Hey,

I flash GTX 680s for Mac compatibility. I’ve flashed dozens of them. I snagged a deal on a genuine EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition. I bought it, but it doesn’t work. I get this weird green screen when I turn it on and a purple screen while booting. It boots 75% of the way and then it reboots. Does anyone know what this is?

Thank you!

If that's a genuine GTX680 Mac Edition card, but not a bad flash card, then most likely the card itself is damaged / failing
that is what i figured. I got a full refund and I get to keep it. I don’t know how to disassemble graphics cards but I guess i’ll see what I can do to fix if
