NEW ISSUE: - EVERYTHING is on Stock. Stock memory, stock CPU, debug mode GPU.
 
When performing ANY stress test of any kind, the GPU cuts the signal. Again, all I have to do is disconnect and reconnect and it works and tasks being performed continue to run.
 
- The CPU temps are under 50 (due to stock)
- The memory has passed tests
- The OS HDD has passed tests
- Latest BIOS and drivers.

Any ideas?

 
As the title says, my GTX 1080 FTW loses signal. The fix is to unplug the cable and plug it back in. It's fine under the games I play (CS:GO and a few others) but it's annoying.
 
What happens:
The monitor turns off due to no signal being detected. 
 
Tested:
CS:GO
GTA V
Other games
Blender
 
Fix?
Fix appears to be unplugging the cable and plugging it back in (on the GPU, not the monitor)
 
Overclocks?
Removed overclocks from CPU, RAM, and GPU - same issue.
 
Drivers?
Happens under different drivers with my GTX 1080 only.
 
Event Viewer?
Nothing mentioned.
 
Can it be reproduced?
Yes, Blender appears to always cause it, but it happens under certain games as well.
 
Do I think it's the same as the "EVGA BS" issue?
I don't think so but I'm not sure. It's apparant that EVGA does not believe in Quality Control so I have no faith in the card.
 
Other components tested?
RAM passes tests
HDD passes tests and SMART info
Temperatures are more than acceptable
Dust is minimal and filters are cleaned often
All parts are less than one year old
 
Would I like to RMA the card?
Not unless it's faulty, but then I get a pre-owned card and have to pay postage costs. I thought I'd ask here and hope an EVGA support guy would reply.
 
Have I contacted Support?
Yes. I called US support due to EU support only working office hours. The guys I spoke with couldn't have been less interested. He did offer to RMA the card, but then there's the costs involved and the idea of a second-hand card is not great.
 
Do I think it's the card?
I'm not really sure, that's why I thought I would ask on here.
 
I hope the above is in a clear format. Thank you for taking the time to read.

Are you using the dp cable that shipped with your monitor?

I've tested two cables - one that came with the monitor and one I purchased from eBuyer. I have read the EVGA FAQ about non-certified DisplayPort cables - is that what you're referring to?

The dp output you're currently using may be faulty. Make sure to test the other dp outputs too.

You've already tried step 2? http://forums.evga.com/Basic-troubleshooting-steps-Windows-clean-boot-clean-driver-install-debug-mode-etc-m2504606.aspx

I'm now seeing performance issues in games where the FPS drops by 60% or so. I'm starting to think the GTX 1080 may have issues.

Do you notice the drops when you have your in game settings set to the lowest possible settings?

I just had this happen to me while gaming for the first time yesterday. Black screen on both monitors. No fan speed increase. I had music playing in the background and it continued playing after everything went black. So wasn't a hard crash.

Today it happened again while gaming. Same thing with the music continuing to play. Found this thread and unplugged the reinserted the DisplayPort and my 2 screens came back to life. Weird that my 2nd monitor is connected via hdmi but also rebooted after reinserting the DisplayPort to my main monitor. My game had crashed to desktop. Temps looked normal. Not sure what the problem could be. Maybe the game crashing somehow caused the black screen? Leaning to it being something with the DisplayPort. Idk

Yes, using the DisplayPort cable that came with the monitor. Primary monitor is a Dell S2716DG G-sync monitor and using a EVGA GTX 1080 FTW. I'll update if it happens again. Curious to see if my game crashes to desktop every time the screens go black. 

Sounds like it's time to start an RMA, but EVGA Tech Support might have something else for you to try if you want to call or email them - http://www.evga.com/about/contactus/ 

I have the exact same monitor and I am using the stock cable, so far I have had no issues. Running off a non FTW 1080 Hybrid.

Sounds like it's time to start the rma process. How old is your psu?
 

I have formatted and reinstalled Windows and stuck with the 372.90 drivers. So far, I've not noticed issues (in basic benchmarks). I plan to fully test the system.
 
Is there a good way to replicate playing something like DOOM or BF1 without having to play it (not Heaven or Valley)?

I've played a few hours of CS:GO and noticed no change, but then CS:GO mostly worked beforehand. I've also tested 30 minutes of Fallout 4 (Ultra, UHD) and it seemed about as I remember.
 
I don't have time to test games at the moment. However, I did go out and leave RealBench running on a stress test. I chose 8GB RAM for 4 hours - it passed without issue (this was a problem beforehand).
 
This is very, very odd.

Some graphics drivers can cause a black screen at the end of a realbench run. Looks like 372.90 isn't one of them.

This wasn't just an issue with RealBench, but with any stress-testing software.

Guess it's time to try some of those other stress tests as you've only mentioned realbench.
 

RealBench
Aida64
IntelBurnTest
x264 Benchmark (AVX)
Intel XTU
 
All of those have passed. Oddly, since testing a new driver, Heaven gives a 10fps average increase compared to the current driver. I'm not sure whether this is a hardware of software issue and that annoys me. The black screen in two games does seem to indicate hardware - and Jacob's explanation in the thread shows why this might cause issues only under certain circumstances.
 
I'll continue to perform tests as I've lost faith in EVGA's RMA process after seeing the number of people who received defective cards after sending theirs back.

Hey guys,

Just wanted to refresh this thread with some more info on the same problem: 
 
Speccy: speccy . piriform . com / results / DzZHwu6C1SvL5frANoLivUy
 
Status: UNRESOLVED
 
Computer Type: Desktop, custom built
 
GPU: EVGA 1080ti FTW3, issue reproduced with and without overclock. WAS +55Mzh GPU clock offset, + 500 Mhz Memory clock offset.
 
CPU: Intel core i7-4820k @ 3.7Ghz ivy-bridge, issue reproduced with and without overclock. WAS set to 4.5Ghz. Do not think this is related to issue.
 
Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth x79, latest BIOS version as of 6/19/17
 
RAM: gskill sniper DDR3 1866, 4x4gb, 16gb total. Not overclocked
 
PSU: Silver Stone OP1000-e 1000w PSU, probably half a decade old but voltages looked fine on Bios.
5v => flickered between 5.296, 5.312
12 => was consistently 12v, no flickering.
 
Operating System & Version: Windows 10 Home 64-bit (10.0, Build 15063) Fresh install on new SSD as of 6/19/17
 
Description of Problem: Got a RMA started but I still want to narrow this down in case the new card doesn't solve it.
Got a new 1080 ti FTW3 in June, card worked fine for about 2 weeks. My buddy came over and we played some TW: Warhammer, during one of the battles both of my monitors lost input. Sound and keyboard input still worked, the lights on my GPU were still on, but the GPU itself was not giving my a signal to my monitors. Had to restart my computer, and this happened probably two more times that night.
Fast forward another week, have had the card for almost a month now and this issue now happens in Overwatch, The Witcher, Battlegrounds, Total War: WH. It happens pretty inconsistently as well... played 6 games of Overwatch fine 2 days ago, then I get 3 forced reboots while trying to play OW with my wife yesterday. Anyone familiar with this?
Starting to get forced reboots with simply chrome/youtube now. 
 
Troubleshooting:
- I turned off all overclocking,
- DDU'd my drivers and reinstalled them (did this twice, with an older more stable driver, and the most recent)
- checked my 12v voltage on my BIOS
- Re-seated video card in different PCI-E slot
- unplugged PC to flush power, reset CMOS battery
 
Future Troubleshooting:
- Incoming new DP cable (I would think the one that comes with PG278QR would be decent quality though).
- New 1080ti FTW3 incoming.
 
I don't think this is a PSU issue, since my GTX 780 worked fine right before this and it consumes around the same power.
