whew, folks ...
the thirst is real
also - i'm pretty sure those recent hours for Hunt are 100% on BlindRhythm
My PC just shut itself down in the middle of a game and now it doesn't recognize my GPU anymore
I hope the magical trick of plugging it out and back in will solve this

its probably dead, I had something similar happen to me back in October, the card died and considering the problems I had at the moment I really wanted to end my life considering how dire things were...My PC just shut itself down in the middle of a game and now it doesn't recognize my GPU anymore

I agree. The GPU probably overheated, it is summer after all. Was there any smell of burnt plastic?
As an update on the self-awarding:
It seems like Valve already fixed it.

Oh no, not that one. I had the same card dying on me too.
(I wasn't treating it nicely with overclocks though).
They have fans, but dust can come inside. At least, that is how I explained it to myself when my GPU stopped working.
Be honest: is it full of dust?
i politely refuse to truthfully answer this question
I was thinking this was the reason why they maybe extended the points shop to all the card\badge rewards, because Apple is getting sued because of gambling laws in California likely extending to microtransaction lootboxes for mobile games and issues in The Netherlands, South Korea and other countries becoming more of an issue?
Oof. Liferaft is not the place to be.
Couple of quick ideas
1) The 'unidentified device' check if the Hardware IDs match up with Nvidia as the vendor and that is shows up as a PCI device
2) Move card to another PCIe slot
3) Test back up GPU in slot
The other ideas, like safe mode or driver reinstall, probably won't work unless windows has an idea of where the device is and who made it.
Uninstalled them, whenever i try to reinstall i get the message that it cant find a compatible device
Yea turns out the GPU isn't the unknown device but some useless intel technology
There you go

Looking up my bios it says the pcie slot is empty... i fear for the worst
Mfw 970 is considered a relic from dark ages now
Ampere can't come soon enough.

Long shot but have you got any other PCIe slots/cables for your PSU you could try?
OP
That card still remembers the historic 3.5 GB VRAM scandal, it has seen games like Batman Arkham Knight destroy PCs, witnessed the release of Witcher 3 and its use of GameWorks effects.
It came out in 2014, that's almost 50 years in GPU years. I don't want to lessen your grief. It's important that you give yourself some time with this, maybe take a week off, spend some time with your family and loves ones.
But ultimately I think you should just accept that your GPU has had a long and plentiful life, and try to move on. That's what your 970 would have wanted, too.
You all are giving the 970 too much of a tough time. That thing was awesome when it came out, huge jump in performance from 700 series for a fair price. Last superior overclocking cards as well. I was in love back then.
Is this a DLC for the first game?
Is this a DLC for the first game?Long live the GTX 970!
If your looking for cheep replacement, RX 470s can be had for a song (got mine for $97 shipped in the US).
yup im still rocking the 970 waiting for the new gpusMfw 970 is considered a relic from dark ages now

Hektor Hmmm, if you say it's an Intel device not recognised i'd try to reinstall your motherboard drivers in the hope that it helps.
Do you have another GPU you can try? If that works when in the same slot then i'd say the 970 has shuffled of it's whining mortal coils.
Or do you have another PC you could throw it into to check? Even if it's old.
F in chat.

Assuming my 970 truly has passed what's its contemporary equivalent that's CP77 ready?
I mean, the bright side here is that i was wanting to upgrade close to 21 anyways
Fun fact, my last two major upgrades were for The Witcher 2 and 3

I could try to throw it into an office PC next week, that's all i can think of
OP
I replaced my 960 with a 1660 Super back in January and I've been pretty happy with it. Finally playing Witcher 3 and running it maxed out at 60fps was a wonderful experience. I got it mostly for Cyberpunk but it was so fucking poorly timed. They announced the first delay literally the week after I got it lmao.
If you want ray-tracing, you may be better off waiting for Ampere, though.
I must have some kind of condition because I can't buy anything unless it's at an historic low price, which is being especially problematic in this sale.
Looking through my wishlist and randomly through the store it's incredible how many games retracted on their sales compared to the winter sale last year or some random sales this year. Why do they do this? If your game was 50% off before why are you just reducing it by 30% now? Surelly you'd get more sales at 50%, people enjoy a good sale and aren't stupid to the point they won't notice your proposition now is less interesting than it was 6 months or even a couple weeks ago.

That being said, this will probably be my basket to take advantage of the 5€ off. Anything that I should avoid?
