I'm on a new EVGA 3080 Ti FTW3 Ultra, i7 12700k, 32gb DDR5, 1000w PSU, Windows 11 and all drivers up to date. I DDU'd the graphics driver and reinstalled it as well. Yesterday I undervolted the GPU to 1950 @ 925 mV and ran Heaven benchmark and Timespy DX12 a few times each which all worked with no issues.
Come today I try to run 3dmark again and it just crashes the test, cleanly closing the benchmark with no artifacts or glitches. It also did this for some games and the factory default settings have the same issue. After a reboot, I tried lowering the clock today to 1925 @ 925 mV and tested Timespy again. I completed it 3 times with no issues at all so I thought it was stable, but a few hours later 2 games crashed (Deeprock Galactic and Elite Dangerous) in the same way by just closing instantly. I tried 3dmark after this and it's having the same issue despite working perfectly fine at these settings earlier in the day.
I'm not sure why it's stable and then later on it breaks. My temperatures are all good and nothing is overheating in the system. But the weird thing is other resource heavy games like Total War: Warhammer 3 don't crash specifically with the undervolt, even directly after 3dmark/other game crashes. So I'm having trouble figuring out if it's software or hardware related. Do you have any ideas?
