either im doing something different to whatall the help / videos online show or i lost the lottery big time haha.
i cant oc even the smallest ammount with out issues arising from crashes or heaven flipping the hell out.
any suggestions? i own the FE gtx 1080.
post more info. OS | Driver | Clean Install? | Games used?
Up the power limit
are you using the new precision X OC app from EVGA? It makes overclocking very easy and fool proof (not saying you're a fool, just that it simplifies it a ton)
what mhz offset have you tried? power limit? voltage changes?
What's it boosting up to in games?
EDIT: What were your previous GPUs? What's your PSU?
sounds like you have a defective GPU I would RMA that right quick and get a working one
If it works w/o OC... Might not get an RMA
sort of a clean install its only 3 weeks old. but i update and never had a regstry issue resulting in a failed boot.

ive had it between 1 and 120% no difference same for temp max at 92c
1.ive used both EVGA precision x 16 [ since i have a gigabyte card cant use auto clock with X OC] and after burner
2. ive gone from 50 mhz clock [ stable ] up to 200 [ stable ] but still can crash after a while etc.
voltage ive gone from 5+ to 75+ no stability
3. boosting to in games with stock is about 1890mhz or around that.
4, previous gpus are shit um. gt 250, 5770, gtx 680, gtx 870 and 980 [ these 2 are on gaming laptops ] and now the 1080 FE from gigabyte.
5. PSU is the cx 750M but its a white lable not the green lable and the box is yellow so i think its the revised one.
yea im thinking that but since gigabyte just sends u back to the retailer u cant RMA directly to gigabyte so idiot technicians who cant replicate any issues will just go "blah not my problem" and decline the request [ had this happen at the same store ]
without OC this thing is fine, mayby a coil whine once and a while only when crysis 2 logo and title screen are up then goes away
MSI afterburner and MSI beta afterburner as well as EVGA precision X 16.
im seeing at stock around 1860mhz with 5000 memory but if i oc that can be different again obviuosly.
I have had it start to act up real wierd like stuttering and micro freezing on heaven and my V and temps drop massively only on over clocked specs, only at 68c or so. BUT this does not happen with 200 core and 300 Mem at 65% Voltage on crysis 3 for 1 hour as that hits 85c with a agressive Fan profile after 70c
Is probably fine with boost.
My 1070 gets 1928mhz with boost (seems it just pushes to limit). If I try to overclock to 2000mhz it crashes the computer pretty hard so I let it boost by itself. I have had odd crashes now and again without any overclock so I'm going to assume its the boost clock pushing too hard at times.
These new GPU's from NVIDIA are just not very overclock-able, in saying that AMD's previous generation (not Polaris) could barely handle a 20-30mhz overclock without crashing so I wouldn't be crying about it.
yea, i understand :).
i just wanted to get the most from my 1200$ gpu since ive pushed my ram and cpu to the limit in the dream of speed and ever % of performance for each 1$ i spent haha
Nobody guarantees you any OC what so ever. People still count on that. I love when people count on that.
My CPU don't like running out of spec at all. People easily reach 800MHz OC. My GPU don't like running out of spec. 5MHz OC on my GPU - instability.
There is absolutely no guarantee at all. Not to mention "It does not OC" is not a valid complaint for RMA...
well i don't count on that, and im aware sometimes you can't get any oc out of it.
although i have been able to run 2 days of 175 / 175 [ core and mem ] but dropped it as i didnt think that was correct,
I'll wait to see what the 1080Ti can do, really what I want is Fallout 4 at 4k with high-ultra settings, @ 60fps. Atm the best a 1080 can do is 42fps, I'm going to guess a Ti will achieve 50fps but you never know maybe it will be better.
If not then I will wait and see, I could just get another 1070 and SLI this rig, probably should have bought a 980Ti and SLI that. The only 'major' issue with MultiGPU configurations is they generally don't work well under Linux which is rather unfortunate. There are other issues also, but it seems those are slowly going away as games/drivers get patched up better.
RMA tell them gpu is unstable when playing games, sometimes driver crashes etc... don't mention its when you oc.
yea i own a 4k display and a 1080 and its not the best performance but considering the fact 4k is such a big system hogger i can understand.
defo gonna see what this "nvidia" event was in london when @Logan posts about his trip i guess haha
Idle and load temps?
Yeah this is the way to go, if a part does not overclock at all it is likely unstable at stock speeds as well which seems to be the case.
Not good to hear tbh
The normal temps at stock and a bit hotter at load
Also at stock I'm stable I have no issues and can run every benchmark and stress test I have and play 4k and 1440p
If u have any names for a really stressful test let me know
I like to run haven or valley they are not the most stressful out there EVGA has software that really pushes video cards like crazy its called OC Scanner they have some really good burn tests. If the card is passing gaming at 4k I hate to say it but whatever you are getting on the boost clock could be it I don't think stress testing it will get a crash rather it will just throttle back the boost clocks. as a point did you raise the fan speed to 100% and check and see if the boost clock increased/ tryed OCing the card it is possible the reference cooler is what the problem is.
