Sure, I'm here to help! What do you need assistance with?
During Thursday to Saturday I assembled my new computer and everything functioned properly until last night when playing Red Dead Redemption 2. When I tried to quit the game, my screen went dark and I couldn’t restore it. I attempted to remove and reinsert the GPU, but it still didn’t work. This morning I used my old 1660 or 1660 Super and it operated correctly. Should I reach out to EVGA or Newegg regarding a faulty 3080? The specific 3080 is the EVGA FTW3 ULTRA.
Consider using your 1660 model to test DDU; it might indicate a driver problem. If that happens, reach out to Newegg or EVGA and request an RMA for the card.
It could be a decent GPU. Verify your cable and monitor using a reliable, working connection first. Also, match your RAM SKU with the processor’s QVL on the board. I experienced a black screen during startup because of an incompatible RAM package, though mine simply failed to boot and resolved after a few tries. RAM problems can also lead to crashes like this. Keep in mind that NewEgg has faced criticism for selling questionable third-party hardware and dumping faulty GPUs. GamersNexus has shared some insights if you weren’t already informed about this issue.
