I was just thinking, why I never tried this, so I did - and it worked! You can get (kind of) a 3D effect on your games and videos. It's not perfect of course, because it's not real 3D, but you should definitely try it - and it's free. What you need is sunglasses. Now cover just one of your eyes...

There are different types of freesync. There's eg. "freesync premium" which has higher range. "Low framerate compensation (LFC), allows FreeSync technology to work when the framerate falls below the minimum refresh rate of the display. When the framerate drops below the minimum refresh rate of...

I could buy it and try it. Does it have to be A4N? Or can it be anything "NCP81161" like A4F, A4L etc.? I guess it's just a marking on the same thing. I removed the card today to check if these are indeed A4Ns (they are). I didn't do that previously as I thought it could lead to some problems...

Not a card but Integrated GPU though it's undoubtedly GMA500 that I consider to be the worst thing that ever happened to me.

Fortunately I've read it before assembling the card again. Pin 1 is left top corner (it's indicated on the motherboard). The controller is apparently well known and has been used in many other AMD cards before. It's NCP81022 (4 + 1 phases). Documentation is available online.

Drivers didn't work at the beginning. System didn't even detect the card correctly. I've written about it in here: https://hardforum.com/threads/solved-rx-460-blown-fuse.1992996/post-1044519704 But if it works right now that doesn't matter, but I didn't have to flash the vBIOS. I cleared CMOS...

My multimeter can't measure frequencies 😂 But yeah. Once I get something to check it, I'll do it.

Because of the worldwide spread virus it took a very long time before the package with the new mosfets came. I was testing how the card behaves without the mosfet. I downclocked it so it doesn't exceed 808 MHz and it topped at ~30 W usually at ~22 W under the load. I "torture tested" it for 72...

Well the fans are working great after the reboot and are now following my fan speed settings. It seems that there's something wrong with the driver. It worked good yesterday. I plugged in second monitor today (and I didn't reboot the system after that). Do you have double monitor setup? I...

I just noticed something very strange. My fan settings are ignored. They worked yesterday (while I was setting them) but now the fans are spinning and they stop... spin again for a while and stop again. Maybe the whole core of the problem is in the fan (or software controlling the fan). I have...

Unfortunately mine doesn't. But it's not an issue. I'll just solder new MOSFET in there. I'm pretty sure my card died because of the drivers fault what made it "reinitialize" (for the Nth time). And I'm used to that 99% of electronics is dying during its startup. Looking at Gigabyte's PCB I...

Replacement is coming ;) It sounds like I would need an oscilloscope to check this though. But if I'll solder a new MOSFET it's not like it does matter right now. But yeah, I'll buy an oscilloscope in the future for sure. Another toy to have fun with :)

Because I've seen it in the videos I had to try it myself. I checked all of the MOSFETs and found one that behaved differently. All of them had almost the same values except for this one, that turned out to be the same as kodaf56 's. I desoldered it. Plugged in my "power supply" and the core...

How bad would it be to desolder this one mosfet and try to run the card on 3 phases? EDIT: From what I've learned trying to get more information about how to repair a GPU, looks like failing MOSFETs is the second most common problem after failing capacitor (at least it looks that it's like...

Let me give you some update. So I've searched for hot spots on the card but didn't find anything. Probably I'll really need lab power supply - because this buck converter probably can't do what I want ;d (I power it with a laptop power supply because they're usually ~19V and 3-5A). At 2A the...

I have the equipment, though I'm not certain what's the best way to supply this card. Should I buy some PCI raiser and mod it to have ability to put in 12V in there? Or is there some equipment I couldn't find that I can plug in the GPU and test it? I could always do it dirty way and solder + and...

My fault. By saying "not a laboratory one" I put my thoughts without explanation that I don't have money for a power supply like this. Even cheap ones are expensive. But as they say - Necessity is the mother of invention. You said ATX power supply won't suffice. BUT I've found a great step-down...

Removing components on the 12V rail to find a failing one doesn't sound like fun. So I would need some proper power supply to look for hot components and then hot air solder to replace them. I was thinking about power supply and hot air for some time now. I will need to look on the Internet if...

Here are my measuring results. These "arrows" that you've drawn really helped. Measurements: 1. Across the fuse - infinity (of course) 2. 2-3 ohms - sooo... that's not good 3. GPU VCore - ~3 ohms 4. Memory - ~56 ohms 5. Memory controller - OK - ~35 ohms 6. 3.3 V - non-zero (30 ohms) 7...

That's very helpful! I've read your thread about resurrecting dead GPUs and it is really great, with a lot of useful information! I finally start to understand what's going on. Because it's late in here, I'm going to get some rest and make measurements tomorrow. You're right about the new fuse -...

I'm not playing games. This card was too powerful for my needs. I used it to calculate stuff. They definitely won't fix it after my soldering :) The story of my Gigabyte RX460: There was a card. Graphics card. It didn't have hard time. It played Witcher 3 from time to time and calculated...

Iron. I don't have hot air :( I already soldered it. Checked the connection and it looks fine (beeps ;)) Unfortunately - it's still dead. Fans don't even bother starting. I don't have knowledge nor equipment to push it further. Though that would be an interesting journey to repair it. Shame. I...

Thank you for the answer! The idea with the fuse holder is great. I didn't think about it. I can't RMA it because it died ~3 months after guarantee period (how convenient). Fortunately I feel comfortable with soldering. Thanks again!

Hi everyone! I'm new here and I come because I hope you can help me. I have Gigabyte RX 460. Few months ago it stopped working. I didn't have time to check what's really going on. It doesn't work and isn't detected at all. I checked that fans are still working (if you give them some juice...
