I bought a used gtx 680 dirt cheap but it has some artifacts and smells like burned electric stuff.
1. The artifacts are red dots , triangles and other
2. The artifacts are displayed only with drivers and in windows. (The boot logo and windows logo are fine. Even the windows is fine in safe mode.)
3. When I start a game ( Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor) the artifacs are really bad . And the card resets. (driver crash, etc) -> Thermal problem (more to come)
4. I've notice that one of the vram chips(first one looks to me, it has 8) it's hot, and you can't touch it when in game because it's becoming really hot(I mean really hot) .
The other 2 are worm but not like the first one.
The chips are HYNIX H5GQ2H24AFR R0C 248A . I've found a seller but the chips are HYNIX H5GQ2H24AFR R0C 214A , does it matter?
I will post a few photos to see better the issue. Please help me! Thanks!
