Hello,
 
My card tends to have a video driver crash about 1 time per day. when running games at 120fps
I've tried many different video drivers. the most stable has been 416.94 but it still crashes some days, and the performance on newer games isn't exactly the best.
I feel like my card might not be stable at it's bios speed/voltage.

Is there an official bios that i can use?

    Does not sound like a BIOS issue
     
    Which card - part number ?
     
    What are the specs of your Rig ?
     
    OS ? version & build if Win 10  (1803, 1809...... )
     
    MB BIOS up to date ?
     
    PSU age ?
     
    Whats running in the background ...... ?

    PN 06G-P4-6262-KR
    Win 10 1809
    MB BIOS up to date
    PSU is an EVGA 850 G2 from 2014/2015, doesn't seem to be showing any signs of aging

    I have OBS, and Rivatuner running to limit framerate to 120.
    Today I'm trying to increase the voltage with precision x, and use the newest nvidia driver to see if it crashes or not

    Are you OC any part of your Rig ?
     
    RAM setup manually or XMP ?
     
    Is XBox DVR turned Off ---> MS has it set to On by default

    My system has a very slight overclock on it, manually set it is very stable by itself.

    I tried doing a voltage increase in the XOC and it still crashed btw.

    Is your BCLK OC ?  

    If it is then your also OC the PCIe bus

    You may think your oc is stable, but it's always best to test without it to see if it will help fix your issue.

    No it's just a multiplier OC, I have a Ryzen 1700x on an MSI b350 tomahawk

    A strange note, once it crashes the driver 1 time, it has never crashed again untill restart.
    Even if used for a long time after the original crash
