When the GPU is outputting to the monitor there is these black lines across the screen (picture is actual just dated wrong.

Its running a Sapphire Radeon R9 295X2

Can you test a different monitor or input method on the monitor?

after that, try using a different cable or PCIe slot entirely

If after all of that you still have the lines, your GPU is isolated as the problem and is at the end of its life. Time to find a replacement

Would the reballing method work as a final try?

 


Honestly? Probably not. Make sure you try those first few methods of troubleshooting first. If it comes down to it, go ahead and try to resolder the bond. I think you'll probably just end up with a deader GPU though. haha

Alright, well the card was sold working but was returned like this, same serial numbers etc, had not been tampered with. So i'm not too sure of the history.
