Hi,

My AMD Radeon R9 280X fails to boot my windows 10. It looks like my screen is broken.

But when I plug my hdmi to the built in motherboard graphics card. it runs normally although a bit slow.

Is there anyway to fix it?

Thanks

I'd personally probably go with a more recognizable brand like Sapphire, EVGA, MSI, Zotac, etc. I've just never heard of Palit before. But if you run into a 480 and 1060 at roughly the same pricepoint, I'd probably go 1060 every time.

Looks pretty broken to me. If it's under warranty I'd send it in. If not, I dunno what your other options are. What processor are you running? Actually just give me all of your specs, including power supply.

Hi! Thanks for replying. It sucks that i'd need to buy a new videocard only after 2 years. I think overheating is one cause since it's very hot here. Not sure though.

Anyway, here are my specs, hope you can help me deciding on a new videocard. Looking into RX 480 or GTX 1080 right now

CPU: Intel i5 4590 @ 3.30GHZ
GPU: R9 280X
RAM: 8GB DDr3 800MHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte h97-gaming3
PSU: Seasonic 620W 80Plus Bronze power

Yeah, I think the 1060 compares better with the RX 480. The 1070 is then better, then the 1080 even better. (Just odd that you compared cards that are like $300+ apart in price lol). Yeah, it's important to monitor temperatures of components, especially graphics cards, because it's easy to unknowingly fry them. NVIDIA cards tend to run cooler than AMD in my experience.
