Yea I was gonna try that eventually to at least narrow it down. I'll probably get to that tomorrow or Saturday. I appreciate the input

Hmm interesting I'll keep that in mind

Aha damn yea I know what you mean. I bought my 6800xt 6 months ago, of course it was greed that got the best of me cus it was $1100 on ebay second hand. But it was the red devil aib so I had to take that offer for MS flight sim in VR at the time.. And this board never gave me any issues with my old gtx 1070 oc'd. But weird things would happen after a OC test that failed, different from z77 3570k setup I had prior. The mystery of the RAM issue is in line with what you are saying though cus that in itself I still don't understand so yeah, it doesn't make sense but this is just how the hardware combo works now lol, I hope

My monitor is a free sync compatible monitor. I have not tried pulling the power cord from the monitor. My card does work on my brothers PC/monitor. When I plug in a HDMI or DP into my 6800xt, the monitor will flash a notification that a connection ahas been plugged in, but then will say it will turn off cus of no signal detection. But yea I'll definitely try that while I go out and see what happens. Than you

You know, I heard about pushing the power button for awhile but didn't bother with that. I will definitely try your whole suggestion and reply back. In the end I really think it's a power firmware issue considering everything else turns on and my RAM oc has caused this issue at inception. I will report back maybe tomorrow cus I need a drink right now. I appreciate the that input. Thank you

Yea see what you saying, but like I said I used an HDMI cable with my 6800,xt, that works with my PS4, and still nothing. I thought dp cable at first too but if HDMI isn't working either then it can't be that

I have not but my PS4 works with my monitor so I didn't bother trying. Als my 6800xt works on my brothers PC, on his monitor via HDMI, just confirmed that now

Hellow fellow Enthusiats. Specs: Ryzen 3600 - 1.3v, 4100 Mhz slight OC Powercolor Red Devil 6800XT 16GB (2x8GB) Gskill 3200 Mhz B350 MSI Tomahawk Max EVGA 750w Supernova G2 Gold 80+ 2 Hard drives, 3 SSDs MSI monitor 144hz 1440p 32" So, I come home one day after having my computer in Sleep (literally the whole night while i was sleeping). I wake up and i wake my PC up, there is no display. I do a hard shutdown by holding the power button and power on again, still no display. I shutdown again, switch the PSU power switch, waited 30 sec, power on again, still no display. At this point, my blood pressure is rising lol. I proceed to shut down, remove power plug, remove peripherals (USB, ethernet, displayport cable), remove cmos battery for 30sec. Power back on, still no display, (did not bother to connect peripherals except displayport cable) I then proceed to remove power and cmos, and also remove one stick of ram and place it in another slot (yes one of the correct ones). OC'd RAM in my PC has caused display out issues when i first got this 6800XT, mainly due to tightened timings I had. I really thought this could be the issue however, it really shouldn't because I have since just stayed on stock XMP settings since any RAM OC beyond that causes a display issue. And ever since I stayed on stock XMP i never had a display output issue from this 6800XT. Also the reasoning behind taking out one stick or switching slots is it will reset timings and frequency, at least from my observations with my setup. (I had stock XMP settings at the occurrence of this issue). The RAM slot change or just one stick removed still did not do anything. I then try my brothers MSI Gaming GTX 980 (I love that card, actually had 2 at some point in 2015 to try SLI). Inserterd the 980, STILL NO DISPLAY. ***Everything turns on when i power on. GPU lights and fan turn on. on both the 6800XT and 980. CPU fan and system fan turn on. can hear mechanical drives spooling. I think it is a PSU issue. It has been awesome, Ive had a 3570k Oc'd with it, DDR3 2100 OC'd with it,2 GTX 980s, GTX 1070 all OC'd with it. I would have never thought the time would come but, i think about the years i've had it, does this happen? everything turns on but no display from 2 different GPUs means it is dying? The fact it happened after waking up from sleep, maybe a power surge happened that damaged the 12v rail? YES ive tried HDMI on both the 980 and 6800XT. no dice. YES, the HDMI works on my PS4 ***Edit: I've tried my 6800xt in my brothers Intel based PC, it works. Also tried his Ram in my PC, nothing. If anyone can PLEASE give any kind of input before I bite the bullet on another PSU, please I accept any advice and/or condolences lol Thank you,

Lol, well thanks for quoting me in this. September is seasonally a bad month for stocks but damn who would've known about the Evergrande thing. Also got the Fed meeting on Tuesday. Was hard to look at my portfolio today but I spent the day selling put credit spreads that expire this week to offset some of the loss. Hopefully that works out for me

I agree, if you're just looking for a fund to invest in and not individual stock picking, you really can't go wrong with an ETF. Even QQQ wouldn't be bad for low risk and decent anuualized returns. Yeah it's growth, but even if the Fed starts tapering in November I really cant see a growth/tech ETF correcting more than 15% in the worst case scenario. Just look how much the VIX came down in the past 12 months. I do feel like the market as a whole may have a correction sometime this month, but even then I can't see that being more than 5%.

Just wanted to chime in one more time about the Powercolor Red Devil 6800XT I purchased. So the issue with display not being detected and random crashes actually continued further to the point where I could never get the display detected. I switched back to the 1070 and same thing - no display. So at this point I'm frustrated and feeling defeated. And of course I tried clearing cmos and trying the other pcie slot. At least i knew by this point that it could not be the 6800xt since the 1070 is not even outputting a display now. Until I looked online and tried removing a stick of ram, i was finally able to get into bios and windows. My ram stick wasnt faulty though. I reset all my CPU and RAM overclocks, stuck the other stick back in, reinstalled the 6800XT, and everything was flawless after that. Seems it was the overclocks in my system that was causing problems with the card not displaying and crashing. but my god this card is a alright lol.

Alright so I did get the card earlier than expected but I needed a few days to play around with it. The card is very nice. Stays pretty cool and fan noise isn't a problem. I did however experience some problems upon installation like crashing and display not being detected. but its seems fine now and i have almost no issues now. very strange though. Performance is awesome and is definitely a noticeable upgrade from my 1070. I ran Timespy with +15% power and 2400 - 2500 Mhz. Graphics score: 18,368 https://www.3dmark.com/spy/20967168

im trying to view this thread but the whole site is unformateed for me right now. Server error?

I see that this thread is a ghost town but I will definitely share my experience with it when i get my Powercolor Red Devil friday. I really didnt want to buy anything like this in the current market but for $1,400 used off ebay it looked like a steal compared to the other nvidia cards right now. Plus I made some money on the stock market soooo why not? lol

ya i had to switch over to this forum.
