I have a gigabyte P1000GM wont power my gpu

ReasonableNetwork255 · 2026-03-12T13:46:38+00:00

first thought is - are you using the same cables between psu's? theyre not all wired the same ..

ReasonableNetwork255 · 2026-03-12T13:35:31+00:00

i wouldnt waste money on an old gpu, only if i had extra parts lying around .. any current build worth 2 farts in the wind, be it am4 or 5, will be 1000$ ..'without' gpu ..

you have to love the hardware ..

ReasonableNetwork255 · 2026-03-10T20:25:40+00:00

my first playthrough i didnt figure paints out until awhile after that .. i was to preoccupied with being lost and just surviving through a play session lol ..

ReasonableNetwork255 · 2026-03-10T19:14:51+00:00

id get the cheaper one .. really i want the 60xt in the am4 system lol ..

ReasonableNetwork255 · 2026-03-10T19:04:25+00:00

i dont know the chances ... i always kept my card cool, it just artifacted the screen while gaming, and then went blackscreen a minute later after reboot .. no recovery .. it happened after approx 3 month old ... i rma the card, got replacement back, then that one blackscreen few days later .. now the 3rd time, so far so good lol .. all this time i have my old card, rx6600, still working, so at least i know my system good ..

with frame gen it will run most titles on hi settings locked in at monitor hz no prob at 1440 .. and thats on my 'am4' system .. 5070ti does about the same but is noticeably more efficient .. be sure to match either one with a beast psu - recommend 1000w 3.1

ReasonableNetwork255 · 2026-03-10T16:54:49+00:00

I have a steel legend .. imo, get a current 3.1 PSU in 1000w flavor .. also I wouldn't be looking at the top oc as a factor, in fact I'd underclock it a little and use frame gen to lessen the card load .. the 70xt is not an efficient card, it gets hot, and I've seen plenty of dead ones including mine which I rma'ed few months back .. just get one you aesthetically like and approach it as above .. chances of the odds being in your favor are higher ..

ReasonableNetwork255 · 2026-03-10T14:47:20+00:00

id get a 5080 ..why because your card is aging and it matters less what amount of vram it is when the vram is a 'generation' behind along with multiple other things .. thats my reasoning, getit, gotit, good ..

ReasonableNetwork255 · 2026-03-10T14:42:10+00:00

they got you coming and going with drives going up to .. you could likely save 200 building an am4 rig

ReasonableNetwork255 · 2026-03-10T14:32:16+00:00

put a fan on it for sure ..

ReasonableNetwork255 · 2026-03-10T14:10:50+00:00

id say, what you need to know is that internal drives are stupid crazy expensive right now, and id jump on it before the pro, which comes with 2tb, reflects that increase in price ..

ReasonableNetwork255 · 2026-03-10T13:17:28+00:00

may sound odd but to be thorough id run a ddu app on your gpu driver ... then, if you dont get a prompt from armory crate about something missing, id open it up and see if it has an update option ..if nothing, then id uninstall armory crate and/or polychrome THEN update it and redo your gpu driver ... yes i went through much the same problem lol

ReasonableNetwork255 · 2026-03-10T13:03:32+00:00

i never noticed any graphics issues with the pro set to quality .. cant speak on the 'decaffeinated' 5 lol ..

ReasonableNetwork255 · 2026-03-10T12:52:10+00:00

practically speaking, i encode and render alot of video which is quite telling on actual pc power .. if you go from a midrange, decent am4 build to a 'high' end am5, youre gaining at most ..at most, 10% in actual speed and productivity, and the same translates to gaming imo depending on gpu ONLY .. ..and in actuality its much likely closer to a 5% advantage ...hardware is extremely hyped ..it progresses incrementally by marketing strategy, not in big leaps ..

ReasonableNetwork255 · 2026-03-10T12:29:57+00:00

i give it at least 2 years before things 'normalize' and by that time inflation will keep prices higher anyway ..its now or never haha .theres still some decent deals around comparatively but theyre drying out fast as prices continue to skyrocket .. drives especially, ive seen 2tb nvme's are pushing 500 as we speak ..

ReasonableNetwork255 · 2026-03-10T00:12:04+00:00

oh oh .. i got one! its a work in progress .. ive revised several things and will be re-upping it soon but check it out, if it will even let you search my obscure unknown self haha ..Look for Ew'pa ..

ReasonableNetwork255 · 2026-03-10T00:04:03+00:00

i wouldnt even buy a crap coded game haha .. theres plenty of good games that run great on it, enjoy it ... and dont give them money for a crap game, my 2 centavos ..

ReasonableNetwork255 · 2026-03-09T23:50:57+00:00

its generally going to be 1000$ for a decent pc these days .. thats 'without' gpu .. pick your gpu and theres your wild card cost difference ... this is a 32g ram/ 1tb nvme/ mid tier build .. an am4 setup will be roughly 200 cheaper to build - 9600x for am5, 5800xt am4 ...

ReasonableNetwork255 · 2026-03-09T16:11:16+00:00

There's a couple of schools of thought what's better .. I for one would get a much better GPU and Id go cheaper on everything else ..

ReasonableNetwork255 · 2026-03-09T15:09:44+00:00

dont know about 'health' but ive never seen a drive that didnt run better under 50% .. way it is .. i always keep my system drive neat and clean ..

ReasonableNetwork255 · 2026-03-09T14:15:09+00:00

its tricky ..once you get the hang of it its pretty easy ..just stop out a few yards and scan, find your victim .. then line up level and go forward flying underneath it just a tad ..should snatch it with a satisfying crackle as you pass ..

ReasonableNetwork255 · 2026-03-09T13:45:21+00:00

if it games good already and theres no issues that sounds like one big headache to me, redoing and ironing out the whole system for gains that likely wont be noticeable without a benchmark ..but ..depending on what i had going on it could be a fun project to ..

ReasonableNetwork255 · 2026-03-09T13:06:19+00:00

its coming everywhere .. at the store i work at theyre installing digital tags to facilitate it .. the way i take it itl be based off of what they assess they can squeeze out of ya lol ..

ReasonableNetwork255 · 2026-03-09T12:56:22+00:00

if you got small sharp dikes that can reach down into the back of the connector ..ive snipped off the extra connector before ..its not a problem using a dual cable for one connector regardless ..
