Gtx 1080ti problems

Sir0zero · September 8, 2021

Hello everyone! I've been having a problem with a GTX 1080ti I bought, its second hand. It worked well for about a year but now it seems struggling.

I've tried other GPUs in the system and they work.

I've tried different PSUs, different PCIe slots, different builds, can't seem to pinpoint it.

Originally, it had started to artifact so I replaced the thermal pads and replaced the rather dried up thermal paste. They all make contact where the previous pads were too.

So I put it back in the system and it artifacts but only under heavy loads, max temp is around 71c. Decided to crank the fan speed to 100, and it barely artifacts when benchmarking (using Superposition).

Where I'm at currently is, the PC preforms mostly OK during the benchmark, stays on about 5ish minutes and then I lose my display and the PC does not boot itself off. Any ideas on what I could do to fix it? Thanks

try undervolting. Sounds like the card is on its last legs though.

I tried going -250ish on memory and core but still seems to act up, even crashing as soon as windows boots. Also tried increasing/decreasing voltage. I'll see if there's anyone locally who could fix it but if not I think it's looking like a ded card. Thanks for the help though! @Skiiwee29
