Hi all - Need some help please!
Bought a second hand Asus GTX 1080 the order day
https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-GeFor...keywords=asus+gtx+1080&qid=1607024804&sr=8-10
It arrived in good condition today and sadly would not work. Current card is an EVGA 1060 6GB edition which has served me well for over 3 years
Assumed it would be an easy swap but alas not. Card lit up, fans spinning but no visual output on any port and tried multiple devices.. Tried completely removing drivers and reinstalling. Flashed the bios also.
A friend suggested it might be the PSU but 600 watt should be ok, but could be borderline. When I researched the consensus seemed to be 500 watt+ so thought I would be okay
Have a 600W Corsair PSU as below. What do people think its the likelihood of the PSU being the issue? Don't want to take to a shop and end up out of pocket if the card turns out to be the problem but not sure what do do
https://www.amazon.co.uk/sair-CX600-600W-Power-Supply/dp/B009D79Z9I
Running A Ryzen 1700, 16 Gig ram, SSD and Sata setup. Nothing fancy by any means.
If the PSU was the problem would the card not show signs of life on the screen? tried removing and replacing it about 20 times and stopped for fear of damaging the slot. have put the 1060 back in in for now
Oh motherboard is
