If you came here with that big of a chip on your shoulder already, it sounds as if you are the moron.  You come here asking for help, and people ask you for specs, which you don't post.  Then you claim you're an expert and then bad mouth the product even more.  No one can help you if you're not even willing to post specs of any sort or at least have some sort of semi-intelligent discussion.  I've had experience with cards before Nvidia even existed and have been building computers for 20 years, but that doesn't mean I'm an expert on anything.  What having lots of returns tells me is that lots of people buy these high-end cards to run in sub-par systems (low power/not enough quality cooling) expecting optimal performance.  When the cards don't perform as expected, they immediately cry foul and blame the cards.  As stated by someone else, you only ever hear about that one problem card per several hundred that are sold.  Many card returns I have read about, even on this forum, are simply sent back because they didn't reach an expected OC amount, which is ludicrous to me, but to some sales rep, a return is a return, whether the card was defective or not.  If Newegg is really experiencing THAT many returns, maybe Newegg is doing something wrong or their shipping carriers are damaging the cards during shipment.  UPS isn't known for its quality of service anymore...
 
I do agree there are some on this forum that claim a WB is the cure for all issues, but there are others that are (or were in your case) willing to help you, but I doubt that is the true anymore after your last comment.

this is awesome considering I use fedex first class air.
neweggg is a distributor, they only store and ship the cards
 
evga is the manufacturer and designer, all qc issues come down to them, especially concerning the packaging that these things are shipped in
 
any card with a problem from mfg / qc stays the same, the quantity of " shipping damaged " cards is miniscule
 
quit being ignorant and protecting evga's image with complete and total nonsense reasoning " shipping damage " ok dude, you tell yourself that, evga employee trying to save face? or what?

You're the one that needs to quit being ignorant here.  Newegg has a history of shipping out damaged goods, especially with video cards and motherboards.  Just read their customer feedback and you'll get an idea of many, many people having to RMA a single product 3 or 4 times to get a good item, no matter the manufacturer.  If a distributer's warehouse doesn't have a properly controlled environment, then you have problems with some of the more sensitive equipment that you get from said supplier, especially video cards/motherboards.  I've ordered around 20 motherboards of differing brands from Newegg over the past 10 years, and every other motherboard had problems and needed to be RMA'd, even though each one had an undamaged box and looked brand new.  I've ordered over twice that amount from TigerDirect over the same amount of time, and guess what, only one had to be returned, and that was UPS's fault for damaging the item during shipment, not Tiger's.

^^^^ Guess we can assume its one of his high end gaming PC's.....hope its not built for a customer ;)
 
Anyhow, for whats it worth (not so much for the OP but for others that may stumble on this Thread), if I begin to experience "nv display driver stopped responding but recovered" error, CTD or BSOD or Lock-ups, the first thing I generally tweak is my GPU OC's....if that deosnt solve it likely my CPU OC's (we all know that a CPU OC setting can degrade and become less stable as time goes on, particularly with the amount of vcore.
 
Another option is try a clean install of GPU Drivers, but typically the errors turn out to be either GPU or CPU OC's that require further tweaking....I sometimes wonder just how many "unnecessary" RMA's of GPU's there are ;)
 
Lovin my 780Ti's, particulalry after introducing them to Mr EKWB ;)
 
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3930K Processor,ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. RAMPAGE IV EXTREME

what does coming in here and posting gpu bench results have anything to do with my topic?
 
**** troll.
 
my card is locking up on stock boosts, NO OC.
 
can you not read or are you to ignorant?

I haven't oced the card since the 5th, that driver crash was while benching
 
the rest have been while browsing the web or gaming on stock clocks and where the gpu clocks itself too ( 1163 with or without k boost )
 
I have reinstalled the drivers countless times trying from 332.21-337.88 , both using DDU and without ddu,
I've done one fresh os install
I've reset the gpu bios by doing a complete power down and power drain
I've tried with px and without px...
I have tried with oc's and without oc's....
I have 4 days left to return this card so i'm desperately trying to solve this issue
 
my psu is good and has 42a on the 12v rail, i've never had a crash or sys error otherwise,
i primed my system on the 16th of june for 12 hours, i did memtest for 8 hours on the 15th of june
 
i've owned a 660, 660ti sli, 670 4g 680 4g and a 780 before ( i buy and sell cards to friends / clients as i go ) and NEVER have any anything near this amount of crashes
 
 
guys I'm not trying to get stuck with a $759 problem after returning one card for the acx cooler rattle, this is my 2nd 780ti classy mind you.
 
evga has ignored my 2 emails and pm's to evga jacob on oc.net so far........

A AX1200i doesn't have 42 amps on the 12v it has 100 amps.

after restarting px
 
like i said no oc no voltage applied, just browsing fb with k boost on , this is where the card clocks itself too k boost or not 1163 is it's " stock boost "
 

 
 
it's done this like 10x now
 
not to mention the random driver crashes while NOT gaming just on fb or whatever.

set it to stock, anotherwards not using k boost. using k boost is not setting to defaul
k boost locks the card at the boost clock spd
