gtx 970

Hey all! I currently have a GTX 970 installed with its respective drivers. I picked up a 1080 from a friend who said it might have some cooling issues. To cut a long story short I was just wondering if I can use the 970 drivers as I will be swapping cards back and forth while I do tests. I...

My PC has sat for 2 years and I finally have the space to set it up. When I first tried to turn it on it didn't work, I ended up finding out that the RAM in the 4th slot was the issue. I got it to boot up after that and got all of my drivers up to date so I started to play some Smite. In the...

Hey hey, I'm having a very frustrating problem as stated above. As far as I can tell, only specific games cause my screen to go black, there is no sound or input but it's still turned on so I have to hard reset my computer. It only happens once I've started a game and played for a minute or two...

Hello all, I've have a problem that is resulting in what I believe to be a video driver crash. This is a recurring issue that has persisted over many months and through many common fixes. The Symptoms: Audio glitch, Audio output holds a note or tone for maybe a tenth of a second when the problem...

Hello all, first thread here so hopefully I'm doing this correctly. This issue started two months ago. Occasionally (3-5 times a week), I get full video crashes on my Windows 10 PC while gaming but the video returns about 20-30 seconds later. It's when I'm in the middle of the game, not when...

So recently I bought an used MSI GTX 970 from eBay, when it arrived I put it into the system, plugged everything necessary and powered on the computer, fans started spinning and MSI logo turned on, but i got no display at all.

We all know GPU prices are ridiculous. I already have an old 970 on my rig and recently upgraded CPU's. I am wanting to upgrade my GPU but the prices are the only thing holding me back. It would honestly be cheaper for me to buy another 970 and SLI bridge to run dual GPUs than it would be to...

Starting off, I've posted about this before but new problems have arisen. the card was purchased as broken ( https://www.ebay.com/itm/373724033649?ViewItem=&item=373724033649&nma=true&si=2U3AvStmceGGbbEwqwoDTTv%2Bce8%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 ), but I believed...

I know you guys here are miles ahead of me in this stuff, so I know coming here and asking is probably well worth it given the feedback/expertise of users here! So I'll make it short: trying to upgrade a very out-of-date, mid or lower range, pre-built Acer/Aspire/i3/etc. type low-grade PC...

I verified that the temperature of my 7 years old GPU at rest (using only chrome) is always 58°/59° and that its fans turn on for a couple of seconds and then turn off (I read that this should be normal routine). My room temperature is about 28° and the PC is well positioned and ventilated. I...

Hi, I am wondering if it’s worth upgrading/possible for my pc. I mainly play games on my PlayStation but from time to time I play some pc games (in 1080p and 144hz if possible). I use my pc for video editing also! Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card, and what card would you recommend...

Hello, I recently acquired a older dell m6600 for a decent price and was going to upgrade this thing to its limits. I plan on sticking with this model unless I can come across a 6700/6800 for a good price. Now I've heard of people getting hd 6xxx/7xxx/8xxx and r9 2xx graphics chips to work with...

My PC kicked the bucket, and I'm replacing it with something as close to the same specs as I can find. I don't know which motherboard the Optiplex 7040 Mini Tower uses, so I need a little help determining if the MSI NVIDIA GTX 970 will work with this new PC. I know the stock PSU will be...

I have a new build that I want to power up but do not have the PCI-E power cables. It has a MSI GTX 970 with 1x6-pin and 1x6+2-pin. I just received Rosewill's third attempt to send the correct cables and again they are keyed wrong and won't plug into the power supply. I am not looking at running...

I have an ASUS Prime X470-Pro motherboard with a Ryzen 5 3600. This PC is used mostly as an emulation and streaming box by the kids. It has an EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB FTW edition in it and up until a couple of weeks ago had been working just fine. No crashes no hiccups. This is no longer...

Hi Everyone, I am relatively new to building PCs/PC gaming and I want to upgrade my GPU but I am a little overwhelmed with all the options. I was hoping someone might have some recommendations based off my rig. I'm not trying to spend more than $700-$800, but I am open to any suggestions as...

Hi all, I know there are some similar discussions(which I’ve read) to this post. So apologies for that, just wanted to get some extra input on my situation in case anyway had some tips I had not thought of. About a month or two ago, my pc(5+ year old build) finally kicked the bucket during use...

I purchased my son a pc a couple years back and put in a graphics card for some basic PC gaming. Back in October or so, my son was using my old R9 290 video card and the card was causing the pc to reboot, which seemed related to one of the fans falling off and the GPU over heating. I purchased...

My computer has been automatically restarting while I've been gaming but only on 2 games, Star Citizen and Escape from Tarkov. On Star Citizen it can restart at any time but mostly occurring as soon as I load into the gameworld, I wasn't able to repeat it consistently and so couldn't accurately...

The market of GPU’s today is so screwed. 1050 non ti or ti versions being sold at least 150 dollars. 1060’s being sold 180 dollars or 200 even just for the 3gb version. 1070’s costing over 200 while the cheapest 250 dollars. I’m about to sell my 970 as someone on craigs wants to buy it for 80...

I'm trying to find the fault on my GTX 970 card and it seems that I have found at least one of the problems. There seems to be a DrMOS(?) that after plugging the power in is getting hot to the touch and anything else stays cool to the touch. The problem is that I cannot find this exact DrMOS's...
