Strix 1080 issues...

sport0182 · May 25, 2019

so i've got this strix 1080, and lately been having some issues with it. i've googled around, and some say it's a VRAM issue. it seems to work fine without the Nvidia drivers installed, such as safe mode... usually, windows would just restart the device, and it would work fine afterwards.. nothing goes wrong during gaming, or rendering... i'm kinda overwhelmed with the problem.. because windows restarts the device, and it works.. but without drivers, it seems to work as well.

i have tried a fresh install of windows, DDU and try with an older driver... i can't figure it out.

anyone have any ideas what it could be?

Space invaders on 10-series? That´s new. Thought it´s a 20-series issue but yeah, definetly VRAM issue. Is there warrenty left on it?

i don't think so...

Edit: so far i have a spare 120mm fan blowng at the card, because at start up. the GPU isn't warm enough to get those card fans running. with the fan blowing against the card, it seems to have a better chance at running fine at startup.. just looks kinda stupid..

Thats an indication that the VRAM is going out. Locate your receipt from where you bought the card. Did you register it for warranty at the time of purchase like you should have? Most cards are 2 year with some being 3 year warranty so you may have warranty left yet.
