Previous System: Ryzen 5 5600x EVGA Geforce GTX 980 SC x570 Aorus ELITE WIFI New System: Ryzen 9 5900x EVGA Geforce GTX 980 SC <------ Broken x570 Aorus ELITE WIFI I swapped my old 5600 for a new 5900. When the computer booted it asked me to reset itfx??? or something like that i forget the exact name. I thought it was because it wanted me to update the bios considering it was asking me to do so because a new cpu was detected. I declined and it came back. Since it warned me to disable bitlocker and my pin before doing so, i powered down my pc and swapped back to the 5600. This is where my nightmare began. I turned the pc back and my screen remained blank. at first i thought i bricked my motherboard, but since all my rgb was coming on, i figured it wasn't the issue. So i started troubleshooting parts and when i swapped out my gpu the login screen came up. I went ahead and re swapped the cpus and and reset itfx??? GPU still doesn't work. Tried redownloading the drivers, they don't detect the gpu. currently have them installed like this

So I am looking to upgrade my old gtx 1080 soon assuming the evga queue continues at its current pace, but my question is, I have a gtx 980 running as a slave card atm due to needing extra outputs (I have 6 monitors) Does anyone think an 850 w psu can handle an rtx 3080 along with one of those 2 cards or do I need a new psu? Full build: Intel i7-7700k Asus maximus ix code Evga gtx 1080 ftw Evga gtx 980 sc Evga 850 w 80+ gold

Hi all, I would like to have your thoughts about my idea of "renovating" my crappy gaming computer. So let me sum up the parts in this weird "it's doing it's thing pretty ok" machine. Orignal bought a Asus Predator G3 605: https://www.cnet.com/products/acer-predator-g3-605-e-tower-core-i5-4590-3-3-ghz-8-gb-1-tb/ CPU. Intel Core i5 (4th Gen) 4590 / 3.3 GHz. Well so far I only mention the CPU, because that's what not have been upgraded so far (and the case). The rest is a GTX 980 4GB (Gigabyte), 16GB DDR3 ram, SSD as Harddisk, New Powersupply (think it has 650W now). What I had in mind, was to change the CPU to a i7-4790k, I can find these here refurbished for €250 ($304,88). And at a later stage swapping the GTX 980 for the RTX 3060 (when they are more current on the market). Or would this be a waste of resources, and should I just man up, start saving for something between €1500-€2000. Thanks for your opinion and enjoy the hollidays! -Pangs

Budget (including currency): 500 € give or take. Cheaper the better, can do more if the build is really worth the difference. Country: Portugal Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: I will want to play new games such as Call of Duty, FarCry..... Other details Case: NZXT H440 CPU: i5 4690K CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO MotherBoard: ASUS SABERTOOTH Z97 MARK 2 RAM: 2x 8GB - 16GB KINGSTON HYPERX DDR3 1666Mhz CL10 GPU: ASUS STRIX GTX980 POWERSUPPLY: Cooler Master 750S + 80 GOLD SSD: CORSAIR SSD FORCE LS 240GB HDD: WD 1TB MONITOR: BENQ XL2411Z 144hz - 1920x1080 I was thinking about upgrading CPU+Motherboard+RAM. My SSD might also need a upgrade.... Initial thoughts on CPU was AMD Ryzen 3600. Is it worth it? Is there something better at this price range, maybe intel? I think my GTX980 might be good enough for a while , or so i hope... Thanks for the help everyone ! Stay safe !!!

So im planning on buying a used RX 570 or a GTX 970. but for a few months I will be having to use it with my old mobo, which is an Asrock G41M-S3. As this mobo is about 10 years or more old, will it bottleneck the performance of the GPU or maybe even not support it?

Hello all, I have had a GTX 980 for about 5 years now. For over half that time I have been having this issue. When gaming my screen will randomly crash to the black screen that shows that its on but nothing is plugged in. CTRL ALT delete and nothing else works- the only thing I can do is hold the power button to hard reset. It is almost always random but with the Witcher 3 it would happen in certain spots over and over which would impede my progress. This did allow me to film what was happening, though. Here is a link to a minute long video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DvMXQ6cZHc&t=2s It does not happen when watching videos or browsing the internet, only when gaming probably about every hour. Namely the Witcher 3, GTAV, Fallout 4, modded Skyrim, Assassins Creed Origins and others. So seemingly newer, high end games but I have 100 plus hours on Red Red Redemption 2 and if it ever happened it was only once or twice where I don't remember. I have changed power supplies, cords, and monitors. I have swapped in my buddies 980TI and it did not crash so I don't think its the motherboard. I have upgraded from windows 7 to 10 and done fresh installs of each. I have the most recent driver always but have experimented with older drivers. It is not overheating- it usually sits in the low 70s at load and idles in low 40s. The only thing that does work is using MSI afterburner to underclock the card and move all of the dials all the way to the left. I don't think it has ever crashed when I do this but it irks me because I'm deliberately holding back what is supposed to be a performance product. The only things I can think of that I have not tried are changing the thermal paste- which I am doubtful about because temps seem fine- and using a non-HDMI port/cord, which would suck if it were the case because I use my TV which only does HDMI. I have been dealing with this for years and if anyone has any possible solution I would greatly appreciate it! The rest of my PC specs are below: Gigabyte Z97X-UD3H-BK motherboard Intel 4690k CPU OC'd to 4.3 EVGA GTX 980 FTW ACX 2.0 16GB G.Skill ram at 2133 Samsung EVO SSDs

Hi, I flight sim a lot, and use X-Plane. The new beta 11.5 is out that supports Vulkan, but I can't get it to work. I posted in the x-plane forum, but it's not exactly the most pro-active, snappy forum to get answers from, so I thought I'd see if anyone here can shed some light. Basically , it ain't working and I just want to confirm that A) Maxwell2 is OK with Vulkan 1.1, and B) Whether I need special drivers. Currently I'm using 445.75 (non DCH). Any wisdom appreciated. Ta, David

Yo everybody. I built my pc in 2015 and the setup is the following: CPU: i5 4690k w/ CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO MB: Asus Sabertooth z97 mk2 RAM: 2x 8gb 1600mhz DDR3 GPU: Asus Strix GTX980 4GB DDR5 I think this is the most important, my MB / RAM (ddr3) is outdated i guess. I pretty much only use PC for gaming, the game is play the most is CS:GO/ GTA V ,although i stopped playing new games because i fear the pc is not going to run smooth. So, can you guys advice me in which hardware I should switch? If so which models you recommend. Thank you for your time , Thanks in advance. Wilson.

Hi guys, I recently got a gtx 980 Windforce used, I didnt pay any money for it because my friend said it was dead. Turns out the card wasnt dead but has some weird problem I cant seem to fix. Under load the 980 just dies, black screen. It shouldnt be my power supply because i tried different units and I am currently running a 1000w corsair one. I already switched power supply cables, PCIE slots, motherboards, platforms etc. I am using the newest drivers and I even flashed the bios. The card doesnt seem to thermal throttle aswell, I cleaned it recently and on idle it barely goes 25° Celsius. I raised the power limit on the card and underclocked it as well, nothing works. My guess is that something on the card might be dead and that it cant handle power under load. I hope you guys have some advice for me. EDIT: I took the card apart again, found something on the pcb. I dont really know what it is, I cant seem to get it off with alcohol. Any Ideas what it could be?

Hello, I am having a problem with my GPU fan speed Fan speed is always at 3200+ RPM, even when idle EVGA precision shows 40% and 3200 RPM When I set it to 100% - percentage does change, but RPM stays the same GTX 980, win 7 x64, latest NVIDIA drivers, tried DDU screenshots from EVGA precision:

Hi forum, I need a suggestion... What would you rather do? I have a 7990 quadfire setup so two cards in crossfire for four GPUs... waterblocks for them are 80€ each plus expedition from China comes to about 175€ for both blocks... There is a guy close to me here who sells a GTX 980 hydro copper from evga for 130€... What would you do? Keep the 7990s and cool them more and crank up the clocks? Switch to 980? I have a 360mm rad plus a 120 so cooling capacity should not be a problem... Thanks and any suggestion is well accepted

Hi my fellow forum friend, I trying to start my youtube gaming channel few days ago, recorded some clips, trying to rendering it in Vegas Pro 14.0, it takes FOREVER, the cpu usage is maxed out but only 5% for my gtx980. I learnt that hardware acceleration might help. The integrated gpu shows up. However, i cannot find my gtx980 in the hardware acceleration list. Little help please? OS:windows 10 pro 64bits CPU:i5 4690k GPU: nvidia gtx980 GPU driver: 430.86 ram:16gb ddr3 this is so frustrating, ahhhhhhhhh

Hi everybody,I bought the IDCOOLING Frostflow 240G for my GTX980 few years ago.Recently I found that I used to plug connectors on the CHA_FAN,and it just can't monitor the GPU temp to control the speed.The official document just said connect it to 4pin D connector(idk if that it's called D connector).Is there anyway to control the speed?like plug to the GPU onboard connector?btw I can't find the pins on the GPU,maybe it's under the cooler Thx:)

Hello guys, Long story short, last wednesday I was playing BF1 for like 10 minutes when my pc straight shut down. Tried to reboot but it wouldn't. After 15 minutes it finally boot, logged in and check the temp, everything was fine. (CPU 35°C/GPU 33°C) 5/10 minutes into the session, the screen went black and half a sec later, I heard a little "pop" sound and a strong smell of burnt. In an other post I actually thought it was the PSU, so I returned my EVGA 650GQ and my bother in-law lended me an other PSU to test my system and that's when I figured out it was the GPU. First boot with the new psu, the fan spins for half a sec then nothing would happen if I pressed the power button again. So I unplug the gpu and tried to boot, it did. So I went grab an old GTX460 and the system booted into the bios normaly whatsoever. After close inspection of the gpu's pcb, I found some burnt spots. But to this day I still have no clue why my gpu burnt all of a sudden.. The GPU was a GTX 980 Windforce 3X OC from Gigabyte. My dad bought it when it first came out and gave it me to since he bought a 1080Ti. So it's not under warranty anymore. I OC'd the card with afterburner, do you think I did something wrong ? I raised the power limit to the max, +134mhz on the core and +100/150mhz on the memory (but I think it was +100), did not touch the voltage and the temp were great imo. In 2560x1080p high preset in BF1 the card was around 68/74 °C depending on ambient room temp. (BF1 was the most demanding game I played, I played Heroes of the Storm or Diablo as well but it was defenitly not pushing hard on the gpu.) The system is a Ryzen 2600, Dark Rock 4, X470 F-Gaming (bios set to perfomance mode), 2x8Go Ripjaws V 3200Mhz ("xmp" profil enabled), GTX980, 2HHD & 1 SSD and EVGA 650GQ as power supply. 4x140mm + 1x120mm fans for airflow inside a Phanteks P400. If I forget to mention some data please let me know, also, for the same price I can either have a Seasonic Focus+ 650W (platinum) or a Focus 750W (gold). What do you think would be best, I'm planning to buy either a Vega 56 or 1070Ti around Christmas. Thank for reading. ?

Starting a new job here pretty soon and wont be home nearly as much. Decided I needed a mobile gaming solution and bought a laptop. That means its time to sell the Desktop, I'm just not sure where to price it. Despite it starting to see a bit of age, it still sees 60+ FPS @ 1080p res on nearly everything I throw at it.

My EVGA GTX 980 SC ACX 2.0 card failed after 2.5 years of moderate usage. I filled out RMA and in couple weeks received my replacement from EVGA Taiwan. Brand new GTX 980 SC ACX 2.0 with Q.C. OK sticker on it. Didn't experience any issues at first. However couple days later GPU started artifacting when idling and during light PC usage. Browsing/Discord etc. with hardware acceleration enabled would cause GPU to freak out. I thought it could might incompatibility of driver for hardware acceleration during low boost state and adjusted Nvidia Control Panel settings accordingly. All started working fine. Managed to get 1500 Mhz stable OC with 4001 Mhz on the memory. Until I rebooted my PC. As soon as Nvidia drivers start initializing on boot or Windows login screen GPU starts artifacting. Works fine when under load or if I enable high performance mode within EVGA software. However seems like switching between lower boost state modes is what causes artifacts. I tried different hardware, including swapping out boot drive, PSU, pci cables and just switching to completely different PC. Other GPUs work fine in my build. This is very strange behavior and I am can't get my head around how this GPU could make through quality control. I wonder if I could fix the issue by modifying GPU BIOS. Is there a way to add voltage to low power state modes or disable clocking below 540 Mhz or disabling P08 and P05 boost states at all. From my observations seems like artifacts happen when GPU tries to jump from P08 (135Mhz) to higher boost states. Nothing when under load. No crashes in games or benchmarking software. https://imgur.com/a/gQtQJ

Hey guys, I just bought a new TV, the Samsung UE75MU7000. I connected this to many things, one of which is my computer. It has a GTX980 in it. I also have Plex and Netflix. I want to play both from my computer to the screen and not the native apps because I like to watch things faster than 1x speed and sadly this isn't possible in any native app on the TV. What I've noticed is, when I use plex and play it in the webplayer on my computer, displaying on the TV (set to 4k resolution) it is very choppy. Audio desyncs completely, even at 1x speed it's hard for it to follow. The image just can't keep up with the speed. When I use Netflix at 1.5x speed it can follow, audio never desyncs, I just don't get 4k (I think because the internet is not fast enough but I doubt that too). Could this problem be because I have a GTX980? All posts I find talk about gaming on 4k, but I'm not gaming, just showing. I doubt the GTX980 is not strong enough to drive a 4k TV but I honestly don't know what the problem could be. Does anybody have any idea? Kind regards.

Hello, there I think that my GPU might be dying..There are multiple different symptoms, which might be caused by different things, but the recent one made me think that it is probably the GPU. Full specs: CPU: i7 4790k (not overclocked at the moment) MB: ASUS Z97 Sabertooth Mark S GPU: Galax GTX980 HOF (it was overclocked for a very short period of time) RAM: Kingston DDR3 HyperX Fury 1866MHz (4 sticks x 4 Gb) PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower XT Platinum 1275W Snow Edition Storage: SK hynix SH910 - OS, Samsung 850 EVO - games, WD Black - storage Dual monitor setup. Both connected by DP. Symptoms: 1) A few month ago, my PC started to shutdown randomly, while gaming. This was caused by ASUS anti-surge protection. I've done some googling and turned it off in UEFI. Might not be the smartest thing to do... 2) After that it was OK for a few month. And then...Sudden PC freezes while gaming. Complete system freeze with a crazy sound loop, keyboard and mouse are not functioning. Sometimes even the reset button is not working, so I have to hold the power button to shut down. The game itself is not demanding. It is an ~8 years old MMORPG. This happens more often that the next 2 symptoms; 3) Nvidia drivers stopped responding...First both monitors go black, then a couple of seconds later everything is back to normal. Sometimes it does not go back to normal. Primary monitor which has a game on is still black, while the secondary one is OK; 4) Pixelation thing (artifacts?) that can be seen on a screenshot below. It only happens on a primary monitor, which displays a game. I can still play the game, restarting the game brings it back to normal. What I've tried so far: 1) Different driver versions - 385, 353, 362. I've been using DDU to remove the drivers before installing another version. 2) Remove braided PSU extensions and connect GPU power directly using original PSU cables. While doing so, I found out that 2 pins on an 8-pin connector were 2-3mm off. For better understanding, I've made a reconstrucion of how it was and took a photo: I plugged everything properly and this fixed a problem for a whole day. Then it came back again =) Also, I noticed that there was a single power cable for 2x8-pin power connectors. So I decided to try and use 2 separate 8-pin cables; 3) Swapping GPU. So I took GTX960 from another PC and it worked for 1-2 hours without any problems. Probably will test it for a couple of days next time, I shall also put my GPU in another PC and see what happens there; 4) Increasing GPU voltage in MSI afterburner. Did not help; 5) Decreasing GPU clock in MSI afterburner. Did help for a few hours; 6) Cleaned the GPU rad and fans, re-applying the thermal compound. So...Is it really dying? =( And how could I know for sure?

So i have this ghetto mounted aio on my GPU, and it sags, my temps were around 66C when under load and 42idle. I put a straw under it so it doesnt sag. My load temps went from 66C to 60C. And idle temps are 36C

So, i can run my gpu at +150v core and +25ml volt. But i can also run it at +180 with +37 vcore. Is it safe to run at max voltage? I mean my tempratures didnt change, when i play pubg my max temp is 66C, and in other games like overwatch its around 60C.
