Opinions on card issues

So the computer one of my kids uses started artifacting on windows screen. Now this only occurs when nvidia drivers are installed (cleaned them an noticed default drivers didnt do it). I am still confident this card is dying (780ti). 

 

I took the time to let the kid learn the value of money by making him pay for half of whichever card he picked. After some help he picked a 1060 6gb for about $225 from microcenter. Now this isn't relevant necessarily, but I decided to check out the new msi afterburner beta with OC scanner. It managed to get this 1060 6gb to a 2250 boost clock (I was shocked tbh) I tweaked it a little more and managed 500 memory too... now at stock it was doing about 2005 on heaven benchmark using extreme at 1080p. After the overclock this jumped up to 2371. I think the average fps increase was about 15fps.

 

Anyways back on point. I am going to tinker with the 780ti to see if I can resuscitate it. So my question is... should I spend the time tearing it down and baking it... or just trash the damn thing.

You could try baking it. Its a pretty aged card but if it has another year of life in it then I would go for it.

He's dead Jim.

 

The oven should be for cremation only. Solder is one thing, but this sounds like bum vram.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Eh, it's not worth the pain. Just throw it on eBay as a parts-only/non-working card and see how much you can get for it.

Not really in need of the cash... just curious for the most part lol. I am actually shocked how well the little 1060 is performing. I haven't purchased anything that wasn't a x80 or xx80 in a long time.
