What is this a sign of?

By


This has started to happen only recently. I have a GeForce gtx 1080. I hope it’s not what I think it is.

    Rest easy, 1080. Your tour of duty is complete. o7

    You should clean out your GPU.

    Check temps.

    If it isn’t happening 24/7, it might just be getting too hot.

    it means you’re about to be a few hundred bucks poorer

    Just some last checks before yeeting that GPU:

    – cable
    – dust and temps
    – reseat GPU.
    – Edit: clean driver install with DDU cleaner in safemode

    But I think your Vram is toast

    These are the mighty artifacts everyone is referring to when a GPUs memory-cip dies. While dying is the wrong term in a technical view it is indeed gonna stop working soon. The reason for this is very likely a ripped solderball due to thermal stress. If OP got some balls -pun intended- (and some quality flux off of Amazon) he might wanna try to reflow that sucker and squeeze some more month of gameplay out of that 1080.. (disassemble the whole card, remove all removable plastic parts, apply flux to the edges [between chip and PCB] of every ram-chip, as well as the GPU die itself and put the card into the oven for 5 mins @ 120°C, then increase to 180°C for another 5 mins, increase to reflow temp @ 220°C and let it reflow for at least 10 mins then slowly decrease the temp by 20°C every 3-5 minutes. For real tho, I used to bring back serval GPUs now by reflowing them in my oven)

    F, this is also happening to my 1080ti. I turned the clock down and that seemed to kind of fix it.

    Your computer was captured and taken to Vorkuta where it met Victor Reznov, escaped, and is now a sleeper agent tasked with killing the 35th president of the united states.

    Clean and repaste the GPU, try a different display, different PCI-slot different cable, different port. If nothing helps, the GPU is on its way out

    I just wanted to say that all of your comments brought a smile to my face in these dark times. I know my 1080 wouldn’t want to see me melancholy in its passing and to remember the good times. That time we beat Elden ring. That time in other games too that I can’t remember right now.

    1080 you were much more than a GPU and VRAM soldered together with other stuff. You were king in your time and I can’t wait to see you again one day soon and we can play half life 3.
