Hey LTT Forum! This is about my first time here so bare with me!
I acquired a free gtx 1070 from my friend a while back to find out it was pretty much bricked. After some further testing I found out that it was detected in windows as a gtx 1070 when put in a running system that already had a gpu installed.
When it is the primary gpu I am greeted with only a black screen from my monitor, but the “ge-force gtx” logo does light up (if that means anything).
I’ve attempted to boot with this gpu in different systems, motherboards and psu’s. I’ve also attempted using the dvi, hdmi and dp ports on the back with still no luck.
I’ve torn it apart to see if there were any physical hardware level issues with the card and I can’t notice anything with my own eyes.
I don’t NEED this gpu but it’d be nice to put this thing in sli with my current 1070 in my main system!
Any suggestions and/or help is appreciated, thanks guys.
