RTX 3080 Doesnt work :(

[Cosmic Origin]

Received my 3080 today. no video out from any source. On boot, one long beep then 3 short ( Indicates GPU issue) Updated my drivers to latest version last night. Chip set, and bios up to date. System requirements all up to spec as per Nvidia spec. Spent an hour with Nvidia text customer support. Re seated card, no signal. Put 1080ti back in, works like always. Card powers up (fans spin leds light up), but no video signal. I would appreciate any suggestions to fix this as I am an end user wanting to game and bechmark, not scalp to put my kids through college..

 

My Rig

X570 Aorus Elite mobo ( bios and chipset up to date )

Ryzen 3900xt

32gb Trident Z Neo 3600mhz CL16

PSU Corsair RM750 gold

 

Any suggestions are appreciated. 

Cosmic Origin, a little bummed.

Which specific card do you have, the FE? You're running two independent 8-pins to the card or the 12-pin adapter, not a daisy-chained single cable, right?

 

Sometimes you just get a bad card and have to RMA, sucks but it is what it is.

[Helpful Tech Witch]

I think the card might have been doa, but like @FaxedForward said, is it 2 separate 8 pins if it takes 2 or 3 separate if it’s a 3x8

Yep sure sucks, but thing happen. Just remember there are currently people not able to pay their mortgages, so you have it pretty good

Have you tried enabling CSM in BIOS?

Ahh good old not enabling CSM. My damn 550Ti wouldn't work without it enabled.

I did not enable csm in bios.  I will try that thanks guys. Its the Fe card straight from Nvidia

[GoodBytes]

CSM is for legacy hardware. It is in the name "COMPATIBILITY Support Module"

You should not have to turn it on, unless they really rushed and screwed up the vBIOS in some ways. But if that was the case, I suspect YouTubers would report it.

The real question is how n the hell did you manage to get a FE card?

He asks the real questions !

 

But relating to OP problem, try what other people suggested above me and if that doesnt work, get in touch with nvidia. It sucks but stuff like this does happen (DOA)

Yeah, I wouldn't think so too but I recently played with a Radeon VII and it needed CSM.  It's the only reason I mention it.
