I checked every PSU cable, but I'm still unsure what's happening. Could someone share a video showing details about my specific card?
Did you really use a microfiber cloth to clean the PCB of the graphics card? Those materials can generate static electricity that draws in dust, which might damage the parts. If it works with another card but not with your 3080, it’s likely the card is faulty. There’s usually nothing to overlook during setup. I’d still suggest verifying whether your system reports any installation issues.
The strix model holds up well despite potential issues from static or unexpected events. Your monitor is connected via the GPU's port—some Nvidia GPUs may have known problems with only DisplayPort. The HDMI connection appears to be the most reliable for checking. Do you have two full PCIe slots on your motherboard? You might test connecting both GPUs simultaneously to see which one shows up. Good luck!
I finally gave it a shot, but it didn’t work. I switched to my 3050 and 1060 models, but neither functioned properly… it seems another factor is at play. The power supply appears to be delivering power correctly, so that’s likely not the problem.
Hello... I need to reply here. As mentioned before, using the iGPU with your CPU and the 3080 connected should be tried first. Check if switching to the iGPU improves things. Also, uninstall the old GPU drivers using DDU Uninstaller and install new ones. Booting from the iGPU is crucial since it’s now your only way to access the video output signal. This step can also reveal other system details in Windows. I doubt all three GPUs you’ve used are faulty, so focus on the iGPU. If the issue isn’t driver-related, it might be a PCIe slot or power cable problem. You’ll only know for sure by testing. We wouldn’t suggest this if we didn’t think it could help.
