Anyone having issues with driver 418.81? I was playing Apex Legends for a couple hours and all of a sudden Im getting graphic card removal errors. The same errors that started showing up when the first card failed. I have yet to see artifacts so I was wondering if anyone has had issues with the Nvidia driver.

Unstable overclock can cause that. You running your card at stock clocks?

Yep, looks like your factory oc may be unstable.

I got to looking around and the message isnt the exact same but similar. I also had significantly more issues on the other card. The first card had artifacts and eventually the computer started to fail boot if the card was installed. The first card for sure had issues.

Could this be bad game install issue? I did a clean OS install when did this last install 2 months ago. Hard to see how it went bad all of a sudden considering I was in the field and not using it for half the time and the other half never showed the issue. Only new thing is the game itself, new Nvidia drivers, and OS version.

My current plan is to do a fresh install after work of the graphics drivers and the game itself. Also making all software/drivers/bios are all up to date still. Will update if I see issues still. If can think of anything else to try before a OS clean install, please let me know.

I will do that if I have issues with tonights run. It appears to be happening after longer gaming runs but once it starts its frequent. Id say it was a temp issue if I wasnt at stock settings, fans still on my OC curve, and liquid cooled at 50 C under load. Cant see how that could be it.
 
What Ive done tonight to prep:
DDU and reinstall 418.81
Uninstall and reinstall Apex Legends
Update OS
Update bios
Running all items at stock setting other than fan curve/pump speed
 
 
Havent ran a game yet but it appears to be running smoother at the menu. I have all the same settings and my frame rate was never over 100 fps, now its running over 265 most of the time. Wondering if I was frequency locked for some reason or had some bad code somewhere because I double checked the settings to make extra sure nothing was different. Thats a huge performance jump for it to just be nothing to do with what steps Ive taken this afternoon.

Interesting. So you were seeing the same error? I see you're running 2160p, I'm running 1440p, think that may have any difference on it?

I had seen some people having issues but my quick research at lunch the other day didnt see anyone posting the same issue at the time. Glad to hear it's the game not the card.


*sigh* this card was supposed to be an upgrade. I like my higher frames but RTX is in nothing, the first batch of cards was bad, and seems like every game has trouble with RTX cards on start up. This is starting to feel like a $1300 downgrade.

Also the Topic Tile "RMA #2 2080 TI FTW" is a little deceiving.

Cool, Coming Soon https://store.steampowered.com/app/998400/TransSiberian_Railway_Simulator
Thank you

Just crashed. Items I mentioned previously did not help. I.e
DDU and reinstall 418.81
Uninstall and reinstall Apex Legends
Update OS
Update bios
Running all items at stock setting other than fan curve/pump speed

Yes but it was disconnecting similar to my first card and I jumped the gun. If it can be changed I dont mind it being changed but I didnt think it could be.

 Setting to 10 bpc fixed mine

Mine only shows 8 bpc, I have no other options.
 
 
 
Going to let it run again before it implement a test fix. If it crashes again, would it be better to step down the load on the card or underclock? WOuld it be worth reverting drivers?

I just wanted to make sure it was reapeatable tonight. It is. Same issue, saying the graphics card was removed. Here is the event log event. Both times tonight have the same description.
 

 
Going to revert before I underclock.

I have no OC, this is all on stock settings for the last 2 days. I have reverted to see if that helps. I have only been playing Apex Legends but I did let Heaven run a couple hours and it showed now issues. Ill try the revert then if that fails, the underclock, if that fails Ill deal or change games. The one things thats puzzling me is that it runs fine for a couple hours then starts crashing. Once it crashes it then continues to crash about every 15-30 minutes consistently.

We Know Apex Legends has issues on your Computer and Graphics Card, what about other Games?
 
Is this Score on your First Card https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/33314446 or This Second Card?
 
What Bios are you Running on your EVGA Z370 FTW Motherboard?
 
Are you asking for Help/Support over on Apex Legends Website?

 
I have yet to play other games.
 
The second card when all components were over clocked
 
what version but it was the latest on their site this afternoon
 
Ive been reading things on there but have yet to ask anything
 
 
 
 
Reverting the drivers appears to help. I have not had it crash since I reverted. However a longer run will be done tomorrow to make sure it "fixed" it. Unfortunately I was in the field when 418.87 Im just now getting around to messing with it.
