I'm thinking my 1070 just died. It lights up when I power up, but the fans don't spin and my monitor just goes right to power save mode (nothing shows on screen). Rest of my parts are less than a year old. Anything I should try before buying a new card?

Make sure you have sufficient power between your computer and the power outlet. Could be an extension that's bottlenecking your power. If you haven't already, try connecting the computer directly to a power outlet and see if anything changes.

No dice unfortunately. Any opinions on evga b stock cards? Is it a huge risk? Saw a 2070 on there for 389.

If your CPU has an igpu just try plugging your monitor into the motherboard to see if it's a GPU problem or something else.

My mobo doesn't have that unfortunately...

Also be sure to try a different cable if possible. You never know...

DisplayPort cables go sideways if an errant electron within a mile gets pushed to an excited state whilst pointing at your DP cable. It's probably the cheapest point of failure to test so might as well? Also try different output ports on the back of the video card.

I don't have a displayport cable, or at least I can't find it. I've been using a dvi. I switched to a different cable, switched out the 8 pin and connected it to a different spot on my psu, tried using my friend's 980 and still no luck. Also tried connecting to a different monitor. Heres whats basically happening

The dram light is on, but even if my ram was bad I should still see bios right? I put in each stick individually and still nothing

Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong thread btw

Not always. Bad RAM can keep a system from even getting to the BIOS sometimes. That the card's fans are twitching a few times but never spinning up makes me think it's caught in a pre-BIOS boot loop.

I would take everything out except your CPU (including all the RAM), reset the CMOS, and turn it on--you won't get to BIOS, but you should get some angry beeping, assuming you have an internal speaker connected or built in to the motherboard. Then add back one stick of RAM and try both your and your friend's video card. Change the single stick of RAM if that doesn't work. You should hopefully get to the BIOS from there, and then add back in components one by one.

:(

Still nothing. Reset cmos both by picking up the battery and the 2 pins with screwdriver. Dram light was the only thing to light up still with only the cpu in. Board doesn't have speakers. Tried single ram sticks in various slots with both my card and my friend's. Does that mean its a problem with the mobo or both sticks?

You need to do some real base-level troubleshooting. Disconnect everything from the motherboard and PSU except the CPU and one stick of ram, find a speaker to hook up to it, and see if it posts. If you can't do that, stick the ram in your friend's system - bad ram is not going to hurt a motherboard or anything.

Aight, I'll try to find a way to test the ram. I'm gonna stop for today though so I don't tear my hair out. Thanks to everyone for all the help.

Heh, Nvidia posted a What Happened article about the launch https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/rtx-3080-qa/

Not too interesting, other than that they're supposedly implementing more security measures after what happened

Did Amazon ever adjust the price of those ludicrously marked-up Zotac Trinity cards that mistakenly went up early? I still have a 3090 in my orders for $2400 drat dollars. As much as I want a new card, I'm not paying that kind of premium for one. I could probably find the same card from some scumbag scalper for less.

Using that Amazon add to cart link right now has a PNY show up that a scalper store named Raccoon Capitalist is selling for 5000 dollars lol. They have 3 of them in stock for that price

Upgrading a GPU direct from the previous gen is always a questionable decision, no matter what the marketing says. It's never quite enough of a performance jump to justify the price of admission. Upgrading every other gen just makes so much more sense.

What about upgrading my f5 keycap, does that make sense

Looks like they cached GETs through their new proxy (as they should have all along!) but they cached cookied GETs as well, leaking PII.

Yikes. This is what happens when you rush to prod.
