Gigabyte GTX 780 TI 3Gb GHz Edition

Seller Note “Artefacts, Blank screen”

Summary

  • Lovely understated, but high-end version of the GTX 780TI
  • Resistances look fine
    • VCore – 2.3
    • VMem – 74.8
    • PEX – 264.7
    • 5V – 6.46K
    • 3.3V – 852
    • 12V – v. high, M Ohm range
  • MATS Failing assertions, lots of artefacts, 1 failing chip, every bit failed, the bit pattern is all the same! I hope it’s nothing worse than the chip. It’s like the chip is totally dead!
  • I think the VDD pad/solder may have been faulty, to account for the chip reading entirely faulty.
  • Looking good now! 🙂

The DDR5 chip is Hynix H5GQ2H24AFR-R2C, I need to order some.

Following the Graphics Card VRAM Chip Replacement Procedure

Gigabyte GTX 780 TI GHz Edition – VRAM Pad Clean

OK – Initial checks good:

  • MATS 10/50/100Mb tests pass.
  • Drivers load in Windows 10, correct BIOS, and sensors look good.

Clean and re-assemble before stress testing.

Stress Testing

  • Kombuster HD – OK, FurMark HD – OK, Heaven Ultra HD (73 deg C) – OK
  • The backplate gets pretty hot, but these higher 7 series cards often do.
  • Limiting on Power and sometimes VRel.
  • Good looking FPS
  • 3D Time Spy – Legendary! 🙂
Gigabyte GTX 780 TI GHz Edition – 3D Time SPy Lengendary!

Update 01/10/2022 – Returned by the customer, showing artefacts

It seems this card has developed a new fault (or possibly it was switched by the customer, hopefully not, but I should start marking the cards). Strangely, I don’t get the same artefacts.

Now

  • Error 43 in device manager
  • MATS passes
  • MODS fails with the below error (690 NVRM FB Training Failed)

I guess there could be something (FB = feedback?) wrong with the VRM or worse, core. It seems the original memory error had not re-occured as I expected.
