So I recently had to RMA my 1080ti ftw3 and i got it back and its worse in terms of stability. It doesnt do this instantly it takes about 5-10 minutes before it shows the images. I tried everything:

-Fresh install
-Clean Drivers (DDU)
-Swapped PSU
-Old system ( i7 4970k) 
-Stock MOBO settings, No XMP
-Different PCI slot within new build.
-Memtest86+ for 10 hours
-AIda64 CPU stress with memory for 7 hours
-Realbench for 16 hours Stress test
-Prime95 for 10 hours
-Heaven Benchmark
 

The only item that showed no issue was using my old system for my GPU gave no issues. So is the motherboard defective?
My old card while unstable did last the whole day on heaven benchmark but this did not last more than 10 minutes.

Artifacts usually point toward an issue with the GPU, but you should still make sure your cpu and motherboard as well as ram are all at 100% stock settings for testing. Overextending your overclock on the cpu can cause issues as well. Test with everything set to factory settings and see how they work.

Also, do you have a 1080ti or a 1080? You say 1080ti FTW2, but that is a little confusing.

The 1080 is a FTW or a FTW2, and the 1080ti is a FTW3, so that question may come from others as they are mixed. This is just for clarification sake.

it happens at stock as well, I have not overclocked this system ever since i built it
 
and its a 1080ti ftw3, a mistype on the start

Ok, I would suspect an issue with the vram on the gpu. It sucks to go through another Roma, but contact evga and let them know and they may be able to move things along quicker this time.

Alright i will contact them again, last time i did they honestly think the motherboard was the issue or the cpu. But if that were the case , then my last card would have hte same issues but this isnt the same issue.

Locking this thread.
 
Reason for locking: You have an older thread open that talks about this same issue. Lets use that older thread instead. Thanks.
