|
 |
So got 2080ti last year in feb for 900eu because of the nightmare with drivers on amd vega 56.
5-6 months go by and get woken up by a loud shotgun blast that was a lightning strike and computer is turned off after that. It went through cable modem, cable modem somehow survived and worked for a bit but noticed I got electrified a little when touching it 
Computer somehow still worked minus one network port if it turned on and motherboard didn go crazy on codes, then after a week motherboard would just throw some code out and not turn on anymore. Fine, rma Asrock motherboard get full refund from mf and get a new gigabyte master.
Now for about half a year im dealing with these random microstutters 75fps down to 69, 73 just enough to get that shity stutter feeling that im almost 100% didnt exist before.
All games forza4, fallout 4-76, horizon zero dawn, death stranding, division2, even had some problems with wow last year i think, etc.
Spec:
9900k
gigabyte master z390
ram 3200 xmp
zotac 2080ti tripe fan
3x sdd
lg ultrawide
apc 1500 ups
corsair 750w
win10 1809 ltsc and 20h2 or watever
Uptime is great, can go 30days until reboot, just this shit with microstutter. Right now trying overclock 5ghz and gonna push ram to 1.4 volts and try memory controller voltage to see if it will help break through whatever is fucked. Maybe try with 1 ram stick each too.
Right now using forza 4 for testing as its new and fun to driver around because microstutter is random and it doesnt happened for minutes.
Would probably need to test separately the 900eu card but have only a i5 4xxxk system and would probably bottleneck.
Never had a high end card before and 16 years no lightning damage here Just posting to vent a little.

No. If it would be lightning damage, component would be totally dead.

components can be dead, damaged, the device can still work but with problems. I have a few of those items myself (in my modular synth system where at least 2 out of around 100 modules are a bit bonkers due to electronic faults which i've verified).
But yeah microstutters, since that is not something totally uncommon its impossible to say, i would say its unlikely but not impossible.

I highly doubt the 2 are related in any way or shape.
Things to try, as always, are;
Clean Driver reinstall with DDU,
resetting any eventual overclocking back to default, GPU and CPU,
checking for any bios updates,
running stress tests (3dmark, Cinebench, aida64, etc.) and compare scores with similar systems.
If none of that helps/resolves the issue, maybe even fresh windows install/reset.

Bruh... for it to fuck up your MB it had to go through your PSU too.
IF you still have problems after doing what the post above this one recommends maybe buy a new PSU to test it with for a few days, worst case scenario you can return it if the result is the same.

yes definatly return it last weeks within warranty and dont mention lighting strike, just say stutters n artefacts or something, these cards have spare stuff that some might be damaged, i see card repair guys on youtube cut parts n solder stuff off (phases?)and card doesnt give a fuck but doesnt perform as high

Yes did that. Actually testing on a brand new install of windows same thing. Forgot to mention I did have another asrock MB for a week or 2 before gigabyte and had the same symptoms.

Was thinking of trying the old corsair hx1000 thats in nas now. They were both running and were on a ups when it hit but only the main computer with dead network port shutdown.

lol yeah im thinking something minor got damaged, just dunno if its cpu, ram, gpu maybe psu. Card still got warranty till end of the year in some domestic shop so might be tough RMAing for random around 5 fps drops but ill try once I figure it out.
Thanks guise.
