Hey guys I have just installed my new gtx 1080 ftw but I am already having problems while gaming.

 

For example yesterday I was playing the witcher 3 and after 2-3 hours of gaming my screen went black and I heard the fans spinning to max rpm.

The temperature while gaming at 1440p ultra settings are around 80° which I think it's a bit higher then normal. Instead while not gaming the temp is around 55-59 which is absurdely high (I am even with the case open atm).

 

Should I RMA it? Should I try a different brand? Because in case I will ask for a refund!

having this problem too, but it might be because of OC my card to far. Is there an overclock on your card?

No OC on my side.

 

But as far as I understood the card Out of the box OC is made to OC itself becoming a bit unstable. I think I will just RMA
