Hello everyone, I have Gigabyte geforce gtx 1650 d6 oc (rev.2.0). Who had experience with thermal pad replacement on this card, pls tell which thermal pads are needed (size,thickness).

Hello Forums, I have my RTX 3070ti for a while, and I was gaming fine on it and today I experienced a weird issue only when I am gaming. As suddenly the screen disconnect and blank screen shows and I couldn't go to task manager or display anything. The only thing I can do is do a hard reset on my PC. My drivers are up to date (536.67) After quick troubleshooting found out this error in event viewer: Faulting application name: dwm.exe, version: 10.0.22621.1635, time stamp: 0x6201aae6 Faulting module name: dwmcore.dll, version: 10.0.22621.1928, time stamp: 0x26557d25 Exception code: 0x8898008d Fault offset: 0x0000000000119223 Faulting process id: 0x0x43E0 Faulting application start time: 0x0x1D9C0A8FF8F0DDB Faulting application path: C:\Windows\system32\dwm.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\system32\dwmcore.dll Report Id: dc6b0582-dbe9-472a-9748-e20d8cbd0812 Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID: + System - Provider [ Name] Application Error [ Guid] {a0e9b465-b939-57d7-b27d-95d8e925ff57} EventID 1000 Version 0 Level 2 Task 100 Opcode 0 Keywords 0x8000000000000000 - TimeCreated [ SystemTime] 2023-07-27T16:40:09.5667621Z EventRecordID 14334 Correlation - Execution [ ProcessID] 11268 [ ThreadID] 13560 Channel Application Computer Lynx-PC - Security [ UserID] S-1-5-90-0-1 - EventData AppName dwm.exe AppVersion 10.0.22621.1635 AppTimeStamp 6201aae6 ModuleName dwmcore.dll ModuleVersion 10.0.22621.1928 ModuleTimeStamp 26557d25 ExceptionCode 8898008d FaultingOffset 0000000000119223 ProcessId 0x43e0 ProcessCreationTime 0x1d9c0a8ff8f0ddb AppPath C:\Windows\system32\dwm.exe ModulePath C:\Windows\system32\dwmcore.dll IntegratorReportId dc6b0582-dbe9-472a-9748-e20d8cbd0812 PackageFullName PackageRelativeAppId Followed by: The Desktop Window Manager process has exited.

I could hear the ingame music but no display. Now I am not sure what is causing that as the only suspicion to me was windows update KB5028254 which have updates about some display settings. Not sure if I need to do ddu or remove the update and go again? Have anyone encountered that issue?

Budget (including currency): 1300€ Country: Germany Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Apex Legends, Cs:Go, GTA 5, Rainbow Six Siege Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Old pc died =new build after 8 years... Need a PC for 1440p/144hz gaming and im unsure about the CPU and GPU. Is it worth going for the Ryzen 7000 Series even though I'd need a more expensive Motherboard and more expensive DDR5 Ram, for future proofing my PC or go with maybe a 5000 Series CPU? Same goes for the GPU. Are the new 40-Series GPUs really worth it or is let's say a 30-Series more than enough for gaming? Any recommendations and/or tips are welcome

Hello everyone! I'm creating a topic here because I need some really good help. I've been planning to upgrade my GPU for a while, and my mind was focused on either a 3060 or a 3060ti, having watched the reviews on the channel I was pretty convinced. But lately I've been reading a lot of articles regarding the fact that nowdays 8GBs of VRAM are not actually that much anymore, so now I don't really know which card I should go for. I sold my old PC to a friend of mine, and I need to get my 1060 out of the system and put it in the other one before giving it to him, so I need a new GPU asap. My budget can go really up to 400ish euros, and my current rig I have a: Ryzen 5600X ASUS ROG-STRIX B550-A GAMING 16 GB 3200 750w ASUS ROG STRIX 80 GOLD PSU Since I don't have much knowledge of the current gen GPUs, I'm asking you guys help, either from team green of red. Thanks in advance!

So I have dual GPU system, a 2070 super and GTX 980. My intentions were to use the 2070 super for modern gaming, then the 980, as a capable card for rendering and outputting analogue video for retro-gaming through Batocera But, batocera cannot work with a dual Nvidia GPU setup. Unfortunately, the typical ways of disabling a GPU on linux are not available on Batocera because of how it's distro is setup. I cannot use windows, firstly because Nvidia drivers are bugged and causes a crash when setting super resolutions (needed on windows for GTX 980 video output to CRT) and Retroarch CRTswitchres, which is needed for convenient CRT video display, practically doesn't work on windows. On a previous topic I made, I was recommend virtualization and to only passthrough the 980; which I made decent progress on using virt-manager to successfully run batocera in VM; but my current barrier is GPU pass-through. I'm frankly not sure how to do it. Last time I tried, I think I accidentally bound the SSD with my linux install to the passthrough driver because they were in the same IOMMU group as the 980, breaking my install (Pop-os) Woops. Now I'm unsure what to do before going back at it. I could continue to struggle with linux and virtualization, but it's wearing on me. I think I should get the 980 in a IOMMU group that won't break linux if I have to bind everything in it to the pass through driver; and maybe there's a magic linux command that can help or I could install pop-os or a different distro to another drive and see if that helps me get the group bound so I can access the 980 with virt manager, or I could swap what slots the GPUs are in, or some combination of the above... I'm just hoping to get some more direction and help, or sane alternatives to anything I'm trying. I was also recommended to build another PC (Price concerns, a shell of a pc to put the 980 in at $75 is all I would really be able to afford, and I lose the compute of my 5600x for emulation) or sell either card and pick an AMD alternative (Selling stuff is annoying and I don't want to move to a mixed vendor setup or full AMD, and the 980 is already optimal, I can go on) Which is why I feel like I'm running out of solutions. If virtualization is a flop, for performance reasons or just a plain lack of working, I'm not sure what else to do that doesn't involve spending a bunch of money. My dream product rn would be like a PCIE to PCIE adapter that has an off switch so I could disconnect the 2070 super from the system without wearing out the connectors, so I could just use normal Batocera.

I updated my nvidia drivers (last version was from 2020). Now I tried to play games and after ~10 minutes of playing, my pc shut off suddenly. It keeps happening so it wasn't a one time thing. How do I fix this.

No, this post is not a how-to guide. I am literally making this thread just to tell you all about the Android tablet Nintendo released back in 2017 that comes with a docking station to plug your mice and keyboards into, and it also allows for video output. What do you all think of this? Is it pointless to use an Android tablet with a full keyboard, mouse, and monitor? Also, due to Android running off an SD card, it feels slow, but it actually can game quite nicely. What is it with many computers being able to feel slow but still game surprisingly well?

Hey there So, my last post was about my mostly bought used - upgrade of my system everything arrived, looking good (backplate of the scythe mugen is missing but after a google search it seems scythe cant produce a fitting am4 backplate anyway so i did some stuff myself to mount the cooler) Specifically the gpu: i got a RTX 3060 Ti Zotac Twin Edge Not the OC But i think( dont have the box) it is an LHR card. I dont care about mining so doesnt matter i only want to enable resizeable bar and obviously you need to update the vbios for that. and if you select the lhr version in zotacs download center, theres just no bios update. only for the non-lhr there is one and its not working with my card, tried it. gpu-z shows all indications that im able to use rebar...(Asus x470 prime pro, bios version 6063; ryzen 5 5600x, gpt boot drive etc.) Am i doing something wrong? or is there no rebar for lhr cards? Thanks in advance for your answers

To my understanding, a graphics card that display artifacts can either have a dying GPU or faulty VRAM, correct? In the first case, it's just a matter of time for the card to die altogether, with the GPU losing contact with the die. But if it's the VRAM, can it be used as a secondary graphics card for a SLI setup, or would the artifacts be displayed on the screen? Someone told me that the GTX 1000 series was projected to display a black screen if any sector of the VRAM is faulty, and that's why you don't often find artifacting GTX 1000 GPUs. Does it work similarly on another generation of cards, so I can distiguish between good or bad SLI candidates?

Hi everyone, this is a continuation from another thread where I figured out that the problem isn't windows related but GPU driver, here's the first thread: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1518959-bios-load-fast-rtx-4090-driver-load-is-very-slow-black-screen-then-w10-appears-before-password/#comment-16034102 One day I noticed that my pc started to boot slower than usual, before it was 40 seconds (and windows is loaded) but now, it takes up to 1 minute and 7 seconds to load windows, after loading bios it stays black, so I thought maybe it's a gpu driver issue. With DDU I removed it (to upgrade to a newer one) and windows loaded after only 30 seconds (gpu driverless), so defenately a gpu driver issue. When I installed the newer driver it was back to 1m and 7 seconds (before it was only 40 seconds). I always download gpu drivers manually, not with geforce experience. Here's my pc config: CPU: Amd 3950x Mobo: Asus Tuf x570 gaming GPU: MSI 4090 Gaming Trio NVME: Samsung Pro 980 2TO PSU: MPG A1000G Sound card: FocUSrite Scarlett Solo 3Rd Gen EDIT: Fast Startup is disabled, I removed all the usb connected except the mouse and keyboard, I even removed some DP and HDMI from the gpu, nothing changed. Any idea what it could be? Does anyone saw something similar? and please, I know that a fresh windows install could correct this, but I would like to avoid deleting/reinstalling all my programs and android parameters, I would like to troubleshoot and understand the problem. Thanks everyone Final EDIT: I found the solution!

I am planning to build a pc but I am at loss to choose between RTX 4070 gaming x trio 12 GB or RX 6950 XT gaming x trio 16 GB. enlighten me please ! i need the PC for video editing streaming and also gaming most of them are AAA games

Hi, I'm new to this forum. Not sure if this is the right area to ask this question. I'm using an ai benchmarker from this website, https://ai-benchmark.com/ranking_deeplearning.html. It was the only ai benchmarker I could find that I could understand. For some reason the results are in AMD's favor. I always thought ai wasn't good enough on AMD, but it's beating out the 4090! Am I using this benchmark wrong or has AMD really gotten good recently? Also if anyone knows another benchmark I could use, that would be wonderful.

Hello community, I have an Intel based gaming PC from 2020 with an RTX 3080 which is working great. For my brother I have build an AMD gaming PC in 2021. In first place he used an "Asus TUF GAMING OC Radeon RX 6900 XT 16 GB" which worked with Games well. But this GPU doesn't worked well with his special applications like ARCHICAD or Space Engine. Bad performance or sometimes black screen in the application. According to some forums this applications are more compatible with NVIDIA GPU's. So we bought some weeks ago an "Asus TUF GAMING GeForce RTX 4070 Ti". But the problem is with the NVIDIA, that the clock speed is always 825 MHz. I found out with the tool "GPU-Z", that bus interface is always 1.1. Power supply has 850 Watt, so there should be enough power. What I already tried: Installed new Windows 11 on additional SSD drive. Installed the newest drivers and Nvidia driver via Nvidia Experience. With the ASUS tool Armoury Crate, checked and installed drivers and also ASUS GPU Firmware (I think this is for the LED effects AURA). Installed the newest BIOS Version and reset settings to default. Checked power supply connections, two separate cables are connected to the NVIDIA power adapter. At Corsair 850 W power supply there is a switch for SINGLE and MULTIPLE. -> I set it to SINGLE. Tipp from ASUS support: Turn OFF in Windows Power Management "Turn Link State Power Management". Checked with tool "GPU-Z": PCI-Express x16 Port always use bus interface 1.1 instead of 4.0. According to ASUS Support, there could be a technical problem at the new GPU. So I send it back and I will buy a new RTX 4070 Ti. But before I send it back, I installed the RTX 4070 Ti at my Intel based PC and it performed normal. So I don't think that it will work with a new RTX 4070 Ti... Also I tested my RTX 3080 at the AMD PC and it's working good. PCI bus interface is 4.0 according to "GPU-Z" but according to UserBenchmark GPU performance is much to low... My question is, what can I try next when I get the new RTX 4070 Ti and still has bad performance? This is the PC setup: OS - Windows 11 x64 (Installed 2 weeks ago on a additional SSD for testing) OS is fully activated. Hardware is from December 2021. GPU is new. Motherboard: Asus TUF GAMING X570-PRO (WI-FI) ATX AM4 (BIOS Version: 4602) CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 3.8 GHz 8-Core CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 82.5 CFM CPU Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 64 GB (4 x 16 GB) DDR4-3000 CL16 Storage: Samsung 980 Pro 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Video Card: Asus TUF GAMING GeForce RTX 4070 Ti 12 GB Power Supply: Corsair HX850 Platinum 850 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully Modular ATX Case: Fractal Design Meshify 2 ATX Mid Tower I'm a bit desperate, because I think there could be a hardware problem in a different component... Because the RTX 4070 worked at my Intel PC and my RTX 3080 had also bad performance at the AMD PC... But maybe there are some BIOS settings or Tools that I can test, if it's helping or to get information what component is not working. And when it's a hardware problem the question is if I can get a replacement from the manufacturer under warranty. Thank you for helping me. Greetings, Alex

I've been planning on building my own PC soon and have been doing my research on all the parts I'll need but have had some trouble with deciding on GPU. It feels like after hours of research I'm no closer to an answer than before. As I was searching I've noticed everyone seems to be up in arms against Nvidia and their 40 series GPU and a lot of the reviews have a negative/disapproving vibe to them. On the other hand, AMD has it's own share of haters and supporters and it's difficult to tell if they're being genuine. I'm just hoping for an unbiased opinion on the topic. When looking at the 40 series I can feel an ache in my wallet for sure but from what I can tell it seems like they're more reliable than AMD but AMD is a better bang for your buck so long as you don't care about ray tracing (Which I really don't). Also, for the record, I'm not looking at the best performing GPUs from both companies, I know the 4090 is the best performing GPU right now but what I'm looking for is a balance of performance, reliability, power management, heat management, and cost (If I forget some other important factor, that too) I understand I'm asking for a lot but I don't need a specific recommendation on the exact GPU, more so just deciding on team green vs team red for now. EDIT: My budget is flexible but I'm not looking for best of the best so the price range I'm aiming for is below 1000$

I have a weird problem with my RTX 2060 Super. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't (no display at all). When it doesn't work, the GPU fan is very loud and keeps spinning like that. Then, I let the computer rest for a few hours, turn it on again, and the GPU fan spins fast for a few seconds before it starts working fine. I can use the computer for a few hours, doing light tasks like browsing, and suddenly there's no display again. The GPU fan starts spinning fast, and I have to wait a few hours to be able to use it again. This cycle keeps repeating. This issue has occurred on three different computers, with both Ryzen and Intel combinations. I've tried using three different power supply units, but the problem remains the same. Is it a heat issue? I don't think so because sometimes it doesn't work even after waiting for a few hours, while other times I only need to turn it off for about 15 minutes to make it work again. The timing is inconsistent. Is it a driver issue? No, because it doesn't even post when I experience this problem. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

Hello, new Asus Dual RTX 4060Ti card, I've already replaced the card once, the first time I got strangely dirty fins on the rear heatsink and now some white spots ... I don't know what it could be, the card works properly. The only thing that comes to my mind is moisture? and how Asus stores cards.... Asus, asus washes his hands, tells you to exchange if you don't like it ...

My fans of my graphic do not want to turn, I have disassembled and tested separately and if they work, it is a problem on her motherboard. I already tried with msi afterburner software to move the speed and they do not rotate. model nvidia 1660 super evga

Budget (including currency): 350-400 USD Country: México Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Adobe Premiere Pro, 4k Editing and Halo Infinite Other details My build so far: i7 13700K, Gigabyte 850W Gold PSU, 16GB DDR4, Noctua Noctua NH-D15 for cooling. I want to buy a new GPU, currently I'm using a 1660 TI from work but I have to disconnect it from the office pc to take home and its becoming tedious. I want one that doesnt make a bottleneck with my cpu, but I cant afford a highend gpu just yet. Im torn between AMD and Nvidia. I've seen the reviews from the 4060 series and they dont look good. I've always used Nvidia and I don´t know how AMD works with the Adobe Suite. I'm looking to buy a 6700XT of save a little bit more to buy a 4070. Any advice here? (Can´t buy an used one cause customs always take my ebay stuff and in facebook marketplace they sell a 1660 like a 3060TI) 6700XT - 415.40 USD

Hi Everyone, I’m looking to buy a gaming pc, and am currently on the fence between the Nvidia 4070 ti vs the Radeon 7900XTX. I have heard that in non-RT titles, AMD is faster. Here is a couple of factors which keep me on the fence: I want to play at 1440p and higher I am interested in ray tracing I cannot buy a more expensive gpu The way I see it is that to buy the AMD would sacrifice ray tracing because of Nvidia DLSS and better RT on Nvidia RTX cards. A couple questions I have is: How big is the performance margin with FSR 2.1 and RT and how will FSR 3.0 change things? Which would be a better card for me to get, and should I wait a while for the rumoured 4070 super (releasing in 2023-Q4 to 2024-Q1)?

This is prob a stupid question but I want to be sure. I'm going from a PNY 4070ti oc to a PNY 4080 oc. I kick myself every day for not just buying the 90 when I built this and had the money. I had a small windfall and was able to upgrade some. This isn't something that happens a lot or I would hold out for the 90ti. I have the newest driver installed already. I would think it can just be plug and play. I don't know for sure tho. Do I need to remove the software and allow Windows to discover the new hardware first?

Hey there hope you are well. My laptop just started to stutter and the FPS dropped (a lot). When i check the readings on the Nvidia overlay panel, it GPU utilization is 100% while the CPU is at 0. Help would be most appreciated. I am rocking an MSI GS73VR 7VRG with Nvidia 1070 maxQ i7-7700HQ The games that i player are FIFA 23 and GTA V. Thank You for your time.

I bought a second hand gaming PC earlier in the month to start getting into PC Gaming. The PC came equipped with a standard RTX 2070 8GB and also an i7 9700 overclocked to 4.5ghz. I noticed within a couple days that games such as Spider-man Remastered, GTA V and Payday 2 would only boot up for a few seconds before crashing and giving me the attached error message. I managed to look online and found that by opening the Nvidia control panel and selecting the "Debug Mode" this would potentially rectify my issue, it has; but only when Debug Mode is enabled. I also have noticed in the last few days that I am getting frequent stuttering on every game I'm playing regardless of if it's running at Ultra or Low settings and regardless if I'm getting 60fps or 144+ fps. Is my GPU the issue and is there any way I can fix this without buying a new GPU entirely? Cheers!

Hi, guys. My rig is about 10 years old now, and was thinking of upgrading just my GPU as that is all that I can afford at the moment. My rig is as follows. Intel i5-3550 3.3 GHz Quad-Core Processor Intel DZ75ML-45K Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard Corsair Vengeance 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR3-1600 CL9 Memory Seagate BarraCuda 1 TB 3.5" 7200 RPM Internal Hard Drive Sapphire Tri-X Toxic Radeon R9 270X 2 GB Video Card Circle CC830 ATX Mid Tower Case Here is the PC Part Picker link as well just in case. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/b7hyd9 I was thinking of upgrading the GPU to an 8 GB or 12 GB NVidia one. I primarily want to resume using this rig for gaming and 3D animation and VFX. Can you guys please suggest which one would be good? Thanks in advance.

I have a Nvidia Shield TV P2897 (2017) and it has been in a box for a few years. I have the Controller, Remote and the Box. I was trying to setup a box in the living room that I could play some remote games, emulate older games and stream some shows. Here is what I found. -Nothing seems to be compatible with the Shield anymore. Real Racing, most of the Nvidia software and many other games and apps are no longer functioning or are unable to install because it was pulled from the Play store. -Apps keep crashing. No idea why but about half the video streaming apps close or crash after a few minutes. -I can't get RetroArch to read a external USB stick. I am unable to xfer any games to the unit. -Lots of other small stuff does not work. Can't list them all. I have factory reset the device and installed any updates available from Nvidia. So, is this device dead? Should I just switch to the Free Xfinity Stream box thing my ISP gave me? Seems like a waste to not use it. PS: Yes, I spent hours searching online for solutions and not many prople have this device so there is not a lot for it. I know Linus has one so I was hoping I could get some help from this community. Thank you all in advance. -Zombie (no my pic)
