    RTX 3070 still artifacting after RMA

    Yes I tried other ports on my motherboard and changed the HDMI cable. The problem really comes from the GPU.

    RTX 3070 still artifacting after RMA

    The support didn't want it back without me finding a test to reproduce the problem. I am not a computer specialist, I don't know how to do that. So I was quite desperate. I spent a couple more days searching possible fix. That's when I found a reddit post saying to disable image scaling and MFAA...

    RTX 3070 still artifacting after RMA

    I've not overclocked any components. It's my first time playing with Afterburner. However, I really think the GPU is broken. So, I'll try it on a friend's computer and then contact the support to get a replacement. Thanks to everyone for your kindness and help. It's the first time I post on a...

    RTX 3070 still artifacting after RMA

    I read on a reddit post with similar problems that the Nvidia Support advised them to change the 'Power management mode' to 'Prefer maximum performance' and 'Vertical Sync' to 'Adaptive' in the 3D settings. I did exactly that and I didn't have any artifacts or black screen for the last two...

    RTX 3070 still artifacting after RMA

    Clearly. Underclocking -200 MHz is a lot. It shouldn't even be called a RTX 3070 at this point. However, when I went at it incrementally, this value seemed to let me use my pc without problems. As for the the gpu clock that goes beyond the value I put in Afterburner. After some tests, it seems...

    RTX 3070 still artifacting after RMA

    Something strange happened just now. I put the gpu clock and the memory to -200. When idle, I had no more artifacts or black screen. The GPU still had random spikes but it only went to 1690 MHz. I then tried to test it in a game that isn't too GPU-intensive : Sims 4. I had artifacts then a...

    RTX 3070 still artifacting after RMA

    The GPU has 2 HDMI slots, tried both ports with 2 different cables (one of them was new). Still artifacting I underclocked it to -200 core clock and -500 memory. Unfortunately, I got a black screen again. That's why I changed the PSU. I had an old 650W PSU. It was supposed to be enough for my...

    RTX 3070 still artifacting after RMA

    Ok I'll try my gpu on another pc. The more things I try, the more I'm inclined to think that.

    RTX 3070 still artifacting after RMA

    I'll have to wait 2 weeks for that unfortunately as my only friend with a pc and not a mac is in spain right now. Repeat every 15s: DISPLAY black screen WAIT 5s DISPLAY desktop It only stops when I shutdown the pc and wait 20 minutes. If I don't wait, I'll get black screens even before login...

    RTX 3070 still artifacting after RMA

    Hi, At the end of september I sent my Gigabyte Geforce RTX 3070 for repair because I had horrible artifacts rendering useless my computer. I knew it was a faulty gpu because I tried it on a friend's computer. I got it back two days ago. However, I still have random artifacts freezing the...
