I gave up on trying to overclock my 3080 ftw ultra. Did the bios update on OC switch. I can run my bench marks at 115+ clock (120 crashes on time spy all the time), and I’ve gotten my memory up to the 800-900 range. However, when I try running Witcher 3 on OC settings, game constantly crashes. Tried under clocking my clock and memory but kept crashing. Spend hours upon hours. I have a very aggressive fan curve setup to (fans 100 percent at 70 degrees). I flipped switch back to normal and Witcher runs fine.
I’m thinking it’s an overheating issue on GPU and so that is why game crashes. It just crashes to desktop , so I can easily just do stuff again on my PC. One time it froze computer and I had to hard reset.

I even have tried the scan auto overclock with mixed results. First time I tried it it said do a 90 clock and only 200 memory. Second time it said do 124 clock and 0 memory, third time it said 120 clock and 0 memory. Seems to be bugged.
