Is my GPU completely dead or could it be a different issue?

Asked By TechSavvyHunter42 On

I have a 6800XT, and recently I've been getting no signal to my monitors. However, my RX580 works without any problems. When I power on my PC, the fans on the 6800XT spin, and the lights turn on. Could this be a problem with my PSU, or is my GPU definitely dead? I don't currently have a spare PSU to test with, so I'm hoping there's still a chance it could be something else, especially since I can't afford to replace the GPU right now.

You might want to consider testing your GPU in a different PC if that's an option. Regarding the PSU, it’s possible it could cause issues if it doesn’t provide enough power, especially under load. But since the fans and lights turn on, there's still a chance the GPU is fine. If you can't test with a different PSU, keep an eye out for any error codes or beeps on startup; they can also provide clues!

It sounds like there may be a few things to check. Since your RX580 works fine, it might not be a complete GPU failure. Have you tried reseating the GPU in its slot? Sometimes a simple reinstallation can fix connection issues. Also, if you can, check whether there’s a BIOS update for your motherboard that might improve compatibility with the 6800XT.
