Hi there,
Witnessing a strange issue with my 980ti. It started yesterday seemingly out of the blue.
It does Internet browsing, Youtube, etc just fine, but will shut off the displays and require a hard reset when put under more strenuous conditions such as games like Outer Worlds or Deep Rock Galactic.
I tried a few tests on the 980ti. FurMark didn't cause any issues, but I know that's not the best way to test it, so I tried 3D Mark. 3D Mark caused the display shut off + hard reset requirement.
Hoping it was maybe the PSU, we put the 980ti into a separate system (we'll call that System B). The crashes could be replicated in the System B.
System B uses a 1080ti. We put that in the original system, which handled the 1080ti fine. No problems whatsoever. No crashes during Outer Worlds test, etc.
Because of this, I'm pretty positive something is wrong with the 980ti then somehow, somewhere.
Do I have any options available to me to try to make the card last till the 3080 releases? I'd really like to delay upgrading since the new cards are right around the bend.
Last couple notes:
1. Warranty is already past or I'd just RMA the dang thing
2. Temps on the GPU seemed fine, so I don't think reseating the heatsink would make a difference, for example, but I'm considering going through the trouble... I wanted to just compare notes with folks before I start trying anything. I'm hoping maybe I can just roll back some drivers and have a hallelujah since this problem came out of the blue
