EVGA 1080TI FTW3 Crashing & Failing Stress Tests

[Kuuwahi]

Hi,

Intel 3930k
16GB RAM
EVGA FTW3 1080Ti
NVIDIA Driver 397.64

Up until 2 days ago my GPU has been flawless. I was trying Rainbow Six Siege and the game crashed to desktop 4 times within an hour.

I assumed this could be something with the game, that was until I tried playing Euro Truck Simulator 2.

The game started to play fine until it started to crash to freeze then crashing to desktop.

I thought something could be conflicting so I formatted my Computer and gave ETS2 ago again, It was working briefly but I noticed the graphics settings were set the lowest possible. I changed them to ultra, which shouldn't bother the 1080Ti, and it crashed again, and multiple times after.

I ran SuperPosition stress test multiple times with lower memory clock, Debug Mode on (NVIDIA CP), All of which either failed after 1 minute or crashed the PC.

The temps never got above 70°C on the GPU.

Here are some images of the crashes

So I'm wondering if anyone can throw me some advice.

i would wipe the pc and install the latest version of windows 10 (windows download then usb) takes a few hours to do it but it will 100% check you have no conflicting programs or files or drivers.

Tried a complete install using DDU and no change.

I just ran the same tests with my 680 from another rig and had no issues.

Just tested the 1080Ti in that other Rig and it Failed in Super Position.

Don't touch the BIOS, get it RMA'd.

Don't worry, I had no plans to do so

Just spoke to OcUK, RMA Sorted, off it goes today. At least I have my trusty EVGA 680 to keep me somewhat sane

OcUK Received my GPU on the 21st May and confirmed it was sent to EVGA on 22nd May. Not overly thrilled about OCuk's 28 Working day's policy. as this would mean I could be out of a GPU until 29th June.

Not heard anything back from OcUK either, other than the "we will let you know when we hear something".

Even then if I don't get a replacement I could be given a refund which would result in no GPU and not enough money to purchase the same GPU I had due to the increase in price.

What is your PSU?

Corsair AX1200, Why you ask ?

You didn't mention it in your specs post, a lack of power can cause crashes too!

Ah right, I have had it since May 2017 and this problem has only just arose. Along with trying it in another PC and then OcUK sending it back to EVGA could pretty much confirm it's the GPU at fault
