The GPU is for sure the issue. As i tried the GPU on other rigs and it did not work. 1050 ti worked in my system. The Service Centre confirmed that the card is dead. My question is : is it just luck, or could have i done anything that killed the card? Everything else seems to work fine now with 1050ti.

Section 1: Just for context. Not important. You may skip to section 2. I am a casual gamer. 4 months ago I decided to build my first PC. Joined this forum, devoured every video on Linus, Bitwit, Jayz2cents & Indian gamer. Post research of 3 months, put together my pc 1 month ago. Specs are as follows: CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 - Rs 15500 Cooler: Cooler Master 240mm MB12 Liquid Cooler MoBo: X570 TUF Gaming Plus Wifi Graphics: PowerColor Red Dragon 5700XT - Rs 34900 Ram: G Skill Trident Z Neo 3600Mhz - Rs 10600 SSD: Silicon Power M.2 Nvme 512 GB - Rs 5500 PSU: RM850(2019) Case: Cooler Master H500 The pc posted in the first go. Windows upload was smooth. No driver issue. It worked perfectly. Section 2: Important I started with playing CS Go and Battlefield 1. CS Go worked like a charm, 290FPS at top settings. Battlefield 1: Worked well. 150FPS at Ultra Settings. But often crashed with the following error: " directx function "DX11 Renderer::tryMap" failed with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED ("The video card has been physically reomved from the system, or a driver upgrade for the video card has occurred. ").GPU:"AMD Radeon RX 5700XT", Driver:19.12.2. This error is usually casued by the graphics driver crashing; try intsalling the latest drivers. Also, make sure you have a supported grpahics card with at least 2GB. " After a month, I decided to move from Battlefield 1 to Battlefield 5. The driver of the card(5700xt) was up to date. This where the issue started. The game was super stuttery on the first start. Clicks were getting registered with a 1 min delay. Somehow reached video settings, and changed display settings from 60hertz to 144hertz. Instantly, everything was smooth. Played the game for half an hr and then suddenly screen went dark, no Display. Display port was not detecting. After doing all the checks, found out the the graphics card is dead. The service center confirmed. Card will now be replaced in 30-45 days. rented a 1050ti for the time being. Computer is working again with no problem. Yet to start a game. Questions: As a first time builder, i might sound paranoid, but really wanna know what happened here: Q1: Where can the issue be? Is it just bad card? Or could have i done something software or assembly wise that could have killed the card? Note: the card never went over 80 degrees (94 degree junction) anytime. The reason that I am worried about this is that I assumed that Graphics Card are a durable part of a PC. They dont die on miners. Thats probably why they are confident to give 3 years warranty. What happened here. Q2: For the time being, will CS Go and Battlefiled 5 run on 1050ti?

thank you for your replies.

MSI tomahawk max has only one pcie 3.0 x16 port - which will be occupied by my Graphics Card. Does this mean that the M.2 NVME SSD will work on Pcie 2.0 speeds? Would that mean reduced performance? I have read that whenever you plug in a M.2 SSD, it either disables Sata Ports (if its M.2 Sata) or a Pcie Slot ( if it is NVME). Hence, i am under the impression that you have to have a Pcie 3.0 X4 slot left, if you want to use an NVME ssd. Is that not so? Short Question : Can i run 1 graphic card and 1 nvme ssd at their full performance in MSI Tomahawk Max

thanks for the reply

I am getting these two options at roughly the same price: a) A well known brand's 2060 Super (like Asus Stix or Gigabyte Auors) b) Galax or Zotac's 2070 Super Are Galax and Zotac good brands? I am looking for performance and reliability.
