Just to be clear, this is also happening to 1080 FTW DT Downtuned cards such as mine running at STOCK/default. For those contemplating DT versions this may not help.

I got my first black screen+100% fan speed today when playing rocket league... ROCKET LEAGUE! Not the most demanding game. Albeit I had the card overclocked +75mzh on the core and +175mhz on the vram. Full power and everything. I have dialed down the overclock a bit now and tested with heaven and it has not crashed again. It would be nice if you could overclock the card without being stressed out about this crash. We'll see what the future holds I guess...
 
Would be nice, like somebody else mentioned, if EVGA could replicate the crash in their labs and see if there's a solution to the problem. 

If I was you I would return the card to the place you purchased it and see if you can get a store credit. Get a 1080 that does not have "FTW" in the name. I hope that EVGA now sees this as a big enough problem to issue a BIOS update/work in progress report etc.etc. something to tell the scores of users that this problem is being addressed and that a fix is coming soon.

I have emailed my retailer. I'll probably get an answer on monday or tuesday. I'm considering the ASUS strix or the Gigabyte G1 instead. A bit more pricey in my country but maybe it's worth it if they don't crash?

Any update on this? My new Hybrid 1080 has done this a couple times. 

OK, I did not read 6 pages of post .....
 
My best guess - heat related crashing - (thermal induced expansion)
 
Has anyone with this issue -- pulled their cooler and checked the thermal pads & TIM ?
 
10X loop and inspect the solder joints ?

I am running in debug mode and setted the fan curve with different settings. Didn't crash, could be for the debug mod tho, I will try without tomorrow.
 
Anyway temps should not be the issue since people got this crash even at 60°.

Thermal induced (not max temp)  something changes as it heats / expands.
 
Solder joints, PCB

I've had cards do this to me in the past. I was running an ASUS GTX 780TI SLI setup a few years ago. At stock clocks, after about 10 minutes of gameplay (regardless of game), black screen and 100% fans, followed by system reboot.
 
Cards were defective. 

I got a video of the black screening as it happens, for people to see what it looks like. I'm on mobile and I used the Upload file to the server option. Not sure if that worked or not

That was my first guess as well. I was gonna check my self but i dont have any spare thermal pads around or paste and didnt want to spend more money (iam broke and jobless atm) on ordering it in from the states for the pads. I thought maybe pads to short or missing off of the power components or even the ram. My problem has not yet returned since removing my overclock as well as reseating my power connections in my psu and gpu (even though they were snug on both ends).

Good to see your issue is resolved
