I received a lovely New Years gift today as my workhorse Palit GTX 1080 kicked the bucket. Does anybody have any ideas on what I could try to resurrect it or am I shit out of luck? With the GPU market the way that it is I'm in a bit of despair right now.
I took the card apart, checked it out, cleaned it and gave it new thermal paste, but I couldn't find any obvious reason why it's died. It was working fine, I was playing some games and when I came back, I had no video output and the fans on the card were running at 100%. I've owned the card for years (bought on carb) and it's always been whisper quiet never going above 65C. When I start my system, it posts correctly (one short beep) but I then get 1 long beep and thee short beeps which according to my mobo manual indicates a GPU error, which makes sense. The card sounds like a jet engine with the fans running at 100% which it would never do at startup.
My motherboard doesn't have any onboard graphics output so I'm using an ancient AMD RX550 to run my system in the mean time. I don't think there's any other issues with the system as everything else seems to be working correctly. My other specs are AMD Ryzen 1700X 3.9Ghz, Asus Crosshair VI Hero Extreme, 16GB 3200Mhz RAM, Corsair RM850X PSU, Noctua NHU14S, Fractal Define R4.
Here's a video and some pics of the nekkid card.
Alternatively, what is a broken 1080 even worth?
