I'm doing this kind of a long shot but it doesn't hurt to make a new account here and ask anybody. so here's the story I'm a kid that likes building computers I have done about a dozen now for friends and family and thought I would finally build my own so I ordered my parts and got a used Zotac amp 1080 TI off of Facebook Marketplace I know getting used GPUs comes with the risks but I have gotten plenty of good graphics cards in the past used. Anyways my problem is the graphics card works and has a video out but anytime I try to play A game or launch a GPU-intensive application without messing with the card on Zotac Firestorm it crashes. First off I have an EVGA 700 GD for my power supply on the +12v. It can deliver 699 Watts at 58.3 amps. I'm pretty dang sure that this power supply should be able to easily handle a 1080 TI. Using software I noticed that the card draws upwards of 290 to about 310 Watts which the power supply should be able to handle easily. I have checked drivers and checked the GPUs BIOS about four dozen times and have made 100% sure everything else in the computer works. I noticed the card does not overheat or show it's overheating but is it possible that despite the thermal sensors on the card there is a spot getting well above a recommended temperature? Going along with this using Zotac Firestorm when undervolting the graphics card to about -50 on the GPU clock and memory clock things work okay. So when undervolting the card a little bit things work all right I can run games without crashing but have had some instability issues still. it just sucks having just bought a new graphics card only to be able to run it at 70% of its full power, especially on a new build. I saw another thread from here about the power supplies not being able to handle the 1080 TI and saw some other stuff about the 1080 TI's components just getting old but I'm stuck and I need some help. Any advice would be awesome. For the build, I have an ASRock b450m pro 4 R5 5600x 16 gigs of Ram at 3600 from Team group. I have a 1 TB SP nvme drive and a 2 TB Seagate Barracuda An EVGA 700 GD and lastly, the Zotac 1080 TI amp extreme I don't know if it matters but the case is a Cooler Master q300l I'm using the cooler that came with the 5600x.

Hello, Im looking for some help with a colorful igame GTX 1080 ti vulcan AD graphics card that I recently bought (I didnt pay upfront, agreed to pay if it was working- thank goodness) 1) Placed into PCIE x16 slot with 8+8pin connection from PSU (650w, under recommended minimum but enough to test) on an old PC (Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3 + Intel Core i5-4670K). The fans did not spin. The centre fan LED pulsated red. Turned on the PC. No HDMI output. Switched to integrated graphics from CPU and loaded Windows 10. Started to install the recommended Nvidia drivers. During install, GEforce experience said it could not install drivers as there was no GPU installed. Reseated the GPU, didnt help. This computer was running a GTX 1060, then both RX 580 + RX 550. So the motherboard PCIE slots are working fine, and no issues with PSU. I uninstalled all drivers and tried to install Nvida drivers again, same issue - no GPU detected. 2) Placed the 1080 ti into PCIEx16 slot on new PC (Gigabyte X570 AORUS ELITE + AMD Ryzen 7 5800X + Corsair Rm 750i). I removed a RTX 3070, and replaced with 1080ti. Same issue, no output and not detected. 3) The 1080 ti was fairly rough. Had some rust, dust, and dirt on it. So I opened it up and cleaned with Isopropyl, cleaned the chip and reapplied thermal paste; put back together looking alot cleaner. There were no obvious shorts, or burns, or signs of damage. the rust was mainly on chasis and screws. The PCB was ok. 4) installed again into old PC. Same, LED comes on GPU + no fan + no output + not detected. 5) Created a MS Dos USB boot disk and used NVFlash to update the VBios. When I launched the exe file with the nvflash -4 -5 -6 BIOSromname.ROM, the error message said no Nvida adaptors detected. Based on the above, the GPU is the issue but I dont know what the fault is and whether it can be repaired. I kind of think that it is a power problem because the motherboards need a powered GPU for detection, however the LED light turns on but no fan? Keen to hear if this GPU can be salvaged or confirmation it is a brick.

My 1080 ti always did work in win 10 with my 4k tv , it did work for some time in win 11 , Now when i turn on the computer the fan dose not turn if i use the build in video card it tells me1080 ti system resources not free plz free up system resources in order to use. When the computer does go into sleep mode i have to unplug plug unplug plug the hdmi into the projector 80% of the time 20% of the time nothing the fan does not start. I got the motherboard 70% off the retail price , based on how little are much you turn the screws on cpu , ram m.2 pci e does not work , i think the lines are broken and the force makes them touch but it has worked fine for 2 years. is it win 11 are the vid card are maybe the semi broken monthboard which has been working for years? i did a stress test on the gpu all was fine used it for 4 days fine , it when i turn off are enter sleep mode restarting is fine,

Hey, I got a nzxt h1 and msi gaming x 1080ti(used) (325x140) recently. the gpu would definitely not fit. would it be okay if just keep it open case and keep gpu on something to avoid force on riser cable. any suggestions will definitely help. thanks in advance.

The issue: So I've been having a curious problem with my 1080 Ti. It's quite vague to describe, but sometimes (on stock clocks) my GPU suddenly has a strong FPS drop (30-60% decrease). This happens completely unpredictably and it doesn't matter whether this happens during gaming or during a benchmark, the FPS will remain lowered by 30-50% regardless of what application I run until I reboot the system. . I've found a way to reliably reproduce it, so maybe we can get to the bottom of this. If I raise the max voltages on MSI afterburner (+100 mv) while using my stable overclock (+60 core, +500 mem) or even stock clocks, after 2-3 minutes of a Heaven benchmark the FPS will halve and the power draw will drop from around 280-310 watts to 180-230 watts. Once this happens, the GPU will behave like this in any application until I reboot. Now I don't think this has to do with instability of the overclocks. Going higher than +75 on the core clock crashes the application as can be expected, but at 0 to +60 mhz without overvolting it's completely stable except for that once in a week FPS and power drop. Temps shouldn't be the reason either as even with the +100 voltage and overclocks I rarely cross the 70°C threshold (max 84°C hotspot/VRAM temperature). Max 50% of the 16GB available RAM is usually used. VRAM usage is usually withing 2GB when the problem happens. Things I've tried: - Reinstall Nvidia drivers - Check for parked cores during the issue - Disable fast boot (both in bios and Windows) - Set power settings to high performance in Windows and Nvidia control panel - Unplug the USB controller (this was the culprit for someone else) - Check task manager for memory leaks or some CPU-intensive background process - Install Windows 11 (because why not) - Reapply thermal paste The weird thing is that this problem has been documented among varying Pascal GTX's the past 4 years and is not application-specific. It almost seems as if the whole GPU goes into a low power state that is only re-set by a full system reboot. It's not a memory leak, not a thermal issue, so what can it be? Maybe my 650W PSU isn't enough (but shouldn't it then just throttle or crash instead of going into this weird low power with normal clock speed state?). Any suggestions would be great! I'll provide whatever info or run whatever test you need!

hay guys my gtx 1080 ti keeps crashing like as soon as i get past the menu or secends after i start on almost every game i got and i tryed to see what it was doin in mis kombuster it wont make it past 50% didnt get over 65 degree c.... i updated to the latest ncida deiver 466.47 i think and did windows updates and it still dose it idk what to do now

Hello. I want to buy thermal pads for my GPU, because I GPU temperature is getting near 90 C. I cannot get reliable information on what size of thermal pads I need for this. I can disassemble it and measure them, but don't want to, until I have thermal paste and thermal pads. Does anyone can help me here?

Firstly I'm not sure if this question belongs to this subreddit, but I hope someone can help me out, every data I have will be in this thread, if you need more info please let me know!

Hello everyone in this category, I have a 750watt 80+ Gold Unit from micro center being the PowerSpec brand. It has two 8 pin pcie connectors, and the psu comes with an 8 pin to dual 6 pin and an 8 pin to dual 8 pin. The single ends, (not the dual), could they be plugged in to the psu if only one connector is populated? (In the psu)

Hi everyone! I hope you are staying safe and healthy Until today, I was using my Cooler Master B700 V2 (RS-700-ACAB-B1) to power up the following system: Intel Xeon E3-1245 v2 (close to i7-3770) 16Gb HyperX Fury DDR3 1600MHz Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 G1 Asus B75M-A motherboard 3 HDDs, 1 SSD Things were rather smooth, I had nothing to complain about, until I tried to upgrade to GTX 1080 Ti GameRock by Palit The system started, but there was no video signal from the video card. I was able to get into the BIOS once after I switched off all my SATA devices, so I tried to re-plug the video card, check if I connected it properly - all in vain. When I tried to re-plug my SATA devices and use my CPU's graphics to get into the OS, I was able to do it but the 1080 Ti was not showing in the device manager. I tried plugging the video card into my friend's PC with a be quiet! Pure Power 9 700W PSU and it did work. I also tried to plug it into another friend's PC with a be quiet Dark Power Pro 850W PSU and it did work, while another 1080 Ti (from MSI this time) did not work at my end for some reason. Do you guys think I should change my PSU as it's insufficient for such a build (I know it's not balanced but I can't afford to swap the system completely at once) and I should change it? I was sure that B700 v2 will be enough to power up a 1080 Ti. I was able to find a thread from a person who has been able to use i7-8700K and 1080 Ti on such PSU and I was able to find builds with B75M-A + i7-3700 + 1080 Ti although idk what PSU they use. Please let me know your thoughts - what could have gone wrong and what am I missing. Thanks!

I'm in the midst of a fairly ambitious build (for me). A 3950x system to split the difference between my hobbyist 3D rendering/simulation and casual, top tier gaming. It's largely going well, but as a first timer with all in one coolers (I've used air up until now) I'm trying to break into it in a big way. There are great options for CPU's, and certainly I'll be using a 360mm for the 3950x, but I also want to REALLY get in touch with my enthusiast side and not leave my 1080 ti out of the fun. A carryover from my OLD system, it's far from outdated, but a facelift with the G12 bracket for AIO cooling wouldn't go amiss... And while I delve deeper into the mouth of madness, a 360mm to MATCH as well. Overkill for a GPU? Absolutely... Don't talk me out of it, I'm too jazzed to back down! Of course, I've almost given up on the notion of using the SAME 360 model for cpu and gpu. A Kraken x72/73 would work, but everything I've heard about Cam software discourages me. Deepcool is great, but not an Asetek pump. Corsair h150i is a reliable option, but I don't THINK its square, gen6 pump will fit the bracket. I'm prepared to settle for the x72 on the bracket and one of the other options for the CPU (at least the bracket will match the cooler) though again Cam software is my boogeyman. I've heard some horror stories. For one thing, I'd ASSUME the x72 would run without the software for GPU, but also that the Kraken tends to default towards running the pump off FLUID TEMPERATURE readings and not the processor (or gpu in this case) without the cam software specifically allowing you to CHOOSE this option. Or maybe I'm wrong, and the pump plugged into the gpu fan header will take its marching orders from the gpu without question or proprietary software. I don't know, this is why I ask! Heck, is it better to have the pump running constantly off a case fan header and the FANS operate according to relative gpu temps, or SHOULD the pump only run as needed, lest its life span be reduced from constant use? Do any other 360 aio's fit the bracket (aside from ThermalTake)? Any information would be TREASURED, as I'm the sort of guy who REALLY likes to be sure he nails it in one go.

Hello! I created this thread because I'm very desperate. Issue description: When under load(FurMark, Minecraft with shaders, AIDA64) the GPU crashes to a solid color, the system does not restart, the display shows a color(orange, blue, brown) and that's it. I managed to recover it back a couple of times by sending an alt-f4 through and clicking on where the colse window button was in VNC without restaring the pc. Setting the power limit lower in afterburner would increase the time it takes to crash. Context: I've got the gpu second hand, (crashed first time under load) I first used with a budget Inter-Tech EPS 750W CM power supply that has it's 12V split into four 20A rails. Ive talked to a tech representative and he did not recommend this PSU for the gpu. That model has a cross-load design issue. At first I was thinking about some form of protection trigger becaus the power supply would use a single rail to power the gpu, so I set the power limit lower, and it still crashed. I got a Seasonic focus GX-750 power supply. It seems that the Focus Plus had an easy to trip OCP issue LINK but I did not find any abou the plain focus model. It does not dip to 0% befor crash. just a colored screen. I suspect the Inter-Tech might have hurt it. I have a MSI R9 270X that now it shows artefacts after an oc attempt. Before any OC,when playing Battlefield 4, the gpu crashed from time to time to desktop with a yellow triangle notification that said something about the graphics or display something.. I don;t remember, it was a while ago, SPECS: CPU: i5 3570K MOBO: MSI B75A-G43 GPU: ASUS STRIX 1080 Ti RAM: 2*4GB ZEPPELIN(1600 MHz) + 2*8 HYPERX (1600 MHz) STORAGE: KINGSTON A400 240 GB (OS) and 480 GB for other stuff Thank you!

Y EVGA 1080 TI only works in debugged mode I have a 850w PSU any ideas

not sure how to overclock the 1080 ti. haven't overclocked gpus before. please help

If this build seems overkill, then that's because it is. Parts- AMD Ryzen 1700X ASUS CROSSHAIR VI HERO Corsair Vengeance LPX 16gb 3000MHz Geforce GTX 1080 TI And those parts equal about $2100 after adding in the liquid cooler, storage, case, power supply, Windows 10, and the case fans. These are the main questions that I have for this build, and I hope they will be answered. Should I try and keep the price down by using a 1700 instead of a 1700X? Should I switch to an Intel processor instead of using RYZEN? Should I ditch getting the 1080 TI and wait until NVIDIA releases the 1180 graphics card? Any reasonable recommendations are appreciated.

As the title says, should i buy a reference 1080ti and asus prime x370 or a strix 1080 and rog crosshair hero x370? (If 1080 and crosshair phanteks enthoo evolv tg edition. If 1080ti nzxt s340 elite

So I got this nice 4k screen here that eats away my fps and I want to upgrade either 1080 or 1080 ti. I currently have a r9 390 club 3d royalqueen on stock speed and an i5 4670 (no k) so no overclocking. Also got 2x ssd 2x hdd and 4 sticks of 4gb ram It's a bronze certified OCZ ZS Series 550w psu. In my country the regular 1080 doesn't seem to drop in price so far, 20 euro's drop making it still 680 euro's for a reasonable aftermarket version and the ti 'should' be 830 euro's on release so if prices won't change I'll get that. But it says on the nvidia website they recommend a 600w power supply minimum, but that's just because they don't know if I have an extreme overclocked cpu or a thousand harddisks right? TL;DR if a r9 390 has no problems for my 550w psu, is a 1080 ti also going to be fine?

I am thinking of a graphics card, I just built a skylake system July last year and didn't install a GPU. I use a 4K monitor and want to game at 4K. Should I get the new GTX 1080 Ti or go for the normal 1080?

I am just curious about SLI 1080 ti power supply capability like what would be a good power supply to handle 1080 ti SLI and overclocked 6700k @ 5.0ghz. I am planning on getting an 860i or 1200i power supply by corsair but I am open to suggestions as I wont be getting this until my first 1080 ti arrives later this month or early next month. Thank you

Was this stupid?

Hey guys, I'm building a gaming/workstation PC, will it be right to pair 2 1080 ti's with ryzen 7 1700x and also would 850 watts power supply would be enough or should I get 1000 watts. Will all 4x8 GB dimms over clock to 2933 MHz.

Hi ! Later this month I want to upgrade my old GTX 680 for a GTX 1080 Ti (If I manage to grab one before they are out of stock ahah). But I don't know if my CPU will bottleneck my new card. I'm currently using : i7-4770K Stock 3.5GHz TurboBoost at 3.9 GHz,Corsair HX 750Watt PSU and a ROG Maximus Formula VII motherboard with 16 Go RAM. I'm also willing to buy a new 1440p monitor. I need your help before buying a decent 1440p monitor and the GTX 1080 Ti. P.S : Sorry for my bad english ^^

I currently run 2 980 Ti's in SLI on a Ultrawide GSync monitor where I currently get about 65 to 75 FPS on Witcher 3, Ultra everything (including Hairworks). I want to replace those cards with a single 1080 Ti and would like to know your opinion if it would keep up with the performance of 2 980 Ti's under those circumstances. Appreciate i!
