Hello,
 
I don't know if this has been discussed here yet, and if so I apologize. I have received my new GTX 1080ti and I've noticed while playing all games that the screen sometimes goes Black then comes back after a second or two. I don't know if this is a known issue or if I should try and RMA my card out? Any insight or knowledge on this matter is greatly appreciated!

I appreciate the quick response... I am using all default settings. The cable I just was using on my old Radeon r9 fury x with never any issues regarding a black screen scenario.

Are you using an HDMI connection and 60Hz refresh (or more)?  I have had the exact same problem with two different monitors.  They were fine at their 1920x1200 and 1920x1080 native resolutions at 48Hz, 50Hz and 59Hz refresh rates over HDMI, but at 60Hz the monitor would go blank for a second every now and again.  I fixed it by buying a DisplayPort cable.  Try setting your refresh rate to less than 60Hz or using DisplayPort.

Could be a faulty cable/output. Try a different cable/output. Make sure your displayport cable is vesa certified if you're using one.

Send it back to EVGA. I had the same issue happen last week. First the memory drops happened when playing ME:A. So I went about 2 days of uninstalling and re-installing drivers.

Came across many of different fixes. And each time things got worst. Went from a black screen to a green screen to flickering during booting.

Just contact EVGA and RMA it.

But if many people are having the same issue... What would RMA'en it do? Dude said he RMAd out his card and had the same issue... It's definitely a driver thing I believe.

While I agree, If it's a driver issue, EVERYBODY would have this issue. Card BIOS issue, maybe? Is there a bad batch that has to be re-flashed? I'm still not convinced either way to be honest. Although, I don't think EVGA would RMA it even if that's the case either since they can just give you another BIOS update so who knows. Somebody knows what's going on here but they ain't telling us...

Have you checked the event viewer to see if you're getting any display driver resets?

So, found this in the Nvidia driver 381.65 notes that were released today. This is listed under "Open Issues" Pg 15: 
 
 [GeForce GTX 1080 Ti][Mass Effect: Andromeda]: Random memory errors may occur when playing the game. [1887520]
 
Could this be the issue you are all experiencing?
 

That was a issue. But that would happen only in game. My problem was similar after I realized there was an driver problem with ME:A. Again it went through trying to fix the problem for a few days. My hunch is that the previous drivers screwed with the Bios on the card. So my recommendation is to just send it back. 

im still having issues, even with the latest drivers  384.76

Yeah I have a display port cable...

Thought this was a known issue?

Haven't been keeping tabs on it, but it's been an issue for a while.

I have the same issue with ftw3 and requested for RMA. Before I send the card back, I decided to buy a new dp 1.4 cable to replace the original dp cable from dell s2716dg. I will post the result after I received my new cable.

Were you able to replace the cable and see if it fixes the issue?


 
Thanks!

Anyone have any results to their issue, either RMA or cable?
 
I'm having the issue on an 8mo old 1080ti SC Hybrid, on HDMI though.  Swapped cables & ports on my TV 3-4 times.  No display port option.
 
Any time it resumes from sleep, it will flash repeatedly until I unplug and replug the cable from either the card or TV.  Now, that doesn't work every time and I have to completely shut down and restart.
 
My desktop also enjoys crashing from 3840x2160 to 1024x768 pretty regularly.

I am having this issue too where my main G-Sync monitor will go black for a second or two on my FTW3.
 
I've updated the vBIOS to the latest, done a clean driver install and all the usual troubleshooting. I am going to swap my DP cables around (two monitors, one without G-Sync) and see if that helps. It was never an issue on the STRIX 1080 that it replaced. 
 
Clocks do not drop, nor does power usage. They stay maxed wherever they are at the time of play.
 
Might be time for an RMA...? I'll let you guys know. 
 
Edit: I changed the cables around, and I am now able to use my monitor as intended. The black screen hasn't happened so far, and it no longer flickers like mad unless the G-Sync monitor is in the secondary DP instead of the primary DP. I wasn't even able to make it into my UEFI without the screen just going completely black in the past - and now I can. Maybe it was a cable issue all along...? I'll confirm once I've played with it more. So far, so good!

I had the same problem.
What is your system specs?
If you happen to have one of the asus prime x470 pro like me, just dont use ai suite 3. 
 

I've got two full systems I've tried the card in and both exhibit the same issues.  
 
My original system:
Ryzen 7 1800x
Gigabyte AX370 Gaming 5
16gb Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200mhz
EVGA 1080TI SC Hybrid
256GB (240GB?) Samsung 960 NVME
5 Mech HDs - 1TB-3TB ea
 
Trying to diagnose, I swapped my parts over to my roomate's build, which is exhibiting the same symptoms (with the EVGA card in obviously):
 
Right now I'm running:
Ryzen 5 1600
Gigabyte AB350 Gaming (ATX)
Crucial Ballistic 2400mhz 8gb
EVGA 1080TI SC Hybrid
256GB (240GB?) Samsung 960 NVME
5 Mech HDs - 1TB-3TB ea
 
Is this is RMA issue or something that can maybe be fixed via VBIOS flash?
