In the spirit of giving and because @StanG started us off with the '12 days of Christmas', I thought I'd offer up my backup video card for any 'XI member' in the CONUS (lower 48 states) that could use it.

It's an Asus Geforce GTX 970.   As you can see it's only a 4GB card, but worked well when it was in my old system.   Should be in working condition, but can't (and won't) guarantee.   Upgraded when the MB fried.

Ping me if interested

If anyone has a card that recently stopped working and is out of warranty it is worth giving this a go

I got 6-9 months more out of an old card that had died doing this years ago. I know Boomboom got some more use out of his card after I told him about it. It might not work and won't be a permanent solution, but might buy some time. Might be worth a go @X-RayXI.

Got to tell the truth there Smeg... Nvidia got sued cause the 970 only runs 3.5 GB Vram at full speed, the last .5 is much slower.  I know cause they paid me $30 for the one I bought .... But the 970 is still a really good gaming card. :)

Nah, can be done once or twice and done and dead quicker. 
A few years ago, Linus Tech tips did it and got slapped by a other YT repairman that it is BS to believe in the solder parts. With 200C, you are not fixing the solders or the lanes to make it work. He said also, you have to be lucky. Mine is well used and was a >XI< Item giving to me and had a goofy good life thanks to @JohnnyNashville .

Thanks CW....a working video card is better than a non-working video card.  Especially when the price is right!  ?

Got that right Smeg.  Plus the GTX 970 runs faster than a RX 570 and neck and neck with the RX 580 in games.  Even with today's AAA titles it still does a good job at 1080p. In BF V 1080p and Ultra settings it benches at 60+ fps.  Not bad for this old war horse.:horse:
