Hi there,

I got my gtx 980 FTW and have a Big Problem.

I really Hope that anyone can help me.

I got all the time Crashes when i Play Borderland 2 and Borderland The pre Sequel.

I Analyzed my Windows Log - First my Nvidia Forceware Driver stoped Working.

Then Crashed my Borderlands Exe.


I got the Issue with Overclock Settings, with Stock Settings and with Downclock Settings.

Sometimes the Game runs 5 Minutes, somtimes 1 Hour.

Games like Farcry 4 or Max Payne 3 runs with Ultra Settings and Overclock Settings (GPU+90-, Vram+450 MHz) Stable.

I have also deactivate in Borderlands the Physix.

I run atm 350.12 - got the same Issue with 347.88.

Ideas?

Sry for my Englisch :D


Ohhh btw with my old GTX 780, the game has run fine.

Ive downclocked GPU -150 and vram -250. y did u mean the card is unstable? For exsmble farcry4 runs stable with boost 1508 and vram 3978. iam absolutely confused about this issue

Yes. I used DDU v15.0.0.1 for a clean Uninstallation.
 
Maybe i go to reinstall my win7 64bit. I have absolutely no idea, and that makes me sick :(

Hi again,
 
i have a i7 4790k without OC
 
i another Thread i actually describe the Problem. I thought the reason is the oc setting.
I checked the Card Completely. It doesnt goes up 72C.
 
Perhaps i found the issue. If i deactivate adaptive vsync, the Game runs with Maximum Power (1.2v 1508vram 3978vram - looks stable but need more time to test.
When i Activate ingame Vsync or in the Driver Menu Adaptive - My Card runs with 1.012v 1278gpu 3978vram and crashed.
 
If I deactivate Vsync and choose the option 120 fps it run with 1.2v 1508vram 3978vram.
 
It looks like that the Option Vsync downgrade my voltage ? and the card would unstable.
 
This only happens on Borderlands.
 
Farcry 4 or any other Game i have Run with adaptive vsync and 1.2v 1508vram 3978vram.
 
 
I remember, on my gtx 780 i also havent this issue.
 

Ok now the Driver has also stopped Working on Desktop.
 
I go back to 347.88 - seems to be, that 350.12 is not that choose i hope.
I play no GTA V so its ok to test.

I wouldn't RMA the card just because one game has an issue. Might want to try all available drivers sets to see if you can get one that works with that certain game without any issues.

try the last Drivers and i also have tryed to deactivate physix.

I got yesterday also driver crashes in desktop mode. First with 350.12 later also with 347.88.

I take the card and went to my neighbore.
He is using two gtx ,980 from MSI.


OK after we built in and testing, borderlands, it also crashing ****?

I believe the card has a big problem with his voltage or something else.




And btw, atm I have only with borderlands problems sometime on desktop. But who is promised me, that this is really the only one? I lost my trust in this card.

I call evga on Monday.

My friends gtx 980s r massively oc. And his voltage runs stable with vsync in borderlands. But he also have custom bios on his cards.

I think I won't try this. Its a really mysteriym.

I love this card. I see the incredible power but I also see on the internet many issues with the ftw edition.

Maybe I got my money and buy a sc.

Of course not. I havent touch.
