my gpu won’t show up in task manager

[unique swan]

My gpu is plugged in but won’t show up in task manager at all

[half raft]

how do you see task manager if the gpu isn't working???

[balmy siren]

You need to install drivers for it. Windows basic display adapter will allow you to use the gpu to display, but nothing else

[unique swan]

Wym

[charred spoke]

The graphics card is no longer good its done dead killed go replace it rma it if you can

[unique swan]

Rma?

[unique swan]

So it’s just useless?

[charred spoke]

yep

Its a paper weight

[unique swan]

I have no clue what these terms mean

[unique swan]

Do I just take it out of my pc then?

[charred spoke]

yep

[unique swan]

Well fuck

[balmy siren]

Means that it’s dead, non functional, useless.

The term “paperweight” is usually given to an expensive(ish) item that is rendered useless because of a defect or because it broke

[unique swan]

FUCK TEMU

This is gay

I mean I should’ve expected it from them

Alr thanks guys

[unique swan]

How do I dispose of it properly

[balmy siren]

Take it to any electronics recycler

[balmy siren]

Temu has a total of like 3 roses among the field of thorns that is their website

[unique swan]

Yeah

I mean I got it for free

So it doesn’t really matter

[charred spoke]

I mean I wouldn't buy anything from temu 😄

personally

[half raft]

are you sure that it is dead dead?

it is shown in the bios

this is from microsoft.com

[charred spoke]

Yes

Because if the driver doesn't reinstall itself and stick

then its definitely a hardware issue

[half raft]

ok
