    Best Way to Quickly Test a Used GPU Before Buying?

    I guess I'm covered then? Is $625 CAD decent for a 2 month old Asus DCII 780ti?

    Best Way to Quickly Test a Used GPU Before Buying?

    Hi All, Just as the title states, I will be buying a used 780ti and want to know the best way to test it before I hand the cash over. Usually I make sure gpu-z detects the card properly and that the 3d mark scores are average for the card. Any other thoughts/suggestions? What does one need to...

    I Bought a used Asus DC2 OC GTX 770 - has the vbios been tampered with?

    I'm in Canada, we tend to pay a bit more here (as well as the 13% sales tax). The DC2 OC was ~$390 at the time. I got box and receipt and it was unregistered with Asus. On Kijiji/Craigslist here people tend to ask $300 to $350. Maybe I can find another here on the forums.

    I Bought a used Asus DC2 OC GTX 770 - has the vbios been tampered with?

    I always OC my CPU, but I find the performance gains negligible with GPU overclocking. I pushed the boost to 1250 just now and only got a 5 fps increase in Heaven benchmark. I will leave it as-is for now, and hopefully get another cheap 770 for SLI. Is $300 reasonable for this card, or should I...

    I Bought a used Asus DC2 OC GTX 770 - has the vbios been tampered with?

    Yep, did a cold boot now and all seems well. Thank you very much, Tamlin_WSGF! I knew something was up with the clocks. Still, $300 is not too shabby.

    I Bought a used Asus DC2 OC GTX 770 - has the vbios been tampered with?

    Yea, after I flashed, the default values changed in GPU-Z instantly, but current values stayed high. I did a reboot and all seems well. I notice that 1150 seems to be the preferred boost speed for the card, it seems the former owner just set it to 1150 by bios mod. Did not do a cold start...

    I Bought a used Asus DC2 OC GTX 770 - has the vbios been tampered with?

    **Issue resolved** I flashed the AS07 firmware as the AS08 warned about hardware mismatch. GPU-Z now reports 1059 stock and 1111 boost. Thanks for your help, all!

    I Bought a used Asus DC2 OC GTX 770 - has the vbios been tampered with?

    You guys are quick! Already extracted, I'm not THAT basic :P The asus bios is an all in one for both dcii oc 770 and dcii 770 I suspect one rom for the OC version and the other for non.

    I Bought a used Asus DC2 OC GTX 770 - has the vbios been tampered with?

    I have a secondary machine if it comes to it - final question (I hope) the BIOS from Asus's site (after I extract the .exe) contains "80.04.C3.00.AS07.rom" and "80.04.C3.00.AS08.rom" which of the two should I flash? It also contains nvflash.exe. I assume I can use this flash utility from...

    I Bought a used Asus DC2 OC GTX 770 - has the vbios been tampered with?

    Thanks for quick responses everyone! As mentioned previously, the .exe from Asus' website doesn't seem to work for me, see below: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7lXsOK8Lu8hX3d1TU9xQ0lwaG8/edit?usp=sharing I am hesitant to run this from command line with flags.

    I Bought a used Asus DC2 OC GTX 770 - has the vbios been tampered with?

    Yea, default clock is same as boost clock - wth? I would like to return this card to stock, though am now a little worried as I do not know what previous owner did to the card. Any advice on what/how to flash?

    I Bought a used Asus DC2 OC GTX 770 - has the vbios been tampered with?

    Hi All, I joined the forum after being a lurker for a while, hoping someone could shed some light on this: I bought a used Asus DCII OC GTX 770 in April for $300 CAD, seller provided box and receipt, it was unregistered so I do so on Asus' website. I have been using it happily for ~1month...
