Hello guys a few months ago I joined this forum in order to ask you about a new graphic card suggestion as my last one got fried during BF1. Recently I saved enough and bought myself a Gigabyte VGA Geforce GTX 1060 G1 Gaming Edition 6GB. I have it for roughly two weeks but I'm having some issues that I need your advice on. The answer might be simple enough for you but bear with me. My PC components are:
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z87-HD3
CPU: Intel Core i5-4570
RAM: 8GB
One hard drive of 1TB and one SSD of 250gbs.
The issues have been that randomly during my PC usage ( varies from watching Youtube videos, movies, to gaming) red vertical lines will show up for roughly a second and then dissapear and sometimes my screen seems to reset(?) as it turns black for a second and goes back on with an indication of the resolution coming from the monitor ( Samsung T23C350).
From my online searches I've seen answers as that my Monitor is dying to that my graphic cards is faulty. But there is one detail that might be the answer that I can't get, before asking for a refund for the card etc. When my other card fried the adaptor for my GPU on my motherboard unstuck so I had to stick the new graphic card to the other GPU spot which is (I think?) PCI Express x16 slot, running at x4 so the guys at the hardware (they installed the new one) only informed me that the GPU wouldn't run in maximum efficience thus I don't have as high FPS as I would expect from the card while gaming.
Thank you for the patience and feel free to ask me for any other detail as I am really frustrated and don't want to take the card back to the store without being sure that it's faulty.
