Have I broken my 3070?

[Polarisandneptune276]

I was putting a plug socket in and my hand slipped. The plug fell on the DP connection of my 3070.

 

My monitor that has fast response times is blurring and also my raytracing perforamnce has decreased by about 20%. I tested my rasterization performance on heaven and it runs the same.

 

What's going on. Does the DP port connect directly to processing units, is it broken?

Absolutely not, looking at your previous posts, you seem to be a bit of a hypochondriac. You have not damaged your system in any way. Any performance change you have witnessed is all in your head.

The "changes" you experienced were brought on by fear of breaking something.

Your brain took that hypothetical and made it real for you.

Because I experienced those things doesn't make a hypercondriac. I've been ludicrously unlucky with bad PC components and problems for many years

 

How can I know that display port damage wont affect the rest of the gpu it seems fairly reasonable to me.

The port is damaged?

Maybe, I dont know how Gpus work. Ive had so many problems with hardware that I don't know any more 

 

If the port was damaged who knows maybe it would affect signal and processing.

have you tried using a different port?

[Polarisandneptune276]

Yeah I tried another port but it did the same

Sounds to me like you need a mental health therapist.  SERIOUSLY.  Your behavior is just going to cause you repeated pain and stress in life unless you address your paranoia.  And LTT is not the place for advice on mental issues.  Please get help.  For your own good AND those who care about you.  /thread.

it's definitely broken. you should send to me so that i may properly dispose of it! 

 

being serious though, it's probably OK. give it a few weeks of usage to make determinations

@Polarisandneptune276 To answer your underlying question...

 

Displayport pretty much works or it doesn't. There's no degradation like analog connectors/cables can experience. If the Displayport connector was broken it would either not output a signal or there would be a noticeable issue with the display. Something along the lines of glitches or artifacts, strange colored lines, or portions of the screen showing something wildly incorrect. You don't appear to have any of this, so your DP connector is fine.

 

The Displayport connector is also not linked to the GPU's ability to render an image, so any performance drop (actual, perceived, or otherwise...) is unrelated.
