because 1709 break a lot of stuff see the nvidia forums about it

one question, did you install windows update 1709?

After reinstalling windows the issue is GONE i don't know what cause it but it might be the windows update that cause it i hope to see more info about this...

seems like nvidia just released a new drivers gonna try that now

Update. i tried furmark and it did not show artifacts and that is a full GPU load idk what is happening...

UPDATE!!! After reinstalling windows the issue is GONE i don't know what cause it but it might be the windows update that cause it i hope to see more info about this... Story times boys! So yesterday i played a bit of OW for like idk 6 hours total that day and later in the night i wanted to play some fortnite with my friends. But that session was not going to happen because of weird artifacts all of the sudden...(pics in attachments) I was like "why does this happen" the gpu is like 1 month old and temps never gone far enough to dmg the gpu and never OC it because it boost already to 2Ghz without anything done. Then i tested some other games like doom 2016 that did not have the issue but PUBG and CoDWW II does have it. Later i tried to do windowed mode and non of the games have the issue then i was like "how can this be? if the GPU was broken it would happen all the time right?" And now i am here to ask your help if it is defect or not. I Already made an support ticket on EVGA site i wanna know whats up and i hope my GPU is not defect because it will take some time to get it back Before you ask this is what i tried already. Other monitor. Other HDMI cable. I will try another mobo and PSU soon but i think that won't solve the issue either. Also i will try an clean windows install because i notice this happen after yesterday windows update.

well the PSU is from Delta eletronics (more like power brick) i think everything else is on the mainboard self (what also accept a 330w PSU)

additional picture from linus video of the trident 3 with a GTX 1070

then i wonder how MSI pulled it of with a 330w with only a 6 pin to 8 pin in there trident 3 pc

Well it is not about the PSU, it got a 8 pin that is not what it is about. Its more regarding my other PC what is the MSI Trident 3 its carring a 230w PSU that can be upgraded to a 330w PSU but the issue remains the same by having only a 6 pin PCI-E on mainboard but apprently it works because linus reviewed it. So that let me believe the 8 pin on the GTX 1070 don't add extra power or anything at all or MSI are wizards after all... Also i saw review where the max power draw under heavy gaming load is 204w max so why do you even need the 330w psu if max power draw is under the 230w limit (i know usb can also draw power but still 100w more is not required i think?)

As many you know the GTX 1070 is a great GPU, really powerfull and even can achive 4k gaming by lower some settings in later games. Also if many know the GTX 1070 is rated at 150w what is not that much like the RX 480. BUT...what i don't understand is the RX 480 need only a 6-pin and the GTX 1070 an 8 pin what the? To make it even worse is the mobile edition of the GTX 1070 only use 120w max with almost the same performance maybe 1 to max 5 fps slower in worse case senario. But back to the subject. Could the GTX 1070 work without issues with a 6 to 8 pin adapter since it is rated for 150w what 6 pin + PCI-E slot can deliver on it own. Or could i run in issues by trying this. Or even better did some one ever tested this if there is any issues or lower performance at all if it works?

problem is...we don't know nothing about the PSU no model or part number and msi won't give it to me either the mainboard and such is the same so it as simple as replacing the PSU and the PCI-E power cable

because something like this exist but i cannot find it anywhere

So i own a MSI Trident 3 world smallest gaming pc yet??? But it got 1 tiny flaw...it only got 1 PCI-E 6 pin power and with the recent new releases of mini series for gtx 1070 and 1080 i cannot upgrade to them. I don't understand why the GTX 1070 need a 8 pin anyway since it only required 150w but ok that is for another topic that will come soon. Now i am looking for external power to add either 1 or 2 6 pin or a 8 pin so i can mod the case to attach it external so i guess also searching for a plug for it to attach to the case. Anyone ever heard or have seen something like this and yes i tried googling it but it let me to nowhere! So i hope LTT forum can help me out.

nope the only thing that is holding it back is power limit

yes you can fit in a 1070 http://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N1070IXOC-8GD#kf

Funny thing is...MSI even have a video how to upgrade all the parts

yes it is

You must be trolling?

Want the smallest gaming PC? Well there are many options but not that small as the MSI Trident 3! So i got the one with the i5 7400 and the 3Gig version of the 1060, but you can upgrade is with the 6Gigs if you want or even a RX 480 8Gigs (if you can find one that is max 17cm long). To bad you CANNOT AND NEVER WILL upgrade the GPU much higher then those 2 options since the PC is limited with max 230w and so far i know there is no overcurrent protection...what that means you might blow up the pc if you try to fit in a GTX 1070 what is possible with the mini version of it, but it use 30w more then the GTX 1060 so yeah...things might go bad plus it have only a 6 pin connector. But you can upgrade the GPU if newer comes out so that is a plus for me. Now on the CPU side of things. You can upgrade that also to max i7 7700 for the time being no K sku tho since they use 30w more? (atleast on spec sheets) even if it will work it is useless because the bios won't allow any overclocking or anything. The only think you can do is undervolting the CPU in Intel XTU but that is all. What about memory? This is a tricky one...the site will tell you it only support max 2133Mhz but the one i got shipped to me have 8Gigs 2400Mhz memory so yeah don't know what is going on there? Will it support higher speed? To be honest i don't know, but i will test it if i get faster memory (3000Mhz) soon. The mainboard/bios don't have XMP options and the memory it self are SODIMM's same stuff you will find in your laptop. Mainboard Custom H110 Chipset with kaby lake support nothing special. Storage Options 1 SATA 2.5 Drive for either SSD or HDD and 1 m.2 slot nothing more. Does it run hot and what about noise? No...not in my case atleast. But i only got the i5 model so the i7 one might get hotter. GPU temps are around 65c (in overwatch Epic settings 1080p) with max temp around 77c in furmark The cpu in Prime95 never hit above 74c for 6 hour run with furmark also running. My room temp is around 19c so i was impressed by the cooling design and it really works. For noise on max load 37db max with Prime95 and furmark running what is also decent not silent but not that load either. Benchmarks...none we all know how the GTX 1060 performs but if you really want to see FPS numbers leave a comment. Overall, i really like the Trident 3! It small size what fits in my backpack it a great lan party PC and can be upgraded in some extend the only limiting factor in 3 years would be the CPU because intel always change the socket... If you are planning getting this macine pre-installed with windows 10...REINSTALL WINDOWS the CPU was underpeforming thanks to all the bloatware even when i removed everyhing so reinstalling windows 10 is recommended!

i am interested because then i can ditch my gigabyte brix gaming AMD that can barely game and runs hot whatever you do. Zotac machine would be the perfect replacement

Updated!

i will do that for sure and gigabyte should done that in the first place no one would even mind that extra 1,5cm it is still small

bigger cooler is not possible giving it more and better fans is not sure how i gonna get a bigger case for this might let one make custom for it i only need to at 1,5cm to the case to put 4 fans in it
