***GTX 780 Ti Owners Thread***

Well I think my Gigabyte Ghz edition is faulty. I've been having issues with windows TDR/nvlddmkm event 14 errors in when playing certain games over the past couple of months.

It started out happening once in a while and now it is happens within 10 or 20 mins of starting one game. Seems older DX9 stuff that doesn't use the GPU as efficiently as newer titles suffer the most. Which sucks as my most played game is such a game.

I've done every bit of fault finding I can think of, hardware and USB devices disconnects and swapped out to check for errors there, CPU overclock taken off, extra case fans and higher speed fan profile on the GPU to rule out overheating (even though temps were ok). I've reinstalled Windows 8.1 in case there was an error there and even tried rolling back to Win 7 for a while to see if there was an issue with Win 8.1, there wasn't.

It's really one of those weird head scratching type issues. Everything will be fine and then suddenly FPS drops to essentially zero (seriously like watching slide show of screen shots, with one frame every 20 seconds or so), while sound continues as normal. And then when I manage to exit the game the issue continues in windows until I reboot the system.

I've had EVGA Precision running on the second monitor while playing and temps really are fine (mid 60's with the more agressive fan profile), everything looks ok up until the issue occurs and then Precision shows the fan speed and GPU power dropping to 0%, even though the fans are clearly still running at the same speed.

Unless any of you guys have any more ideas, I'm calling faulty card. Although I have to say I'm worried OcUK will test it as fine and send it back if I RMA it because there are no issues when I run 3DMark tests or even newer DX 11 games. But I guess I'll just have to see what happens.

Surely that's a driver/OS problem?

:confused:

As I said, 2 windows 8.1 installs, one windows 7 install, and countless installs of all available drivers in each OS install and the same issue persists.

So I'm curious how it could possibly be a driver issue? I now have he old 570 in and everything is fine, system is solid as a rock again.

Eddie was it a brand new one or a B Grade one ? One thing People did do was underclock their cards to see if the clocks were unstable or not at stock

Brand new back in February. It's been working great up until a month or so ago and then started with these issues.

I've tried down clocking it as much as I can and it makes no difference.
 
hi guys any courier recommendations for sending a graphics card back to overclockers,
Ive checked parcel to go and they want £20 just to cover insurance, parcel monkey comes in at £16 :( surely I can get a cheaper option?
