Hey all.
 
Bought my two 980ti Classifieds about 5 months ago. One has died now. The problem is that one was purchased from Best Buy, the other was from Amazon.
 
I can either RMA it through EVGA, or try to see if Best Buy will give me a warranty covered refund on it. The problem being if I go through Best Buy(much quicker), I will be stuck, since they do not carry them anymore. Is there any chance of returning the one to Best Buy, and then having EVGA allow me to send in the working one to upgrade to a 1080?
 
Gratiz.

Unless the card is registered and on the step up list I would say chances are slim.

If you bought them over 5 months ago, you are out of the step up window. You can just RMA the broken one theough EVGA if Best Buy wont get yiu a warranty replacement of the same model.

Thanks, guys. I figured that would be my route, but didn't want to accept my fate :P

So, a brief update.
 
I reinstalled drivers/F@H software and still experiencing issues.
 
I fired up a GPU benchmark, and both GPU's performed flawlessly.
 
Any ideas?

The last couple of drivers have messed up F@H. Try 373.06 - those were the last set that I used that worked.

I wondered if that was the issue. Do you by chance have a URL to the old versions?

373.06 are working fine for me on both GTX-980 and GTX-980 ti boards for Folding. I won't update until I hear something positive from the Folding Community.

Downloading 373.06 now, will install it in a bit. hope to be back to folding full power soon.
 
Thanks guys.
