- 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
![](https://rupz.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/gigabyte-gtx-780-ti-ghz-ed-vram-pad-cleaned-1024x768.jpg)
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! 🙂

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)
![](https://rupz.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/IMG_20221001_112613-1024x768.jpg)
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.
