Power consumption of fried TITAN

[peaceduke]

Hello !

I fried GTX TITAN month ago. So, it's lying dead here on my bookshelf but it's still working, I mean it's able to show image on screen ,
but not able to install drivers , red green dots all over the screen and no GPU features in GPUZ

as you know power consumption on working card is somewhere 250W and recommended PSU is 700-800W
I'm planing to use that card for JUST showing an image on screen but here is the question

if memory controller and CUDA cores are not working anymore (controllers are dead I assume)
is it still consumes 250W ? can I use that card with 550W PSU machine ?

Not sure if this is the same Titan, but it refers to the 250w limit:

Basically if you aren't ever going to use it for 3D, in theory you are fine as 2D work is 9w according to this very website...

as I said it's fried how can I use it for 3d , it's working like onboard GPU that's all it can do
no CUDAs no 6GB memory anymore no features in GPUz at all, just shows image on screen , it can't even go to fullHD
when starting 3d app it says error , etc etc ...
I just need image on screen , and I have 550W machine , so I hope it will not consume power anymore

Why do you need to use broken Titan for that? Any $20 graphics card will do it.

Doesn't your system have integrated GPU also?

 

[RobCrezz]

Yeah without drivers etc it will only be using 10-20w.

unfortunately no integrated GPU
I can't find 20$ at local stores
any purchase I'm making on amazon requires long delivery time
20$ is not a problem of course but I can't just recycle titan , it's titan ... ))

All modern cards have an "idle" draw of ~10-20W.

no CUDAs no 6GB memory anymore no features in GPUz at all

All of that stuff is still there. It sounds like the card is artifacting. Either the GPU or the memory is dying. Eventually it will. You can use it as a basic card if you want, but eventually that too will fail.

 

[RobCrezz]

I would bake it, might just work for a while...

I don't think it fill fail completely soon

can't rely on baked card , I'm risking to fry it completely
moreover if baked will work for month and will fail again it might fail completely as I said
10-20W what I need thanks

"I don't think..." means exactly nothing.
It is already faulty. What leads you to believe that it will continue 'working'?

Sure choice is yours. That said, I have baked cards which have been fixed completely.

I'm using it now , let's see what happens , nor you can say it will fail soon
chip is failing coz of a load and temps so no temps no load no fail I believe
only time will show

so no temps no load no fail I believe

No temps? No load? Ok... Guess I'll move on seeing as you have your mind made up.
