And oddly enough the warranty expired in October 2018 even though the card wasn't released until may 2016 and the warranty is 3 years. It says it started in 2015 before the 1080 fe was even released. All in all stuck with a paperweight.
Just an update:
I flashed a newer bios, I could not flash the one suggested as it gave an error missing BB0 placeholders. I can flash the 2 newer bioses on the site, no change, but get errors when trying to flash the older ones. I am going to email gigabyte about an RMA to see if one is possible.
I have tried another monitor (using the DVI). It is the same power supply that I used for the R9 290 (8 plus 6 pin) and now only needs the 8 pin. I have reset the CMOS and reseated the Ram.
The only thing I have not tried is using the Display ports, because I do not have a DP monitor.
Thanks...
Yeah that was my thinking too, but not sure if its because of the amd video card in primary. I'm trying to work out a refund since he still is adamant it works so I don't want to flash unless that falls through.
Since we met halfway, testing wasn't possible. I took a chance, maybe got burned. I'm just trying to figure out if anyone else has experienced something like this before. At a glance the card looks mint, no burnt electrical smell, the fans all spin up. I'll know more when I open it up.
Does the computer usually boot into windows when a GPU is broken? I had assumed it would stop at post but have never dealt with a GPU that didn't display any output. Usually its driver issues or heat/power related corruptions.
Yeah, I will try, but since it was a cash meet up arrangement, I am at the seller's mercy. If they sold a bricked card, I doubt they are morally upstanding unfortunately.
Hey all,
I have been a long time lurker but now needed to reach out for your expert assistance. I recently purchased a used GTX 1080 that I was assured works, and so far am unable to get it to work. Here are the details and the behaviours.
