Zoom7000 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 So, my daughter was just watching YouTube when this happened:So, do you reckon my GPU has just died on me? It displays that during the POST and at all times now. I've opened the case and tried reseating it to no avail. Unplugged and recabled everything and still the same.Anyone know what kinda warranty comes with a Gigabyte 560Ti? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Raze Subscriber² Posted October 11, 2014 Subscriber² Share Posted October 11, 2014 Gigabyte warranty info - http://uk.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/customer-service.aspx?m=n& Not a lot of info, but I hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc2k Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 All Gigabyte GPUs come with a 3 year warranty as far as I'm aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom7000 Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 Ah... bought mine in Jan 2011 :( It's an expense I really don't need at the moment! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helpifIcan Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Just to be sure did you try a different monitor and/or cable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anibal P Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Just to be sure did you try a different monitor and/or cable? This indeed, was having some issues and turned out to be a dying screen and not the GPU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom7000 Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Well, it was definitely the GPU that died. My friend kindly donated a 9800GTX which has at least got me back up running, however, I was just about to buy Final Fantasy XIII and GTAV (Upon release) So, I'll still need to save up for a 750Ti which appears to be the cost and performance equivalent to my 560Ti as I very much doubt the 9800GTX will fair well with those 2 graphical beasts! It's just too bad that EVGA don't do 10 year warranties anymore, but I guess they learnt from BFG's failure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unobscured Vision Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Just got this .. Gigabyte Geforce GTX 750 Ti with the Windforce cooling. Good performing card and does everything I need it to do, and the price was good also. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVGA makes very average products, their only claim to fame is that they stroke the ahh let's say "ego" of people with unwarranted Nvidia hard-on.

Sandor Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Buy ASUS or MSI, I used to sell Gigabyte cards. Can't really recommend them. My MSI GTX760 melted itself in under a year. Got a Zotac one at the moment...hopefully it'll last a little longer. Trying to flog my brand-new-in-box warranty replacement MSI one at the moment.

Damn shame your 760 melted, I would have thought Nvidia made some heat protection built into their chips. I know AMD does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre S. Veteran Posted October 19, 2014 Veteran Share Posted October 19, 2014 I have 2 MSI GTX 760s and they're been running flawlessly and very silently since I got them. Also ordered two MSI Z87-Gaming motherboards for computers at work and they're working great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the 750 Ti is a great bang for the buck, I wouldn't get the 750 Ti right now unless it's hugely discounted. It's better to wait and see what Nvidia coming out.

It's better to wait and see what Nvidia coming out. 750 Ti is not really great bang for buck, but it uses half the power of the equivalent AMD card. While waiting is advisable (AMD should launch 3xx early next year), I don't believe Nvidia will release anything close to the 750 Ti in price since it is a Maxwell card after all.

According to Passmark ranking system, the 750 TI is currently the 4th best "bang for the buck" graphics card. Please tell us why it is not worthy of that distinction. http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_value.html w10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, the second sentence of my previous post was more pertinent to this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
