Give me your opinion whats happening with this GPU.
Sometimes when on display is only black screen, gpu heats alot but when shows picture like on screenshots temp is ok.
I tried some other bioses with no luck, at moment THIS bios is flashed.
Same picture resolution and color on microsoft display driver (Basic one).

Here is startup video.

When i try to enter in bios shows this.

Artifacting, memory size on GPU-Z is 0MB, signs that the GPU is dead. Also, how old is the PSU in your build? In the other screenshot, you seem to have a Nvidia 68... series GPU?
Thanks for the answer.
Sometimes gpuz shows 4096mb of mem, I think when basic driver is on or some other bios and Nvidia 6800 GS thats just my testing GPU forget about that fossil :D
PSU is 2y old, tested with some other PSU, same thing.


This screenshot is when R9 is secondary GPU as you can see and fossil nvidia 6800gs primary. I just tested like that.
