The GTX 980 Ti owners thread.

Bit of an odd one, was playing battlefront and suddenly noticed my gpu fans ramp up to 100% for a few seconds then spin back down, about a minute or so later the same thing, screen goes grey and the monitor shuts off, had to reboot. Hadn't loaded up afterburner so wasn't running any overclocks.

Just seemed like the fans hadn't kicked in at all and the card was running passively til it got too hot. :confused:

I'm not sure what the issue is, or if my suggestion will help but...

I don't use the default fan profile as I don't like the idea of the fans not running at all. I set a profile up so that the fans spin at around 30% when idle, this keeps idle temps down and I find actually keeps overall temps down a little as there's no hot air just sitting around my card.

I generally do have the zero db gimmick turned of as its just that, a gimmick the fans spin so slow at idle you can't hear them anyway. I've had this happen before where the card fans suddenly spun up, one time i got to the desktop and loaded afterburner and the gpu was hitting 93c :eek: . Not really sure what happened it was like the card just decided not to spin the fans.

Just gonna keep afterburner on while gaming so i can keep tabs on it :)
 
So about my card hitting 80c and above which was causing the artifacts. I use Precision X and on my 780ti's I would always max out the power and temp throttle option. Well doing this on the 980ti's isn't really worth while since these buggers are beasts and it was also causing my temps to ramp up. Now it's much better, only maxing at around 66c on the top card so thankfully all is good again.

Appreciate the help guys!

Glad it seems to have resolved it for you :)
 
So, an update.

My PC just hung again but the drivers didn't crash. Having said that it's obviously not an issue with the GPU or the overclock.

Seems to happen when I have Folding running and I run a virus scan of my PC, they obviously don't like each other. Lesson learned.
 
I pulled out my card just for you. ;)
It's not 100% perfect due to it being difficult to hold the measuring tape and take a photo but I hope it gives you an idea on how think the card is.
Damn MrZippo, I wish I'd seen mechacrash's post earlier I could have saved you the trouble.
I would've just had to pull my card out of its box to measure it.
Not got the rest of the PC to put it in yet as most of the parts I picked didn't appear in any sales or were cheaper before.
So far just got the 980 Ti and a 5930K which makes me smile when I think about how cheap I got it. :D

It's no problem as it just takes about 5 mins to take out and another 5 mins to put it back.

Nice PC parts you got there. What other parts are you looking to get?

Thanks for being so helpful anyway.
The other main parts I was hoping to pick up in the sales were an MSI X99A Gaming 7 motherboard, Fractal Design R5 case, Benq BL3200PT QHD monitor and was going to buy a Samsung SM951 M.2 SSD but the 950 Pro seems to be coming down in price now.

After seeing all the prices go back up again does anyone else wish they’d bought 2 (well, apart from those jammy gits who actually did buy 2)? :D
 
Had these turn up today :)
