It's been a horrendous week as my son's PC crashed and we've been juggling builds ever since. Finally bought a new MB but now his 2060 Super is broke.

Of the 3 ouputs only 1 DP is working and the other DP and the HDMI don't. Tried reinstalling drivers etc without success. Tried it in my PC and still no luck.

Searching the web didn't help, ergo I ask the PH massive

Maybe whatever caused the MB to go pop, also damaged the GPU? Maybe the PSU is also faulty?

Does your son need more than a single monitor connected?

An AMD RX6600 is about £250 and delivers about 20% more FPS at 1080p/1440p.

If it's definitely just a failing GPU:
RTX2060 - £260
RX6600 - £245

Thanks. He has tapped up his grandparents for £1200 so he can buy a new one. I'm just trying to fix the 2060 so I can use it.

Only problem I have is CPU without internal graphics. Damn the old me trying to save 30 quid.

Interesting insight on the MB......perhaps a.though I will never know
