Nvidia GTX 770 severe artifacting

[Cosmos_i7]

Dear all,

I'm having some serious issues with my GTX 770. I am no longer able to use my PC as it will not display images properly with banding across the screen and sometimes refusing to show an image at all. I have attached a few pictures.

Specs are as follows:

Intel Core i7 3930k

MSI Nvidia GTX 770 2GB lightning (stock clocks)

Asus Sabertooth X79

XFX 650w PSU

Please let me know if you need anymore information. I would like to know if anything can be done about it or if it a complete dead card. It is out of warranty so RMA is not an option.

Thanks in advance

It's dead. Your last resort is baking it but I'd suggest against it.

Best option is to buy a replacement then? Any ideas on what could have caused this?

Did you do any crazy overclocking?

The VRAM is dead and that's the cause of the artifacting you are seeing. Some people have succeeded with baking GPUs but still I haven't tried it so I can't really suggest it. There's no other way to fix it I'm afraid.

Its never been over clocked just stock

OK thank you for your help, I just wanted to know before I go out and buy a new one. So I guess that's what I'll have to do.

Pretty much certain to be dead. You specified it's at stock clock speed, and it's at startup so it really can't be overheating. It's even happening at the UEFI, so we can't even implicate the drivers.

 

That rules out the easy stuff, I'm afraid. Sorry to hear that it's out of warranty. They probably won't cover it, but you could still ask their customer support about it, it costs nothing to ask. Maybe they'd think of something we haven't, at least.
