So my EVGA GTX 970 SSC died several months ago. PC would no longer boot with it installed, tried it in multiple PC's with no luck. The card was several years old (purchased back in 2014) so I figured that Best Buy or EVGA wasn't going to assist me with it. I bit the bullet and purchased an EVGA GTX 1080 and haven't looked back.
I now have a 970 that I cannot use. What is there to be done with this? Do people buy these and try to fix them up? Should I just throw it away or send it to some electronic recycling company? Will EVGA take old broken cards back? Will Best Buy?
I do not know the extent of the damage to the card, I only know the PC will not boot with it in. I would love to get some money out of it by selling it to someone that fixes "broken" cards, but I don't know where to find such a person. Does anyone on these forums do this?
I've seen a lot of people just display them in their GPU graveyard but honestly I'm moving soon and don't need any extra stuff to take with me. Just looking for a proper solution.
Thank you.
