I got my EVGA GTX 980 SC from Scan UK yesterday as an upgrade to my 16 month old EVGA GTX 780.
I'm very pleased with the overall performance increase of around 25-30% in the games and benchmarks I've ran so far but I've encountered two driver crashes while benchmarking unfortunately ("Driver has stopped responding and recovered" errors) which I never had on my GTX 780 unless I overclocked too far (I used a core offset of +100 MHz and a memory offset of +50 MHz). This SC model has a default core clock of 1,240 MHz according to GPU-Z v0.7.9 but does boost to 1,342-1,367 MHz during benchmarking. I have only been testing on the out of the box settings and have not overclocked anything (even my CPU is running at stock 3.5 GHz). I always do this to ensure everything is stable.
I was using the v344.11 WHQL drivers but I upgraded to the newer v344.16 beta ones yesterday evening. Also, because my PSU is modular I am using two separate 6+2 pin PCI-e leads to my GTX 980, which is how I had it set up for my GTX 780. Each lead does have two 6+2 pin connectors though so should I be using one and both connectors rather than two individual leads? I figured using two would spread the power load. Is that incorrect?
I normally play games with v-sync enabled so I am unlikely to be stressing my card to the extent I have during the benchmarking but I'm a bit concerned at the unstability issues at the moment. My previous GTX 780 has been 100% stable for the last year once I stopped overclocking it too much.
Advice?

Yes, that statement is indeed incorrect as your PSU has only one single 12V rail - and that's perfectly fine! I'm using two GTX 980 SC in SLI without any hiccups. If I were in your situation I'd wipe my SSD, install the OS and drivers and run some stress tests. If this didn't solve the problem I'd simply return the card.

Before you removed your GTX 780 and installed your new GTX 980 did you remove ALL NVIDIA Drivers?
On a Side Note that I have learned to do is delete the two Keys listed below.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\Video
It will error and say it cannot delete the Key, but that is ok as it cannot delete the Key itself nor the Default VGA Driver GUIDs.
What it will delete is all the GUID's for NVIDIA's Drivers. REBOOT After you delete the Keys.
This is the last item that I do before I install a New Video Drivers.

I guess you could always try DDU: hxxp://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html (Can't wait until I can post links, geez!)

Try downclocking the card -105 from default clocks to see if it helps stop the error.

Daz1967 - Ive had the same Nvidia Driver crashes as you have described specifically during the "Metro 2033 Redux Benchmark," it has even reset the computer twice. I think this SC 980 card is overloading some PSU's even rated at 600w. Heaven and Valley both run without issue for at least 30 minute soak periods. Sajin - Yes, Down-clocking worked, and benchmarked successfully.

Usually when driver stop responding and application crash it's unstable card. If card is fabric OC that mean not binned well.
She can be stable in some games but general not stable because crash in some situation.
If benchmark pass on less clock that's it. Time for RMA.
From other side if restart during 3D test or shut down easy can be something else as PSU example...

Try updating to driver 344.16 Beta that has the 970 and 980 on it and see if that helps:  <-that is going to take you straight to NVidia's download where you have to agree to download :-) It could just be an issue with the driver itself, so maybe the beta will provide more stability.

Time to RMA the card as the card is unable to perform at default clocks. You should never have to downclock a card when running at the default clocks.

Hey guys, thanks for the input. I've downloaded and installed 344.16 now and the benchmark still crashes. After a few days of messing around, testing, aiming a large fan into my CPU case, anything to eliminate potential/theoretical issues I'm giving up and will RMA the card, as its pretty silly to have a GPU crash intermittently like this at stock settings. I want to use the card for many years before replacing so it needs to be solid for a long time. Just for the record, its only Metro 2033 Redux Benchmark that crashes. I'm actively playing Crysis 3 / Metro 2033 Redux and Arma 3 on a daily basis on maximum settings and these games are running rock solid. I've benchmarked Both Heaven and Valley More times than I care to admit over the weekend also running rock solid. Only the Metro 2033 Redux Benchmark crashes the Nvidia driver and sometimes it crashes without even overloading the graphics card, so I know the issue is not heat related. This reference style GPU runs Hot, hot, hot, constant 80-81c during gaming sessions and I play 4-6 hours at times. I run GPU-Z *and record a log file of GPU use* and HWMonitor during gaming to view system stats during gameplay. Also, I didn't mean to hijack the OP's thread, but I'm sure were suffering from the same issue. Like him, I'm not a system tweaker, but Ive dabbled in GPU over clocking and only experienced driver crashes while using AfterBurner to boost clock rates on my MSI GTX 650 OC GPU. It was perfectly stable out of the box, but would only accept a few MHZ over stock speeds before instability occurred, which was pointless to OC the card. Too high MHZ and the Nvidia Drivers would fail and when its loaded. I wont plan to OC this GTX 980 or newer cards as they don't need anymore performance. I will replace my PSU with an Evga 1300w unit for future expandability.

The default fan profile on all NVIDIA cards are optimized for silence out of the box, this makes the cards run hotter for sure, setting up a custom fan profile would help lower the temps. MSI Afterburner & EVGA Precision X provide the feature to setup custom fan profiles.

Unstable card never crash only in one or two applications.
You need to give time. If something is really wrong card will show that in many situation and new games where need to work 100%.
Best you can do is to provide nice temps, with custom or higher manual profile, ventilation in case and newer better PSU.
Because you have Superclocked model that's same as you bought reference and OC 150MHz and complain why she can't 250MHz OC.
Only manufacturer finish OC instead of you and for me is better that than every time looking where is software icon and check is everything OK with clock or I didn't press to load with Windows, or something else.

Yuck, I didn't know that. Thanks, I will set a custom profile; however, the fan is ramping up to 2300 rpm during gaming sometimes regardless: BTW: an Update. Played Metro for a few minutes with latest Driver and it; the driver crashed. So much for Rock Solid claim's in my previous post.

No problem. If you're only crashing in one application than it's most likely an issue related to that application. If the card was truly defective the crashing would show up in multiple games/applications.

Thanks again, I've set a new Fan Profile to Run at 85% at 70c and its locked the GPU temps around 71c and the Core Clock is locked at 1354.2 mhz. Nice suggestion, It didn't even cross my mind to set a Fan Profile. I always thought the Factory would set this GPU to run at max clock, then set the fan speed accordingly, and dynamically. But, you were right, the Fan was staying around 40-45% while gaming, which is too low. I'll keep tweaking until I lock the GPU Temps at about 75% as I don't want to burnout the Fan either. Indeed, whether it results in a driver issue, application issue or ends up being the card itself, I'll diligently seek out a solution and keep testing other games. I have a game ordered "The Vanishing of Ethan Carter" coming on the 25th, so it will be tested even further. None of this is a surprise with a 1st generation product on the market, I expected some casual issues. As long as the GPU operates for my work, Im good and I have 30 days to find out whats happening. Also, just to clarify. Im not OC'ing this GPU, nor do I plan to. Its running stock speeds.

Hey Guys... I have a update to this thread. Now thinking it was the PSU was indeed the problem, for me. Not only was it the Problem, I was playing Crysis 3 and the thing went POP!!!! I've replaced my 600w PSU with an EVGA SuperNova 1300w PSU and All crashes ceased. Im able to run Back to Back Metro 2033 Redux Benchmarks without issue. 3 FPS Min - 212 FPS max Average is 53 FPS

Thanks Sajin. Also the Custom Fan Profile replacement was a great addition to this whole issue. GPU stays around 73c during tests and gaming. It stabilized the Core clock in the Mid/Upper 1300's rather than reducing it down the mid 1200's because of the temps.

I expected. Did you try to OC? If card can't at least 50-70MHz immediately without touching voltage to pass from first time every test than she is probably unstable. If something else is problem card will run tests some times longer without artifacts, flickering, finish tests before some new crash. I recommend one more thing. Waiting new official NVIDIA WHQL driver, OS reinstall and default memory and Processor but you must expect driver crash. This is first driver, but cards are tested and other work normal.

Vlada011 Thanks for the advice, I'll return the card; However these cards are sold out, everywhere, so theres going to be a wait on getting a replacement. I'll return to this thread with an update when the New Card arrives. Solution-less threads are worthless in a forum like this. I'm truly hoping I just have a lame card and that the drivers are not the cause.

Exact same thing happens to me with the Metro benchmarks, specifically using Physx. EVGA 980 GTX OC. Got mine from Scan too. It's not a power issue, unless a 600W supply is actually not enough for this card. Unless it is happening in other games, I wouldn't be worried.

My 600w Card was clearly not enough and literally blew yesterday during gameplay. Keep in mind, this was a new PSU purchased June 29th 2014 and this 600w PSU could not have powered a GTX 770 because the Rail requirements of the 770 requires 42a and this PSU had only 36a. I think the Specs of the GTX 980 need more PSU details and I wouldnt run this card if I had an old PC with a 500w PSU. Yesterday, I replaced the now failed 600w PSU with an EVGA 1300w with over 100a on the 12 volt rail and Metro Benchmarking worked immediately; However, looping the benchmark 20x the Nvdia display Driver crashed at run 19. So, either the card is'nt solid or its the driver.

20 runs is pretty good IMO.

Indeed, I thought so too. But, its not just Benchmarking is unstable, Playing both Crysis and Metro 2033 crash to desktop w/driver failure.

Downclocking the card clears all this up correct?

Hope the same for you, chime in here with results or private message me when you run some tests or play a few non stop hours of gameplay. I want a replacement card, exact one, same model EVGA and specs, just one that doesn't fail under load. Then, I want another not for SLI, but GPU rendering with the Octane Render Application *likely to push these cards to the extreme*.
