Old and hot second hand NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 in 2023?

[@chazbotic]

a copper shim plate for the memory might help if you cut some with tin snips from 1mm thick copper sheet. that spreads out the heat and you cause paste or pads to help the connection.

[@sh0t734]

most common fault is that some pins get "unsoldered".
Using hot air on the GPU DIE should fix it, but in reality a perfoament fix is reflowing the gpu die

i had a GTX 760 with almost the same board model as yours, can you try modding the bios?

[@mecyanned]

I have modded xtremeg drivers you can try too, they are signed with nvcleanstall
Note: they are version 472, and latest supported is 474

Looks like unstable VRAM, as Windows said "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT" in the BSOD.

Zotac GPUs are always trash. I've had 2 GPUs from them and they always stop working. As soon as I tested Gigabyte, Asus and EVGA GPUs issues like high temps or artifacts were gone.

[@costi2596]

Zotac is better than both anus and shitabyte, especially shitabyte, these gpus are just old e waste so its normal

[@mecyanned]

What happens if you plug the display cable into the igpu instead? Will there still be artifacts?

[@NerdyThrowbackTech]

With the iGPU everything is fine, no artifacts. Same cables, same display

[@mecyanned]

@@NerdyThrowbackTech So the gpus work fine when running through the igpu? Can it also play games when connected through igpu? Kinda like laptops

[@nothinginteresting1833]

@@mecyanned but totally not worth it in my opinion since too much performance loss

[@mecyanned]

@@nothinginteresting1833 better than nothing

[@costi2596]

​@@mecyannedNo, the gpu is cooked, if you plug the cable in the igpu its gonna just use the ugpu
