First TDR crash in Witcher 3 on reference 980 Ti. Unstable card?

Not open for further replies.
Today Witcher 3 crashes display driver ( TDR ) when i tried to minimize game ( ALT + TAB ) . And then boom, display driver stopped resonding . Somebody said "I suspect this happens because that is when the card is boosting up in speed from the 2D desktop to 3D game speeds. When this happens the internal voltages are changing with the clock speeds and if they do not occur quick enough then the driver crashes." Maybe this is the reason? If yes so try to RMA card ?

I'll say it again and for the last time, don't RMA that card until the latest drivers are out. The NVIDIA drivers have timing issues and give a much higher chance of crashing + Driver has stopped responding.

Now please just wait
 
Ok i can replicate crashing.
Very often maybe 1 of 30 times, when i alt + tab from Witcher3 to windows and then when i back again to game ( ALT + TAB ) my driver just crashing. On right corner i can see a msg"353.06 stopped responding and has successfully recovered".
thx for suggesting me what to do now.

Yeah, we know, witcher 3 keeps crashing....

Like people have already said on here, its a known problem with the current driver.

I know, why don't you play a different game, till this gets sorted?
 
Don't bother replying to him, he doesn't give a ........ what we think as he just keeps repeating himself over and over again. How ever many times we advise him to wait and it's the drivers

Also going by his writing style, I don't believe he is even English
 
Ok listen. I dont have any crash while gaming. Only ( Very often maybe 1 of 30 times ) when i alt + tab from Witcher3 to windows and then when i back again to game ( ALT + TAB ) my driver just crashing. On right corner i can see a msg"353.06 stopped responding and has successfully recovered".
Is this a driver issue or my card?

I think everyone is certain, including Nvidia now, that here is an issue with the voltage/power control.

This is why turning of the frame limiter and setting control panel to maximum performance has alleviated things for me. It would only crash after a transition (from loading to the game or menu to the game) because the card was going from about 3% power draw to 90-100% and I think occasionally the voltage hadn't increased quick enough , therefore causing a crash.

With the control panel setting at maximum performance the power draw never goes below 40% and the core doesn't go below 1190mhz even in the menus so there is less of a jump in power and voltage when transition between the game world and menus.

So this is normal or my card is faulty or its a driver issue?
 
No the card is broken...send it back as soon as possible!!!!

I think thats what he wants to hear as hes asked the same question 5 or 6 times now and hes paying no attention the the same answer we keep giving him

The problem is I'm not sure who is becoming more annoying, the poster or those that keep helping him after being told he just a waste of time to talk to

Or the poster is a troll!
 
No because Jono8 said:"I think everyone is certain, including Nvidia now, that here is an issue with the voltage/power control.

And he mean that my card is faulty or its a driver issue ? ( and on next card problem will be the same )

It's just the drivers, until Nvidia get it sorted you'll have issues just like the rest of us.

The answer wont change the more times you ask the same question :p

Seriously though,its drivers. Ive had it a few times on my Titan

Don't worry it's just the drivers at the moment are broken. Nvidia are going to release a hotfix driver soon for the TDR problem. Your hardware is fine.

Tried to avoid quoting one person more than once, but it's a fairly clear answer.
