Gigabyte Windforce Extreme GTX 980ti Card C

Seller Note “Black screen with backlight”

Summary

  • Resistances seem fine
    • PEX 384Ω
    • vcore 3.9Ω
    • vmem 18Ω
  • Seller’s note is not entirely accurate, the card exhibits light artefacts, reaches windows and crashes on driver load. There is also similar coil whine to Gigabyte Windforce Extreme GTX 980ti Card A
  • Mats has trouble running put the below results were obtained, uncertain if they are a reliable indication that chip FBIOF0 is the issue (pattern looks strange, might be the memory controller?)
  • Will dismantle to identify the vram type

mats version 400.184. Testing GM200 with 20 MB of memory starting with 0 MB.
