the retailer you bought the GPU from, not the manufacturer.

I've had Amazon try this tactic on with me at least two times with products that failed within warranty, and had to remind them of the above.

will try this in the morning to to speed up inno3d not responding thanks

done this with my rtx 2080 super installed then switched to my rtx 4080 super and nothing but vga led and no post

Single bios only. Was thinking of flashing the gpu but don't want to have that fail revoking my warranty

 

[Mr Mcgoo]

To those that have derailed my post can you please stop. This is not a consumer rights debate post. This is in regards to my 4080 super and the new nvidia driver. This will hopefully help others that may end up in a similar boat and they can use other members helpful suggestions to fix their own issues in hope to not end up with a bricked gpu

We've had MMOs bricking the 30 series cards before so I wouldn't be too quick to jump to that conclusion (New World in 2021 bricking cards with "suboptimal" soldering)

Wasn't the games fault. It was cheap components paired with an uncapped framerate left running on the main screen + poor cooling so the cards just sat there and cooked. If it didn't happen then it would've happened in another game or program.
Didn't have any issues with my 3080 FE in New World as I use a global fps cap in NVCP and the FE has decent components.
