During any game my 1080ti will stop outputting to my display I am forced to restart and then come back to a windows notification saying the display driver has crashed.

 

What I have tried

DDU (and then reinstall)

Change from Game ready to creator drivers

Reinstall GPU 

Change GPU to prefer maximum performance 

Update windows

Is the GPU overclocked or running a modded firmware? Was it bought used?

Hmm, and you already DDU'd it. Try making a new user profile on Windows and see if it still happens when running a game on the new user profile. If it doesn't happen on that profile it would be an issue with your Windows install.
