I thought my GPU O/C was stable

Really struggling using Crysis 3 as a stability benchmark, Ive played around with no end of settings and I cant get my O/C stable.
In the end I thought it might be my new RMA card I just recieved so Ive taken off all my O/C's and put the card back to standard and still the game crashes after around 2 minutes of playing. This time an error popped up instead of my system rebooting.

DXGI ERROR DEVICE REMOVED

Wonder if its actually Crysis where the problem is now or my drivers.
Running Crysis 1.3 and 13.6 drivers
 
Hmm, people on Crytek forums have concluded it's an unstable GPU OC problem. You could be unstable at stock... it's unlikely but vaguely possible. Try cleanly uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, and once again test at stock.

Temps are OK? Try reinstalling drivers cleanly. It also might be worth testing each card individually. I participated in Cry3 beta with my HD 7950 and was perfectly stable so that's as much as I can tell on that game, but yeah the mycrisis forum peeps seem to be thinking that you particular error is the result of an unstable OC. You could also try underclocking to see whether you really do have weak overclockers, if it comes to that.

This is probably happening because your CPU is warming up in games and that is causing the GPU temp to get higher than it does in Heaven.
 
Installed 13.4's and no difference.
Temps are high but not bad, they peak around 80-85c.

Surely I should be able to run the game with standard O/C's.

Battlefield 3 is also stable with 1125/[email protected] so is Company of Heroes 2

Just going to try Metro Last Light benchmark maxed see if that makes it choke
 
Idk if it's possible to say to a certainty that there is any such thing as a "standard O/C". As I say just for troubleshooting purposes it might be a good idea to try 1. underclocks and 2. testing each card separately.
 
Now going to try underclocking (ffs)

Just to recap, 1125/[email protected] stable in the following (maxed)
Heaven
3DMark
Company of heroes 2
Battlefield 3
Metro LL Benchmark (2 loops)
Furmark

But Crysis 3 still cripples it 90% of the time with BSOD after 2 mins of gameplay.
 
Ok now underclocked 850/1300 stock volts and got a freeze this time so still unstable.....what can this now mean? Its got to be the game surely, if it was a faulty card it wouldnt run all the over games?....

I believe your having the same problems i had when trying to overclock my GTX 770 Palit JetStream, i got this every time i ran an oc more frequently at higher clocks. Then when i reverted to stock clocks it still happened, it was caused by a mix of issues with Metro Last light and the drivers i was using, It ran stable on benchmarks but just hated games, i would suggest updating your drivers if you can to a beta version, try running it stock as if its bsoding then you have reached the stable limit im afraid
 
Your having the same problem i did when i tried overclocking my GTX 770 JetStream, i got bsod every time i ran Metro LL but when i ran the Metro LL benchmark it was fine, your oc was stable for benchmarks but not for games which means sadly you need to update/revert your drivers and keep it stock or oc it slightly, the bsoding is because you reached your limit on the card

You considered that maybe your cpu/ memory settings aren't stable in that particular game?
 
This keep getting better, fine on 2nd GPU as well so its not the hardware.

So its either down to a CF problem, or my PSU isnt strong enough???

Cant be anything else can it?
 
try with stock everything - cpu, memory and cards.
Could just be the combination of the lot causing the crashes, even if its stable in everything else might as well do a stock run to rule it out.

I must admit the drivers was a long shot, nvidias drivers are awful and a lot of people had my problem but it did fix it, install drivers from disc then install from online that is worth a shot mate! To me it seems like and issur that has been caused by you trying to oc, as is the case with bsod. Its a shame your card should be fine ocing
 
Ok another update of my findings, sorry dont mean to spam my own thread.

Tried each GPU on its own with no crashes and overclocked CPU, all was fine.

Just tried everything at stock including CPU and all was fine.

Even O/C GPU's and kept CPU stock and all was fine.

So its pointing to either a unstable CPU O/C which I'm just about to retest as I havent in months

or

My Computer is pulling to much power and my PSU cant cope O/Ced CPU and GPUS take it over the edge (PSU is TX750W).

What you reakon?
