Been having this issue randomly happen the past month, never showed up till then. I purchased my 1080 FTW from Newegg early July. Very random on when it will occur as well. I noticed everything will be fine with my rig for a week straight before the black screen, then I would have to restart to get video signal again to my monitor. Some instances it can happen within 30mins of a restart. This has happened during Battlefield 1 & 4, Battlefront and web browsing on Chrome.

Just sent in for a RMA request yesterday but keep getting errors in regards to my uploaded invoice from Newegg. Hope I can get this issue resolved soon.

I got the black screen 3 days ago playing BF1. Monitor Black screened and fans ramped up really high, had to shut down PC and then reboot. I saw all this on the net about people having issues especially with the FTW GTX 1080 cards. The odd thing is I played through Gears of war 4 no issues, Forza Horizon 3 no major issues.. a few crashes but nothing major.. I also played through Deus EX MD no issues. 
 
I have not been able to replicate the black screen and the fans ramping up. So I fired up the witcher 3 no issues... I ran Fur Mark for an hour no issues. I have no clue what happend but it only happend once playing BF1.. but I immediatly sent out an RMA and they are sending me a new card.
 
1 black screen and fans at 100% out of 100 hours of gaming and stress testing at least. Very strange.

It's random, but glad you did RMA it. they will definitely replace it with a fixed one. My replacement has no problem. the VRM is what they replacement. The replacement will be fine

Since this is a manufacturing issue are they replacing these with new ones. I feel like I bought a bunk card, and they might want to replace it with a refurb, so essentially I paid full price for a refurb. :(

I had the same Issue, with the first RMA. but Definitely Confirm with them that you want a New one. 

Picked up my 1080 FTW hybrid from newegg two days ago and checked the shipped date. Mine was shipped out late October so I think I'll be ok hopefully.

Is RMA definitely fixing the issues? I am curious because I have had the BS100% crash on my 1080FTW only in very specific scenarios such as in BF1 single player the test flight stage shooting the balloons and such and have not had any in other games for 2 months now. Could this crash be a game specific issue? I do not want to RMA and then end up with a refurb that did not address the problem.

Got the same problem on Battlefield 1 single player campaign, black screen with fan max out.
But not in multiplayer or any other game for now.
 
Btw I just bought the card about 2 weeks ago. So I doubted it so much.

Which mission in battlefield 1 singleplayer? I get it without fail on the plane mission above london after 5mins. Currently awaiting response on my RMA request.

Same on the plane Mission, I got past the opening plane mission it was either the 2nd or 3rd part of the plane mission. I am going to replay the whole mission tonight to see if it black screens but its very strange that it only happend once in 4 or 5 games.

I had the same problem and will start the RMA process.
is there any way to find out when the card has been manufactured? (i would like to check once I receive the one i will get from RMA)
Thanks!
 

Yesterday I tried the third mission of the Battlefield 1.
 
When you tried to fight as a armor soldier everything is fine, I've passed the church part like about 20 minutes around without problem.
But when another group of enemy bombers and fighters coming hot and you gotta hit them with a turret.
Then I got another black screen in this part.
 
Guessing if this aircraft related or what.

I have no clue I replayed the Plane mission in BF1 and I did NOT get a black screen. I am confused what causes the black screen apparently it some faulty component. Other than that 1 freak incident black screen I love the GTX 1080, its amazingly fast.

Yes, the bombs missed your screen and hit the computer case

I got my RMA today, it was definitely a refurbished GTX 1080 FTW. I can see a couple of small scratches on the top of the card where the logo is. I noticed the card ran a little hotter than my first card. Hopeufully there are no issues with it. To early to tell.
