Bought the 3800x mobo combo from Microcenter :ehh: if I see the 3600/3700x get a good deal in the coming week I'll take it back. Need a 2070 super deal or I'm copping that Sapphire nitro+.

Think my MSI Vega 64 has shyt the bed. Computer ain’t booting with it but booted with my trusty reference GTX 970 :unimpressed:

Having to RMA a card :martin:

EDIT: Tried it again and it booted up but I still think there's some problems, I see some snow flash across the screen. :martin:

I hear MSI has a garbage RMA process :snoop:
There's the 5700 XT and the 2070 Super to replace the Vega 64. Also, did you get the MSI Vega 64 GPU :picard:

Yep. I just edited my post.

It has booted again but this is like the fourth or fifth time it's happen and I finally figured out it was the GPU.

Computer goes to sleep, doesn't wake up. Boot cycles, Q-codes on the motherboard go crazy, monitor goes crazy, uses second monitor, try new cables.

Same story as always.

Now I have to see if it's worth RMA'ing and how much time I have left under warranty :picard:

You're better off get the RMA and hope MSI does check up on it or bless you with a new card

I’ve RMA’d more gpus than I would have liked. Take screenshots of any artifacting, flickering and graphical glitches. If possible also show the temp with whatever program you can use to display that info (some sort of afterburner like program). RMAing cards can be a big hassle, and the card maker will likely make you jump through some hoops. If you have screenshots or videos of artifacting or flicker occurring in multiple games, you can skip the runaround with the card maker
