I have the same GPU and the same monitor and I am experiencing the same issue. This thread was the first result when I Googled it. I suppose we just gotta live with it!
-
The GPU arrived in Ireland on Wednesday night. It came from Czech Republic. It was scanned in Ireland.
-
Bought from Alza, courier was DPD
-
My monitor and power supply both came from Cali to Ireland so it should be ok! NOTE: Never order from Newegg if you live in Ireland! Had to pay €200 import tax, and they came with US plugs too!
-
Yeah it was Alza. They were the only company to have EVGA FTW2's in stock. I originally ordered an ASUS Strix 1080 from a different company but they called me the next day to say the OC version I ordered wasn't in stock and had no ETA on when they would get one. So I went for the FTW2.
-
I bought from a reputable source. I also contacted their customer service so they are aware of it as they would be the ones making the insurance claim if it comes to that. The same courier company delivered several other parts last Friday and they were actually the fastest courier to deliver any of the parts!
-
They asked me to describe it so they could conduct the search. I said it could be inside another cardboard box lol

So I saved up for what seems like an eternity and finally had enough to build my first PC. I ordered an ASUS 27" 1440p Gsync monitor, and ordered a 1080 to drive this badass monitor. I ordered parts from different websites to get the best prices, and everything else arrived last week and this week. I built the PC yesterday, leaving only the GPU to add to it when it arrived today. No sign of the GPU! And according to the courier tracking, it was still at the national depot. I live in Ireland so the depot is in Athlone in the middle of the country, and is then transported to a regional depot before delivery. I called them this morning, and they said it had been transported to the regional depot and had just not been scanned yet. I should receive it today. They gave me the number of the regional depot which I called. They said they didn't have it, and that all the parcels they were due to get were out on delivery. They gave me the delivery driver's number just in case, and he didn't have it. I called the first number again (customer services), and explained the whole situation, and they have confirmed that the parcel is lost and will conduct an internal search for it. They took a description of the GPU box and it's value from me...€650! They said they will call me as soon as they know anything. I am so pissed off!!! I called them again this afternoon to follow up and here they tell me it could take 5 days to conduct the search!!!! Now it's the weekend too so it's going to be another week... More than likely the GPU has been stolen. Things like this just don't go missing... It came from the Czech Republic but it definitely arrived in Ireland because it was scanned. So it's going to take 5 days for the search, I'll probably need to get another GPU - so they will need to claim off their insurance, order another GPU (if they are in stock!!!!! - they are hard to get atm...) wait for that to arrive. Install everything. Download Battlegrounds over several days because my ISP has a 20GB per day download limit (I have no choice because of where I live). Then.....THEN...I will be happy.

Lol I don't plan on doing multi-monitor gaming. With my current laptop-TV setup I usually game on the laptop screen and have Chrome open on the TV. That's how I plan to use the new setup also. For productivity, it would be the same with Photoshop/Premiere/Code editor open on one screen and Chrome on the other. -
Hey so I'm building my first rig and I really can't decide whether to get: 2 TN panels - Asus - MG248Q 24.0" 1920x1080 144Hz Monitors (£270 each) - £540 altogether or 1 IPS panel - Asus - PG279Q ROG Swift 27.0" 2560x1440 165Hz - £685 I've been looking at reviews of both (and loads of other monitors also - I've narrowed it down to this). I may be doing digital design work on the monitor in the future (I'm currently finishing college) so the IPS display would be nice for that. However, I could get the 2 TN panels and wait until 2560x1440/GSYNC come down in price and then buy two 2560x1440/GSYNC panels. Or...I could get the single 2560x1440/GSYNC now and buy another one after a while (which could be years from now) I am used to using a dual monitor setup as I currently have a laptop screen and a 24" 1080p TV I use, however I need to stop using the TV screen as it's a pretty terrible display, but it's better than nothing for now. My fear is that if I but the IPS panel, I will miss the second screen. If I could afford it I would buy 2 PG279Qs! I'm getting a GTX 1080 graphics card so it will drive the 2560x1440 screen in the IPS panel no problem, but if I got the 1920x1080 TN panel, my graphics card would last longer before needing to upgrade it! What do you guys think?? Thanks!!!!

AMD’s Comeback MEASURED!- Viewers’ Choice PC [Q2 2017]

EVGA not in the OEM market share graph at 4.15 in the video?! I was under the assumption that EVGA were the best selling OEM for cards... -
Here's the results of the scan. I'll quarantine all of these.

How can you tell that it isn't digitally signed from the screenshot? Nope I didn't install open office on either this PC or another one. Yes I'm on Windows 10.

I'll try that and see what it finds! I've often heard of Malwarebytes but never used it!

I tried that with a few of the files...there's no associations property??
