Artifacts on 980ti

[Ryu567]

So i bought a faulty 980ti for 50$ and it has artifacts,i was thinking a reball should i just go for it? And if it doesnt work just buy the gpu chip and replace it

 

Oh and it doesnt have amy artifacts in 800x600 or in the bios. And it crashes immediately when installing the gpu software

You could try flashing a fresh bios onto it and dropping it's power target to 50%

 

dunno if you can actually flash the bios on nvidia 900 series cards though.

Did dropping the power target/clock speeds fix it?

the gpu is only detected by nvflash and nothing else, device manager cant find it gpu-z and afterburner

No idea then, probably just a junk card

Try the "reflow" method by yourself if you can to save up some money. It will probably last for 3 to 6 months if  nobody did that before you on the same card. The reball method plus the chip ( you will need another chip for sure ) will cost you more than buying a better used deal from out there.
