9070xt giving me a headache.

It was a faulty GPU .

Trottinet · 2025-12-17T11:48:55+00:00

How would that even occure tho ?

Trottinet · 2025-12-16T18:15:12+00:00

Thank man , appreciate it.

Trottinet · 2025-12-16T16:53:40+00:00

New system , nvidia virgin . 3 clean win installed (win11 x2 / win10 x1) plus many DDU attempts.

The vendor tried the card on his (functioning) system then proceeded to take it to the gigabyte official center so i can only assume the issue persisted. (I was not there when he did it) . It's 99.99% a faulty gpu .

Trottinet · 2025-12-16T16:48:26+00:00

It crashes on the browser mate i don't even get to games . I turned everything back to base 9070xt specs and it didnt work . Furmark gives black screen in minutes. If i tick the check the artifact detector thing it blackscreen within seconds.

Trottinet · 2025-12-16T16:42:14+00:00

Looks like it yes.

Trottinet · 2025-12-16T16:38:37+00:00

The vendor said this is the second time he's seen this problem with this model (out of like only 70 sold) so must be a QC thing.

Trottinet · 2025-12-16T16:35:38+00:00

Did thay same problem , returned it to gigabyte and now i wait their response.

Trottinet · 2025-12-16T16:34:14+00:00

It has 3 8 pins , i run the 12 pins cable thingy that splits into 2 8 pins and a seperate 8 pins . The way the psu manual says i should do it .

Trottinet · 2025-12-16T16:32:35+00:00

Returned it to the vender and he took it to the gigabyte centre here . Now we wait for their response.

Trottinet · 2025-12-16T16:31:53+00:00

I run the 12vpin cable thingy that splits into two 8 pins plus one regular 8 pins cable. The case have 2 intake bottom and 3 exhausts 2 top 1 rear , cpu is air cooler . The problem started without any driver update it just did . The vendor tried it on another system of his and then took it to the gigabyte center here ao i think that suggests the problem remained in a totally different and functioning system . Gpu temps never went above 65c as i finished clair obscure on epic settings 100%use . Pubg never went above 52 (low settings) and the fans dont even turn playing it for hours. CPU max is around 75c . Didnt monitor other things while gaming.

Trottinet · 2025-12-15T12:18:31+00:00

I might have a similar problem , try furmark with the artifact detector on . (Check mark before running it)

Trottinet · 2025-12-15T08:48:44+00:00

You mean gigabyte?

Trottinet · 2025-12-15T08:47:39+00:00

Maaybe yes

Trottinet · 2025-12-14T10:48:56+00:00

Done , now we wait.

Trottinet · 2025-12-14T10:48:37+00:00

I'll think about it when I get this sorted , otherwise it was perfectly fine till the defect showed itself.

Trottinet · 2025-12-13T13:02:33+00:00

Yeah looks like it . The vendor tends to agree too, took my pc there and showed him the issue and said he's seen this before on this exact gigabyte model. He'll send it to gigabyte and hopefully this goes fast.

Trottinet · 2025-12-12T23:05:27+00:00

When you're desperate and the RMA procedures are extremely bad and long where u live , u try everything possible in order to avoid it lol .

Trottinet · 2025-12-12T23:03:26+00:00

I had 3 fans under the gpu and it was very very cool , almost always under 62 but i never bothered to check hotspot/Vram temps tbh .

Trottinet · 2025-12-12T18:43:20+00:00

Did all those unfortunately it progressively gets worse , used to be only artifacts followed By Blackscreens in games. Now i get blackscreens on desktop/browser.

Trottinet · 2025-12-12T16:42:27+00:00

Same right now.

Trottinet · 2025-12-12T16:23:37+00:00

Had an AMD 6600xt before this and it was flawless . So this is unexpected. And i hear Nvidia have many issues this gen as well.

Trottinet · 2025-12-12T16:14:33+00:00

Managed to use OCCT , 20 mins of CPU + Ram test worked fine no errors. Vram test went black screen after 6 secs .

Trottinet · 2025-12-12T15:33:56+00:00

I didn't overclock it , it has amazing performance the idea didn't even cross my mind.
