Hello Community! The EVGA classified gtx 980 is my First EVGA card!
However, I have seen some problems... On the first day of having the gtx 980, I was able to stabilize at +135 core clock and +200 memory clock, which was all done in EVGA precision x 16, and successfully benchmarked, with the use of unigine heaven and valley, at that speed without any kind of voltage increase, (I don't bother touching these things). I played Skyrim, which had enb mods and all, league of legends, and battlefield 4 without any driver problems. However, after 1 day, it is not capable of overclocking +80mhz (1510 mhz) or +70mhz core clock (1500 mhz) on the core clock while playing games such as Civ 5 and League of legends, (the memory clock was just set down to default). Doing so will lead to driver failure or even a gray screen of death with my 2nd monitor working, or it will hard lock my whole entire system and freeze it with a buzzing noise. I have clean installed my nvidia card as well. In game temperatures are only 38 degrees Celsius. The highest I saw it was ~60, but only in games such as BF4 and skyrim. I'm awfully sorry for asking the community, but I just want to confirm it's one of these cases: Is it a card problem? Did I just lose really hard on the EVGA classified lottery? Is it just the game? I'm just wondering since I've been seeing so many wonderful results on this card in multiple reviews and multiple users.
I am running the latest Nvidia Driver. My psu is the corsair g700. My ram is corsair dominator 8gb (4x2) at 1866 mhz and my cpu is the i5 3570k at regular speeds. My motherboard is an Asus pz77 lk.
I have tons of patience, so i'm willing to walk it through. I'll update how +10mhz works with these games/overall use..
I appreciate every ounce of assistance provided!!
