I got a new EVGA 1080 FTW the other day and after playing mirrors edge catalyst for an hour, it shut off? kind of. Like the screen went black but the computer still functioned. This has happened every time I play a game for more than an hour.

After the second attempt I put a giant fan against my pc and have it on max, and recorded the following temps for GTA V and Mirrors Edge Catalyst both at 3440x1440 at max settings for about an hour respectively

GTA V -- 50C~54C
Mirrors Edge -- 65C~73C and above.

Any ideas how to further test this to find the issue?

If your card only reached 62C and that was when it crashed, temps are not the problem. Have you checked to see if there is a BIOS update for your mobo? Also, make completely sure that you are removing any trace of the old drivers and update to the most current version.

I have a EVGA GTX 1080 FTW and it runs very stable, often boosting on its own to 2025MHz. Never crashed once. I use Precision X OC and have fan profiles set for <60C/50%, 60C/60%, 70C/70%. My card has not went over 75C even under the heaviest of loads. Typically while gaming it stays around 65C with the 60% fans (which are silent at 60%).

What is the max temp for your card 73C is normal and I wouldn't worry too much about it. Have you overclocked your gpu at all? if so bring it down a little and try again. If you haven't I would uninstall your nvidia drivers and reinstall them.

Here is DDU I would use this in safe mode (it will prompt you when you launch it).

I'm not sure what the temp was when the error happened, but currently the max temp has been somewhere around 73C. I'm going to continue testing after work today, but I'll also try reinstalling the drivers if the problem persists. The general consensus seems to be that someone fucked up the thermal paste or it has a bad heatsink, if so I'll just end up watercooling it probably or stick an assortment of large fans right beside it.

73C is fairly hot, but not unusual for these extremley high performance cards, I don't think that it's your temps that are the problem. People are reporting their cards reaching into the mid 80C. I would definitely uninstall then reinstall drivers and see if the problem persists.

sure seem they get a few threads over at evga forums on this ?? but 73 is well below the throttling threshold temp of like 90c or something ?/

a lot of guys use something like MSI afterburner to set up there own custom fan profiles cause the bios default sucks

best thig to do be sure you registered your card with evga [that's important with them] and check there forum and contact there support .. theres all ways that chance you can get a lemon card , happens to us all some where along the line

example ??

Agreed. Try the drivers, if that doesn't work then contact EVGA. they also have amazing return policies if it comes to that and you shouldn't have to worry too much.

was when you got a NVidia card that did not go above 80c that's was a good cool card

I do thing it could be driver ?? I went to a later driver and got some black screen issue and just went back to my older 355 .xx [gtx980ti]

it got to where now nvidias drivers are making AMD's look good


may check your cable like this hdmi specs for a example see how some may not support the higher resolutions ?

[Version comparison]

so you may need a hdmi 1.4 /2.0 or higher cable check the dvi and display port as well

Okay so I downloaded Nvidia's Precision XOS software and upped the fan rpm to 2700 and changed the fan curve. Ran GTA V for 2 hrs straight and didn't go over 51C. Next is to test more intensive games, but the issue seems to be something with the heating which I suspected.

Incidentally, I have the fan curve set to change drastically at 50C (goes up to 75% from 40%). My question is will such a sudden increase damage the fans or anything over time?

I guess if there not over rpm'ing ? say the fans rated for 2200 rpms and you force it to 3500 rpms ?? as long as it at its max or below rpm range it should be fine ..

thing is these fan deals been going on even with the 900 cards and all that -0- fan and all

you could get 3dmark firestrike bench to test it with

You have some other issue going on if your card is crashing at 63C because that is a great temp for a GPU. I would contact EVGA, they may recommend an RMA.

The cards are all faulty. I also got a EVGA GTX1080 FTW about 15 days ago. I played about 12 hrs of games with it and it started crashing. If you look into the issue, its apparently happening to all these cards. They will RMA you a new card, and it will happen to the same card. I am going to return it and get the ASUS STRIX. Its too bad because this card performs amazing....while its working. I have played more since it happened waiting for my other card to come in and it hasnt happened again but apparently it only gets worse.
