However, the mobile version of TPU is one of the best mobile websites in the biz!

[Currymancer]

so you guys think if i just replaced the graphics card with a new one it would fix it? what else could cause fps loss?

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

incompetence?

Put the new gpu in...is there a problem ?

If no......happy days.

if yes.....the whole rest of your pc COULD be damaged.
At least you can be pretty sure the gpu will work fine when it arrives.
Have you wiped your ram sticks with isopryl?
Is your cpu running too hot and throttling back?

Read through TPU forums, loads of people will help but you have to help yourself too.

Even if the rest of your pc is fooked youll have a new gpu to build a system around.

dude really if you dont have the enough skills / knowledge why dont asking someone near you to help you or taken it to a computer shop / repair just to be checked...?
you can also screw everything because of lack of skill and knowledge, don't be offended it's just an advice ... as capslockstuck said you have to help yourself too...
i repeat my aim its not to offend you but help you out

Means either your GPU is overheating or just dead. This is a PEBCAK issue alright.

+1 for use of PEBCAK

Where be the old one? Still trying to necro it when it's not even clean?

"if it fixes my fps problems"






F***....... i hope it does too !!!!!

@Toothless you are desperate to give it a baking......i can tell.

@Currymancer , send it to Toothless, he deserves it.

I do want to test my skills and see if I can clean and bring back to life the card. I'm sure it'll see the oven too.

Funny thing is that my mother is actually having me make dinners now,

Wait a minute where does it say he's old card is dead? From what I've understood it's working but not as before the spill, but still capable of running games.

From what I gathered, the old card was just abandoned and pushed aside as a new one is coming in to replace it. Sounds like my life in my home state. (Being replaced that is)

I'm guessing the solder reflows add a unique taste to every meal.

From earlier..

For some reason, the card incorrectly sees power consumption incredibly high and throttles the card down to stay under TDP limits. The bios mods were probably just upped TDP limits allowing the card to clock itself higher, but not up to normal speeds hence now improved FPS, but not normal FPS.

My guess is there's either a short somewhere causing actual high power consumption or a short somewhere tricking the card in to thinking it has high power consumption.

It's more of the smoke from the GPU itself, with a small touch of melted memory mods that bring out the taste of overclock.

Can i have a soda with mine please.

 

[Naito]

I'm just surprised the entire system wasn't torn down, checked, bathed, and left to dry for at least a week. Heck, even place it close to a CaCl2 dehumidifier to really make sure it is dry before use. Buying another GPU when it is very possible another component of the system is damage, could very well mean another GPU will fry. It's like replacing a head gasket on a motor without finding out what the original cause was; you can replace it, but it'll most likely blow again.

EDIT: Well, we know the original cause, but you need to diagnose the problem further to rule out everything else...

You may have a coke with a heatsink pipe straw. It's like a crazy straw but you can't see through it.

I'm imagining this and it's highly amusing.
Great GPU temps, but warm coke. Worth it? Maybe.
