GTX 1080 ti artifacts

[laurynas69420]

Why could this be happening? It all started when i turned my pc on went to play a game when it showed an error that i'm using integrated graphics, i went to device manager there it said my gpu isn't working (code 43), i reinstalled the drivers it seemed to fix the problem but when i went to play a game after maybe 2-5 minutes artifacts would pop up and it would crash, then i reinstalled windows thinking my drivers are glitching, but i'm still getting artifacts, temps seem fine and before all of this I was playing cpu intensive games like Arma 3, Dayz etc. So i highly doubt that i managed to destroy my vram.

What is the make/model of your power supply (PSU)?

Also, are you overclocking anything (CPU, GPU, memory)?

 

[laurynas69420]

Psu is a FSP HYPER 700

And no im not overclocking anything except i have XMP on in bios if that has anything to do with this

Do you know how old the PSU is? They can, and do, degrade over time. This can lead to the issues you are experiencing.

 

[laurynas69420]

Probably around 5-6 years old

Might simply be time for a new PSU. If not that, then the GPU may be failing (that would be worse given today's market prices and availability).

Your GPU temps looked okay, so re-pasting likely would not solve the issue.

What if my thermal pads are applied incorrectly would the program show high temps?

This is what I found when i opened it up.
Do you think it would be worth to get some proper thermal pads and change them?

It wouldn't hurt, that is for sure.

1000 series unfortunuately doesnt have either VRM or VRAM temperature sensors afaik, so its impossible to monitor them.

Sometimes thermal pads will leak a little oil onto the PCB around where they are applied and stain it a little, but from your picture that looks like there are actual burn marks on the PCB on the top right of the chip. Not 100% sure but it might be a case of RIP I'm afraid, given the symptoms you're describing.

Vga led on my mobo and black screen, tried in 3 different computers, gaming days are done for now 🥲

Sorry for the loss. At least prices are on the way back down, hope you can get something soon. Consider a new PSU as well, your parts will last longer with a good quality one.
