[SOLVED] looking for possible new GPU to go with Ryzen 7

[bertrom]

Hi everyone,

I am thinking of up getting a new video card for my desktop. I have an MSI x470 gaming plus MB with a Ryzen 7 2700x 8-core processor, 32 gigs of ddr4 1066 Mhz memory and an geforce GTX 1070 ti video card. The issue is when playing certain games (RDR2 online especially) the video card seems to overheat and shut the system down or the graphics distort. Just started doing this in the past couple weeks. I have used msi afterburner to jack up the GPU fans but the problem persists. Dust is not an issue as I have blown the entire tower clean. I have an exterior fan blowing into the side of the tower and have the side open. Is it possibly a GPU problem? If so, what is a good match for the setup I have. The video card is a couple years old.

Thanks in advance!
Ed

Oh, because if you were able to put in another GPU and those issues stopped then it' likely the 1070 ti. Or if the issues continued then maybe try something else.

Did this issue happen recently? Was there any hardware or software changes when it started?

Stick w/ an AMD since you're using a Ryzen. Crossing is not optimal.
(Nvidia GPU and then haivng AMD Processor, not the best.)

Do you use only an Intel GPU with an Intel CPU? Or a Nvidia GPU with a Nvidia CPU?

False in every way. I'm running Intel and AMD with 0 issues. Stop spreading misinformation, and confusing users who are new to DIY.

Hmm
So if 80C (170F) is considered normal for the 1070ti, should I be looking elswehere to solve this problem? As i have said, drivers are up to date. Could the ram really be the issue?
Again thank you ALL for your responses!

80C is a little high, but not so high that it should cause issues. My 1070TI ran at about 75C under load. But at that time my case was starving it of air flow. I changed my case and thermal paste and i would run around 68-69C.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but the 1070TI will not thermal throttle till 87C.

Just reading through this. One thing I don't think I've seen mentioned is power supply. What power supply are you running? If temps are good, but your power supply isn't delivering power it could be your 1070ti is starving for power.

Oops. Must have read right over it.

Ok so I am showing off my amateur status. I do have 32 gigs of ram but they are 3000 MHz sticks. It was being read as 1066 MHz because I never changed it in the bios. Unfortunately I already bought some 3200 MHz sticks. Haha. I guess I can return them.
