Question gpu keeps on crashing EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC Black Edition

[Afro_ninja199]

not that long ago i upgraded my 1080 to a 1080 ti,

problem is that it crashes while gaming, i have stopped it crashing by under clocking it by -30 on msi after burner, do any one know what would be causing this?
when i got the ti i got rid of the old drivers and reinstalled the drivers again

should i be able to over clock the GPU or even run it with no under clock???

if its running no under clock ill be able to game for 2 - 3 minutes

temps are fine, GPU hits max of 70 and sitting around 60c while gaming, CPU is overclocked to 4.9 ( at 1.26v ) but this was happening before i overclocked the cpu, mainly play destiny 2 fortnite and borderlands 3,

any help would be appreciated

cheers guys

Did you try uninstalling your GPU driver safely with DDU?
I had similar issues with my GTX 980ti, uninstalling the driver with DDU and installing the latest game ready driver.
Try updating your windows.

Did you buy the 1080 Ti new or used?

Also what model was the 1080 non Ti?

 

[Afro_ninja199]

Used, still have a year left on the card, and old card was a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 G1 Gaming Graphics Card

Your old card uses only 1x 8 pin power connector, is that the same as you use on the new one? Or did you add a 6 pin also?

If you did not, please do connect another 6 pin connector to it. Put it back to normal clocks and try a game again.

When it crashes, is it the game it self, does the computer just reboot, do you get a bsod?

Try to check the even viewer if you can see what caused the crash.

Never had this error before, so i hope someone can add to this.

Btw, is there a spesific game or just all games in general?

all games, now that i have underclocked it -430 it wont crash, but seems kind of silly id have to underclock a gpu lol
