yea for now I;m not too concerned about it. I checked system events and it was something related to lack of memory the first time it happened, but will test other games just to make sure.  great card, runs quiet, and tbh, it really is better on the green side.  

Just wondering if the non hybrid 1080 ftw has dual bios? Slave bios has the +130% power over the regular +120?

Thx.

 
Gahhh just installed couple of days ago and had the same thing happen - 1080 FTW Hybrid, haven't even tried to clock it yet, got black screen, fans spun up to 100%, had to reset/restart PC to get back up again. I was only playing GW2 which is not GPU intensive, card was running well under 50C, was only playing for like 40 minutes. I guess RMA is in order... dammit. Going to end up with a refurb card instead. Purchased from EVGA direct.. is there a 30 day return period like Newegg? My 980Ti never gave me a problem, not even once.
 
 

Wait a BIOS update to FTW cards?

Were all in the boat! I believe I've heard people say you get a new card in return though I'd wait to hear from others first.

Try out the slave bios.. theres a switch on the card to swap between the 2 bios. See if that helps.

It will not be a refurb card, give us a call we will get a replacement out to you immediately.

What is most interesting to me is almost all of the reports of this issue I have seen so far have reported the factory overclock at '2025Mhz' (mine too) - I don't think that can be a coincidence because my understanding is these parts would more than likely have differing factory over-clocks and it almost seems like these all had the same 'incorrect' overclock. My uneducated guess is EVGA have a newer version of the FTW/ACX card coming out and this batch had the incorrect BIOS, or at least the incorrect factory overclock data in their BIOS.

My boost only goes to 1987MHz, never tried to overclock it, only installed a couple of days ago. Got black screen and 100% fan spin up, hard reboot to fix, playing GW2 (non heavily GPU intensive).

Ok thanks, will do.
 
...ok done, waiting for RMA ID and then approval in 1-2 days. I thought I was going to have to pay shipping but no. Thanks.
