Hello all,
 
I know that the .38 hotfix fixed my 980TI driver crash and what not, but it seems that both .30 and .38 are causing even more crashing with my 780SC.  Can anyone confirm this is true for them as well?  I can reproduce the crash everytime about midway through my Firestrike bench.  I cleared each of the driver sets and reinstalled, but still seems to be problematic.  I am going to try backing my overclocks down just to see if that might be part of the issue, but figured I would ask in advance of that.

    I run a pair of SLI Titans.  The .30 drivers caused crashing in all games and benches at stock clocks.  My setup seems to run ok now with the .38 drivers.  Have not tested with OC yet but I have not had good luck with OC on newer drivers.  A small OC does not really matter to me @ this point as the newer cards performance is so much greater (ie.-Titan X, 980ti)  Will use my Titans until performance is not acceptable then upgrade to the best cards available.

    Seems to be a mixed bag.  I dropped the machine in which the 780 is installed in back to .30 drivers.  I think the stability is better on those drivers than on .38.  Seems I have only had one or two crashed versus one every time I ran say Valley or Firestrike.  The OC right now isn't crazy at all.  Talking +125 on the core and +150 on memory.  But just to clarify, they did crash with and without the OC on the .38 drivers.  With that said, on this here X99 system with my 980TI's, I have not had a single crash on .30 or .38 with and without my overclocks.  That is bizarre to me, but I guess it is what it is.

    My 780 Ti's working just fine with .38 atm. Though I did have one hiccup, when I ran a game after installing the drivers it had a massive amount of artifacting and then eventually crashed. I restarted my rig and enabled K boost in Precision X and haven't had a single problem as of yet. Running an oc of 1345MHz (+325), memory untouched.

    Turns out after more testing, no matter what driver I use, the 780 crashes and artifacts.  During all this, I noticed the temperature spike to 80C in about 1 minute.  I contacted EVGA and I have a replacement coming.  Obviously something is wrong with this card.

    Yeah, I was about to say that my 780 Ti's are worked just fine with the .38s on Win8.1, and the same for Win10 now.
