***GTX 780 Ti Owners Thread***

- Start date
Had an e-mail from OcUK HQ to confirm that my card has been sent to Gigabyte for repair/replacement, so looks as thought it failed their testing process. Good to know for sure that it was the cause of the issues I've been having recently.
Now here's hoping the replacement card I get back fairs better and lasts a lot longer than the first.

Got my Gigabyte 780Ti back. Only took 4 days, dropped it off last friday to OcHQ and got it back at 9:30am yesterday. New one is running fine now, I got sent a fully tested one this time

I've just bypassed OC and RMA'd direct to Gigabyte.
I bought a second hand version1 780ti oc Windforce which artifacts on all benchmarks and a problems in some games as well. I did only pay £365. So I've taken a bit of a punt in the hope that I will get mine repaired or a new replacement.

Thats what my old one was doing, artifacts on the Skydiver benchmark and the "driver stopped responding" error when under high load.

ditto
Also on the 3d Mark 11 demo

3D Mark 11 artifacts for me, flashing colours/bands/triangles/jagged lines... you name it, it happens
Skydiver is intermittently good/bad, and usually locks up as she flies through the waterfall.
Some games give weird artifacts, such as water in Project Cars displays black blocks. Most games run ok though, so i hope they find it faulty and replace my v1 with a new card.
I only paid £365 so i'm taking a punt that i can get a good replacement.

I just benched mine with Ungine Heaven benchmark 4 and it worked fine. No Artifacting or problems. It certainly gave it a good workout. 
Bit more relieved now.
Do you think i need to run other bench programs or would this test be more than enough to tell me if it was stable or not?
Still got a issue with BF4 crashing with DX error but i think that to do with drivers more than anything else. All other games and stuff are fine.

Sounds fine to me. BF4 is a bugfest of a game so dont worry about that.I just benched mine with Ungine Heaven benchmark 4 and it worked fine. No Artifacting or problems. It certainly gave it a good workout.

Phew Thanks - just a bit concerned about reading all the other chaps having issues. Might download the Sky Diver one later, it 1.5 GB so probably leave it for the weekend.
Cheers
Sorry - one other thing how can i tell if my cards v1 etc?

Heaven ran fine on my dodgy card you need to run one of the above that we have been mentioning that produced artefacts. Dead giveaway is the skydiver benchmark and 3dmark 11 demo
What he said.
My card was fine in some games and ran some benchmarks (the most demanding in fact) fine. But other games and benchmarks showed up the problems without fail.
You may well have a good card, but make sure you test in heavily before the warranty runs out.
Well i am not sure what i should do?
* Ran 3D Mark 11 - there was some slight artifacting ie occassional flash of odd colours which didnt happen very frequently. It never crashed or stopped.
* Ran 3D Mark Fire Starter - Ran through no problems at all, No Artifacting or slow down or any problems. It even finished and gave me a good score.
* Ran 3D Mark Sky Diver - This ran right through until the end and it crashed my system? It did have a very slight artifacting/tearing until it did.
One thing that really helped was removing MSI Afternburner and going with latest 340 drivers i think. Going to give it a good test on games tonight? If it is ok I might leave it perhaps? Or is that crazy talk and most would go for RMA as this shouldnt happen??

Not going to take any chances, going to RMA with Gigabyte directly because i bought this 2nd hand.
Grale did you get anywhere with your card. I see their rma, you have to request RMA number and fill in their form and produce proof of purchase? No problems i take it with being the 2nd owner as long as you have the original receipt?. Would have trusted you message rather than post here but both you and Flack88 dont have trust enabled.
Thanks

Sky Dive has driver issues. Can you play games without problems or more to the point where outside of SkyDive have you had issues?
340 beta driver is trash for me. Locked my system up everytime I've tied to use it. Latest officials no problems at all.
Can you maybe film 3dmark 11 on your phone so we can see what it is doing?
Kyo i have sent my card directly back to Gigabyte. As you say, just fill in the form and supply proof of purchase, i took a photo of the original receipt and attached that to my email.
They have received my card but i am waiting for a status update.
I did try OC first as that's where the card was bought. I gave them the invoice number but it did not match they're records. They said i would have to call back to a different department, it took so long i gave up and went to Gigabyte. They have been faultless so far.
What's this trusted message?
My games are all fine and its not crashing or artefacting at all ingame. However tried a few more 3D Mark tests and while some are ok other are not. Lost confidence in the card so returning it one way or another. Not happy at all
Thanks for replying so quickly, decided to get in contact with the seller and get sort it with them. Most likely will get a refund now
which is not what i wanted.Trust is the bottom right of your messages. It a system mainly used for ocuk Mass market. It also can provide private messages between people. Your one is not set because you havent used it before. It is pretty handy.
Cheers
Edit - can u please let us know how u get on ta

It hasn't been buggy for me so far to be honest, people exaggerate it so much
