Hey there,
 
I bought myself a new graphics Card 2 Days ago. Now I have a Problem with this Card while playing Crysis 3.
I Player some time thought the first Level, not Problem. Now I am in the second Level and the game keeps crashing with the error  
"DXGI_Error_Device_Removed". I googled a bit and some ppl say that it is the the overclocked graphics Card.
 
- newest Nvidia Driver installed
- temp max <80 degree celcius
- no overclock, except the stock overclock
 
The game crashes sometime after 10 min, sometimes after 1min and when the game is crashed I can not launch it again.
During the Intro (Logos etc.) the same error occur. After a PC restart the same procedure again - 1-10min gameplay ingame ... Crash ...
 
some ideas? If not I have to send this Card back to my reseller and buy myself another one :(

sorry my fault :(
I have tried 314.09 and the bit older 313.96 BETA Driver. Both have the same error.
The rest of my sys ist a I5-3570k + ASROCK Z77 MB, a Creative XFI Titanium Sound Card.
The System is running on Windows 8 Pro.

Do you have the same problem with other games?

Hello,
Thanks 4 the replys. I don't have any probs in other games.
I ran some Benchmarks like 3dmark (fire&ice), unigine valley and even furmark.
My PSU should do fine. I had a GTX480 OC before the GTX680.
The 480 consumes much more power than the 680.
 
There is one Thing I recognized yesterday while playing. I increased the GPU-Voltage by 50 mV via MSI Afterburner. Since this I had no more crashes.
 
I will Keep you up to date with this.
 

Hi, 

I've got the same problem with my GTX 680 4Gb 2 Way SLI on Crysis 3.
Mostly happend when I overclock the cards using Precision X.
Maybe heating problem. Hope it's software though..
Let me know if you could fix the problem somehow. 

change your fan profiles.  I had to set my profiles to stop crashing in BF3, PS2, and (sometimes) GW2.  I have found if I can keep my card from hitting 60 deg.  I am fine and can play for hours until boredom sets in.
