when I RMA'ed my card, defect wasn't V-sync enabled. I enabled v-sync after the replacement, and no problem. you think v-sync off pushing more FPS is killing the card?

I have V-Sync on and I still get black screens. The only thing that seemed to stop the black screens was to severely underclock the card.

Saw this on Reddit.

Not true. My RMA card blackscreened and it was shipped two weeks ago.

V-sync caps your frames to 60 or 30 fps. in order with that in some games the card downclockes itself when it can easily reach the target 60 fps. for example bioshock 2: my card only clocks there about 1390 mhz because it is enough to get the 60 fps. so there is no black screen because the card is heavily downclocked. the amount of black screens has a lot to do with the clocks i think. but a overclock-failure would not result in black screens. it should show graphic errors or driver crashes and not black screens with 100% fanspeed.
 
 

I've had my card since 14th of July and never got this problem, but then I usually run my games with V-Sync on, have a custom fan curve set (70% speed at 65C+) and the only really demanding titles I have played since purchasing it were Fallout 4 and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
So a dumb question for the people experiencing this - were you running with unlocked framerate? Default or custom fan curve? I've lodged a support ticket asking about the thermal pads situation, kinda worried now.

V-Sync on, Fan full 100% on a GTX 1080 Hybrid. Still experienced black screens.

Sorry to hear that. May I ask what games did it happen on?

am i the only one with the classified who got this issue?
the weird thing is that the chip itself is only getting 60 Degrees hot (shown in afterburner). so i am not sure if the vram is getting too hot.
but what else would force a 100% fan-curve? this sounds like a emergency-system that bumps up the fans when a part of the card is getting too hot

Thanks for the info, nothing I can test sadly.
