Haven't tried memory, I can downclock that by 500, also I have been running Planetside 2 for 30 minutes now although it felt like it was going to crash but it didn't
Check how warm the backplate is getting to touch (it should be barely warm to the touch at idle and only as warm as say a cup of tea thats been left cooling a few minute when gaming) - I've seen a couple of instances now with the GHZ editions where while the core was cooling fine some other part of the card (probably VRMs) wasn't cooling properly and its heat was being transferred to the backplate instead causing the backplate to get very hot and the card to eventually crash. Seems theres a small number of those cards where the heatsink isn't sitting properly.
Do you still have your old HD with OS intact?
You could test on the previous OS, to rule out any software/system drivers and your new SSD-if it's faulty you would get CTD's as it isn't always the gpu that causes the ctd's.
Same problem has a guy here in germany, he solved it with downclock.
For some Games those clocks arent stable...
But you tried that already, so imho you will have to RMA it, but i wish you good luck, maybe you can solve this, so i can tell the guy here how to solve it maybe.

Yesterday I tried BF4 and Metro on another HDD still got the same problem, right now I am playing with downlocks, -10 Core and -50 Memory seems to work still testing.
Sounds like the same issue i had with my card. Everything ran fine with me but it seemed the factory overlocked was not stable. Quite a few guys have experienced this with the Gigabyte cards. Long story short, they had to RMA to get them to replace the components on the cards to fix it. Page 30 onwards pretty much covers it.

Agreed and looking around, there seems to be many issues reporting the same. Strangely enough, I had a 560Ti OC that did the same and Gigabyte released a BIOS that upped the core voltage a fraction and that was enough to cure it. I am not sure if they can do the same with the 780Ti in truth.
Somebody already tried that and mentioned it doesn't work. What engineer notes had touched on was physically replacing chips on the card.
Been reading another forum and it the same. Fortunately they had a Gigabyte rep on hand to log cases for them.
I am so surprised Gigabyte have not given some sort of formal statement as there many threads even on the Gigabyte community forum and not a peep from them.
Surely they want to reassure their customers and protect their brand name.
