Hello, I recently bought a used PG27AQDM. Once I set it to 240hz 1440p, the screen tears/"wiggle" from time to time on the desktop, and especially in games (starcraft 2). I tried setting it to 1080p/240hz and 1440p/120hz and I've had zero trouble, but in 1440p/240hz it "tears" and sometime the screen goes black for a couple seconds. I have an msi gtx 1080ti, 32go of ram, a i5 7500 and I use a 1.4 Display port cable. It is still under the 2 year warranty. Should I send it back or is it the GPU that is bottlenecking me ? I'm almost done with my next build using a rx 6850xt and a 13700k i7, so should it keep that monitor for the new build ? I thank you all very much in advance, Sash

Hello to anyone who reads this. I need help with a zotac 1080ti amp extreme 11gb. At heavy load like furmark nothing happens the gpu pulls and does its job. But if itry to run any game on it at higher Grafics it freezes the screene at 5 minutes of gameplay at any game and it will require a full restart for the pc to function again. i already tried: swiching psu, new windows, newest driver, new mobo, new ram, new cpu current setup: r5 3600, 64gb predator ram kit(2x32), b450 tomahawk max ii, aerocool cycloon 700w, Gtx 1080ti zotac amp extreme any ideas apriciated edit: the loaded up picture i have an encryption / decryption error

Build: All used parts, except for RAM Mobo - Asus B550-F Gaming CPU - Ryzen 5800X3D RAM - Kingston Fury Renegade DDR4 32gb CL16 3600mhz GPU - Zotac 1080ti AMP Extreme PSU - EVGA Supernova 850 P2 So, the issue is off and on with no really answer or fix that I can figure out. There is no overclock due to the issues I’m having although I did have the GPU overlocked when I first got it with no issues at first, until my first crash and then I removed all overclock settings. My computer will randomly crash while playing games with no rhyme or reason and in reboot will display a VGA issue on the mobo. Sometimes it’s back to back within minutes and other times it could be a few weeks in between crashes. Most of the time all I have to do is resintall the GPU and it goes away for a little bit and other times, it will reboot on its own just fine. Other times, I just leave it off for a little while and boot up and it’s fine. I don’t think it’s a temp issue as before while gaming I’ve had some monitoring software open and it showed that my GPU temps never exceeded 75C. I never had this issue before with my 1070 or 1080 on the AM4 platform or any GPU with my older Intel i7-7700K on the Asus Tuff Z270 Mark 2. I have 2 separate VGA 8pin cables going to the GPU. I haven’t tried just one as I don’t have a cable that breaks off. My mobo bios is fully up to date, everything is seated properly, all drivers and firmware with the GPU are up to date and good to go. It’s just so random that it’s been impossible to figure out why it’s happening. I’m really at a loss here and before I break and just by a new GPU I’m reaching out for help to see if anything can resolve this. My 1080ti is fine for my needs at 1080p. It’s also not possible for me to try the 1070 or 1080 anymore as I sold them because the 1080ti that I got worked perfectly for about 4 months until I upgraded from the 7700k to the 5800X3D. Even then it was good for about a month into the CPU upgrade and then it’s been off and on crashing. I just have no idea why I’m randomly crashing and it’s very frustrating how random it is. Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated.

First the specs: System: Windows 10 Home 64bit CPU: 8700K GPU: Aorus 1080ti MOBO: Asus Strix Z370-f Cooler: Corsair H100i RGB pro xt PSU: Corsair HX750 RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 4x8 32GB 3000mhz The system is 5 years old. Recently been sitting disconnected entirely for the last 4-5 month because the previous GPU (also a 1080ti but a different one) was shorting and causing problems. I got a 'new' secondhand GPU, I saw it working myself on the system the guy I bought it from was running, nothing seemed wrong with it. The GPU is the *only* component that was changed. And I am not overclocking. The issue: Got the new GPU, plugged it in. First day, everything was working fine. The next day, I got nvlddmkm.sys BSODs. I updated the drivers, then tried uninstalling and re-installing the drivers. Still the BSOD remained. Took the GPU out entirely, connected my displays to the MOBO's I/O and everything worked. The next day everything went nuts. Remember, the card is not in the system now. I get a "CPU Over Voltage Error" on startup. I get to the BIOS. I can't believe what I'm seeing: CPU Voltage: 4.064v Memory Voltage: 4.064v +12v rail: 24.288v +5v rail: 10.120v +3.3v rail: 2.608v Motherboard Temp: -57c This doesn't seem like a GPU driver issue to me. I saw a thread on Tom's Hardware that indicated that the nvlddmkm.sys error could be related to a bad PSU. What do you think is happening? Help!

Ok just to let you guys know i built this from scraps ive been able to get my hands on so sorry for the mediocre list of parts. lets start off with specs im using a dell optiplex with its standard motherboard, i installed a I7 4790S, 16gb of ddr3 1600mhz ram, i swapped the standard psu for a 600w thermaltake tr2 i am using a 24pin to 8 pin adapter till i can afford a new motherboard, and i installed a 1080ti replacing my 1050ti. It worked fine with my 1050ti but i get black screens when i play world of warships, battlefield 2042, new world, and baldurs gate 3 for about 5-10 minutes. I've gone back and deleted the 1050ti drivers and deleted and reinstalled 1080ti drivers, I've reseated the 1080ti, redownloaded windows and it still happens. Oddly enough FurMark doesnt crash it ive left it running for hours and its fine and only at like 73 degrees. Also PC stays running during this but the light on my gpu goes out and screens go black any help would be appreciated. I dont have this issue when i swap back to the 1050ti but i can barely play bg3 on it. EDIT: also it works fine with most everything else i can be on it for literally hours watching anime or playing older games no problem no hiccups.

Ok so im about to buy a used 1080ti because they're decently priced and about the best i can put in my current rig which is a Dell Optiplex 3020 with a I7 4790s i found on ebay and 16 gigs of ddr3 1600mhz and a nvidia 750 my brother gave me. However my PSU is undersized 290w vs the 600w i probably need for the 1080ti. My question is what PSU should i get my motherboard only has a 4pin cpu connector and a 8 pin board connector? i think any should do if i have a 4pin and 3 8pins but im not sure and finding one is a pain

(Sorry if this belongs in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling) I have an AORUS 1080 Ti (non Xtreme) with a EK-FC1080 GTX Ti Aorus - Nickel (rev. 2.0) Waterblock attached to it that I bought used back in '19. The issue is that one of the screws that hold the waterblock to the card is stripped. I can somewhat forcefully rotate the waterblock around that stripped screw to do maintenance, with no leaks after doing as such several times over the years. Another issue is that while I was given the original housing with the fans, the thermal pads that allow it to be reverted back to a non watercooled card on both sides are completely gone. (I don't think the thin pads meant for the waterblock would work but please tell me if otherwise.) Now with GPUs somewhat more obtainable, I don't think someone would really buy this 1080 TI, but I wanted to know what others think. Should I... 1.) Try to sell the card as is? (Custom loop but old hardware seems unlikely to me...) 2.) Find a way to remove the waterblock, install thermal pads and the original housing, then try to sell it? 3.) Try to sell it as a bundle with a fittings, tubing, reservoir and pump? 4.) Make a full loop build with it and try to sell it? Also, would sub $200 be fair for the card as is? (I put no value on the waterblock since it's not RGB and cannot be used on any other 1080 TI card than the Xtreme.) Any input is appreciated.

So any thoughts or help would be great. I recently upgraded my 1080ti to a 3090. I was using my 1080ti for mining when I wasn't gaming, so I want to keep the 1080ti and mine on it 24/7. I was wondering if I could buy an eGPU enclosure to house the 1080ti, to move it out of my system for temperature and power reasons. A used eGPU would be cheaper and more power efficient than a bare bones PC. I have an Asus Crosshair VIII formula motherboard and 3900x, the mobo has a USB-C port but no thunderbolt. Can you connect a thunderbolt eGPU to a USB-C port?

Someone help I feel like I tried everything and nothing seems to help it crashes or some sort of error happens in every game I play. I tried to underclock mess with the voltage (just a little, I’m up for trying it again) if you have any sort of suggestions please I’m willing to do anything... it sucks because it doesn’t have a warranty so I can’t return it. I think it might be defective but I don’t have the money to get a new one

Hello there, I've been thinking of adding a second low-performance GPU to my computer that would exclusively be dedicated to nvenc for streaming. My specs are as follow: - MSI x570 MPG GAMING PLUS - Ryzen 5 3600 - Zotac 1080ti mini - (PNY 1060 6GB (the GPU I wanted to add)) - 2*16+2x8GB of Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 @ 3000MHz (CL15) - Corsair CX650M PSU Now I know 650W sound a bit short but I double checked all max power consumptions and it should've been fine by over 60W, which should've been enough even for the power spikes, and anyway it's a Corsair PSU so there should've been protections against a higher consumption than its rated wattage. Description of the problem Upon adding the 1060, plugging everything on and turning the computer on, it never POSTs. The debug lights are stuck on "CPU". Removing the 1060 doesn't change anything, the computer won't boot again. What i've tried - Removing the 1060 → Obviously didn't work - Unplugging the computer, holding the power button and waiting a minute in case ESDs are still a thing → Nope, still no result - Resetting the CMOS by shorting the JBAT1 jumper on my mobo → Still nothing My work depends on that computer (and so does my gaming, but that's just my afternoons), and I would be really glad if any of you had another suggestion before I have to dismantle my computer and check every part individually, which i don't really have time for, and would be a real pain, due to how much time it took me to route everything as cleanly as possible. . Sincerely, Vlad.

Hello, I recently bought a Gainward 1080Ti "Golden Sample" second hand and a few hours ago I had a bluescreen and upon starting the PC again the GPU was stuck on 139mHz. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers and I have also tried reseating the GPU. I also tried disabling all services on startup. Has anyone experienced this problem and knows how to solve it? Thanks

So I bought a 1080ti aroas extreme back in the day and recently it has started to overheat. I decided to clean tha card so I opened it up changed the paste and removed the dust. There was quite a bit of dust on the radiator and the paste was grimy so I thought that's got to be it I fired back up my pc and started to play around. Initially I was playing immortals fenyx rising on 4k ultra ish setings with AA turned to low Where the 1080ti was siting comfortable at 62c at 99% usage which is what I'm used to. I also have to add that the card was running oced from day one. Tho I have now lowered the oc partly because overheating and partly of the card becoming unstable. The setings I'm running now is 0% v core due to massively overheating even when I change it a bit +60 on core wich gives me 2012 and +600 on mem for 6100 also runing the fans on 100%. The problem is that In some games like immortals fenyx rising the card is fine but in others like ghostrunner (max setings 4k) the card hits 72 and crashed obviously so I turn off the oc and the card ends up hitting 88-90c after 2 hours nearly used at 70% where as in immortals fenyx rising the card is maxed and never gets past 65c even after 5 hours. I've also experienced this with other games like frostpunk and valhime.

Hello good people, first time posting here at the LTT forum! After watching Linus’s latest video about bottlenecks, it’s got me debating if I should upgrade my CPU or GPU/mb first? Is my CPU a big bottleneck? After about a year of gaming CoD ws on a pc bought used, I’ve never gotten more than 80-90 fps on normal settings, and 40-60 on high. Is this normal or is there something wrong? PcGameBenchmark tells me I should go for CPU first, but I want to hear what you good people have to say too. Note: Im not an expert on Pc stuff by far, therefore please be patient with me! :) If I were to upgrade my CPU, the Ryzen 7 5800x and asus x570 gaming is an option. Intel is not off the charts either, but I want to try AMD. If I were to upgrade my GPU, either the rog strix 3070 or the 3080 would be my options (depending when they get available and what my wallet allows) Ps: I sometimes have a problem with my 1080, when I start up my pc my gpu wont boost past idle clock. Its stuck at 250-500hz, while memory is always running st 5500 Mhz no matter what. Any recommendations as to why this is and how to fix it? First time it happened was when i plugged in my 2nd display, although unplugging it doesnt fix it. Thanks!

hey some local to me said they sell me a EvGA 1080ti to for $630 cad. but i have no clue what they are worth, is it a good deal or no

Hello i ve been having some problems for some weeks now with my pc. specs: Asus rampage iv extreme mobo 16 GB ram g skill + 16 GB ram mushkin i7 4820k proccessor cooled with a corsair liquid cooler 1080ti strix oc GPU Seasonic x series PSU some SSD drives and a big HDD I run a 3 screen setup It started in apex legends i was playing and suddenly the pc will go black and the fans will go at max speed, i had to manually shut it down and turn it on again, i then again tried to play again and the same problem ocurred. i left at that for that day as it was late, at the next day i was able to play for some hours and then the same issue will happen. i reinstalled drivers, followed some guide at nvidia forums using DDU, installed some old drivers that didnt work, then reinstalled the most recent i started doing some fixes i found online, uninstalled latest windows update, uninstalled some software like cortex and NZXT Cam which controls my case lights. i ran some cmd commands like scannow and chkdsk to see errors which is weird you know, cause my pc seems to be fine, but whenever this crashes appears and i restart my pc sometimes it will corrupt the disks which make me repairs them using this commands, other times i found apex (which is the game i try to test) uninstalled, after trying to install again, steam detect files and make it pop installed again. after some basic fixes it seems i got an error that srttrail.txt wont be read so i needed to repair my pc so i also wanting to discard software issues did a windows clean install, i did a full clean install and after it was installed again i went ahead and paused all windows updates it worked well for a whole day then the problem came back then i proceed to change pcie cables, i have tried already like 12 combinations of cables which oddly enough one give me solution and let me play for about 2 days but after that it reached the worst, now whenever i run a game like apex the crash will occur 10 second after the game starts. i cleaned the gpu and changed thermal paste, i used grizzly kryonout. ===================================================================== The temps of the system are actually very stable gpu around 40 with the new thermal paste on iddle and around 65 when stressed (when i was able to play for some time at least) and CPU around 35 to 45c The last error it did was a loop when turn it on, i was playing, the black screens fan max issue appeared so it shut it down, when i turn on the pc it would go like on for 3 second then off, then on again, then off like an infinite loop, i needed to turn off psu directly to end it, after that i turned it on and all went good. ==================================================================== After some time a friend said he had a gpu to borrow so we can test if it was the gpu. he brought a 750TI :/ As it doesnt even need pins for it to run i thought wow i dont really think this can work as test, it worked good i was able to play apex in very low graphics and 45 frames but it worked, again i was a bit deceived about it cause i really couldnt test that much, but then (remember i said i run a triple monitor setup?) i went to check online if the gigabyte version supported triple monitor cause i saw my monitors laying down there black and cold so after veryfing it does have support i went and tried. Problem started: First i it wont give signal, not even the press f2 to go to bios, nothing... pure black so i was like, those bastards lied to me, so i disconnected the other monitors and after restart it went good but i remember they did said the gpu did support multi monitors so I wanted to try again, this time i logged in the OS first, opened nvidia panel and started plugging monitors, they started giving picture and appeared listed in the multiple screens tab from the nvidia panel, i went and plug all of them and exit, i had it again triple monitor setup but then after a minute or less you guess... black screen and probably fan rev i dont really know the gigabyte have one little fan so it started spinning i was not able to hear anything. turned off pc disconnected other monitors and here i am. I installed my 1080ti again and now it crashes as soon as the log in screen appears. now i have the feeling is my PSU, cause it gave problems with the 750ti too, at nvidia they lean towards the gpu, even my ram could be the problem, i did the mem test and tried each stick by stick, all made apex crash at same conditions, at this point i know something hardware is faulty i just want to try to exactly know which one cause i want to invest my money into the right direction and avoid waisting into something that at the end wont fix my pc so if you could please help me i will be grateful with you for the rest of my life In case it seems PSU recommend any Brand for a 1080ti strix oc?

This is an old EVGA reference edition 1080 ti i purchased from a friend around 2018ish, he had installed the EVGA hybrid cooler on it and also gave me the original shroud. Fast forward now, (my Hybrid cooler died) my system was hard reseting with no system errors besides saying an unexpected shutdown occurred in any graphic intense programs. Pulled GPU and put it in my roomates PC, angry water pump failure noises. So i replaced the original shroud back with XTM50 thermal paste on the die and it worked fine. Fast forward about a week or two and i purchase Topaz an AI upconversion program for video and have been running that for about a week. The other day i have the same symptom, hard resets on the system with no errors aside from the sudden shutdown and this happens now with any graphics intense programs. Occom's Razor says its most likely a heat issue again but i had my roommate test it while i was at work (OT on Q4 is crazy no time for myself rn) and he says no out of the ordinary temps during run, but idk what to do at this point. I had him run the Topaz program and it happened for him about 40 minutes into a video conversion, and happened in Halo Infinite 2 minutes into a round and then instantly when attempting to launch the training room. I might just have to buy a replacement in this stupid economy of cards. Any idea on what i can do here? 1080 ti is not at the point where it needs to be replaced for performance, and i really dont want to pay 2x MSRP at MicroCenter for a 3900xt or 3800xt (i go big so they last longer, buy cheap buy twice). I hope i gave enough info here, I have had a card fail before, it was an XFX R9 290 with an NZXT water cooler on it, im 100% positive it damaged my vram from lack of proper cooling. It had similar issues but instead of hard resetting it froze the image or black screened with audio still running. After a year of testing that one I was able to get XFX to RMA it and i have never touched NZXT products beyond a fan or case. Not really important, just mentioning this sense its a similar issue and im aware i could have damaged my card during the swap of cooling systems or perhaps it was damaged when its hybrid cooler died and was still in use. I just dont know if i missing something, and i feel deja vu rn with this card.

Hello, I have a EVGA Nvidia 1080 ti Hybrid Ryzen 1600x Mobo Aorus b450 Backstory my issue is my PC last night was working just fine, shut down normally. this morning i go ahead and turn on the PC no image, but everything turn on. i go online and read and i decided to Go ahead and clean de CMOS on the motherboard. Actual issue. PC comes on normally boots, but after less than a minute my screen just turns in to a solid color and nothing happens after that. i restart go on to safe mode and the error does not happen. go back to normal and i keep getting same error of a solid color screen. i installed ddu, lunch in to safe mode clean the drivers, PC boots fine, when i went ahead and installed the drivers same issue again, tried with older drivers as well lasted a couple of minutes more but again went back to getting a solid color. Things i have tried and checked: -I checked temps and they are just fine, around 30c on the memory and on the chip around 29c. -checked with a different HDMI cable same issue. -tried a different screen still having the problem. Can anyone tell me why would this happen out of nowhere? I'm just not able to buy a new graphics card at the moment and more with the exorbitant prices of them at the moment, and not looking forward to getting a new one.

Hello, Short story: I have a Phanteks p360a, 1080ti with arctic xtreme IV (3 slot down 1 slot up), ASUS PRIME X570-P. The gpu dos not fit the top pci slot and the motherboard manufacturer forgot to disclose on their page that their bottom PCI 4.0 16x slot is wired only as 4x. So my gpu runs at pci 3.0 4x, hence a bottleneck. The stock 1080ti cooler was an msi armor (only fit for a 1070 standard in a freezer and one of the fan died on top of it) so I would like to keep the xtreme IV. My solution would be a vertical bracket. Does anybody know any vertical bracket that could fit this weird sized gpu? (1 slot back 3 slot front) Thanks for the help in advance.

I took apart my Zotac 1080ti because one of the fans died. And as I'm taking it apart it seems that the PCB and the thermal pads are damp. The GPU is mounted vertically in my PC case.

system specs: CPU: Ryzen 7 5800x RAM: Trident z neo 16gb ddr4 3600mhz GPU: 1080 ti founders edition PSU: corsair rm850x Motherboard: Asus ROG strix b450-f I am having trouble updating the drivers of my 1080 ti. every time I attempt to update to the latest version my pc slows to a crawl (I got about a frame every few seconds on my desktop just moving my mouse around and no matter how long I wait it does not fix itself) and have to revert the changes in windows safe mode to roll back the driver version to 456.71 and it will work completely fine again. This happens regardless of if I do a clean install or even use DDU to uninstall drivers first. I have even completely wiped everything on my pc and freshly installed windows. If I swap in my old 1050 ti the driver update will work perfectly fine, but when swapping the 1080 ti back as soon as the drivers kick in it will slow back to a crawl. This happens with all drivers past 456.71 now. I'm afraid my GPU may be dying in some way, but I'm out of ideas on what to try to get any new versions of drivers. I have been ignoring this problem for the most part for the last year or so until today when I now get visual artifacts in Elden ring and I assume its because I'm on stuck such an old driver version. What else can I do? swapping the 1080 ti into a completely different computer yields these same results.

I just got a used 1080ti and according to the last owner it used to run but something stopped working. I have a 1080 that runs fine in my pc, I have a x99s gaming7 MB and a i7 cpu I was plugging the 1080ti into a known working pcie slot and getting nothing at all. No display and when looking at bios with my 1080 it was not even showing the 1080ti plugged into the pcie slot. I have tried other slots and still noting even running it alone in the pc. I have 750W power supply so power is not a problem. I have taken it apart and found no sighs of damage or corrosion, i cleaned it with alcohol and still nothing I'm starting to run out of ideas and would love a little help if anyone has any other last ideas before i try throwing it in a oven!

No longer functioning so I replaced it. The GPU is built with a NZXT bracket that allows an AIO to be mounted to the gpu. With an additional fan blowing on the VRMS. What I have done: Fresh install of windows. I wiped my boot drive and installed windows fresh (left my game drive in tact(only stores downloaded games)). I updated graphic drivers and the optional AMD drivers when updating windows. I have run a stress test on the CPU and it's fine? (At this point I've only done a 10 minute test. CPU is on AIO so Temps stay below 67C (HWinfo never indicates thermal throttling when using CPU for gaming, benchmarking, stressing, or rendering)).

I have a Zotac GTX 1080 Ti AMP Extreme edition. It crashes in every game even when cool and even when low usage. I bought it used a while ago and it always had this issue however it wasn't as bad and I only had to underclock a tiny bit, and I got it for a good price so didn't see the point in returning it. However ever since then it has been gradually getting worse, I now have to do a -300 core and memory underclock. Both game crashes and whole PC crashes take place, and I also get artifacts before crashing Reinstalled Windows and Drivers. Changed PSU. Reapplied thermal paste. Problem persists. I know that graphics card do degrade overtime like most PC components, but I would really appreciate if anyone had any ideas on how to fix this. I was considering baking the GPU but have only been told to do this as a very last resort.
