Issues with 780ti overclocks

     So I recently bought Advanced Warfare because of the reports of it being a good PC port. I began by playing multiplier. My 780ti Direct CUii from Asus was on a fairly low overclock (I don't think I got a very good overclocker...). At around my 3rd match, my PC crashed to a black screen and the audio began to loop its self. That crash kept my PC running but I could not get it to respond off of the black screen, so I manually reset it using the front IO. I didn't think much about it at the time so I kept the same overclock and booted the game straight back up. Again after about 4 or 5 matches, the same thing happened except it reset itself that time. Upon reboot, it asked me if I wanted to run Windows in Safe Mode but I opted to run it normally.

 

     A few days later Nvidia released the driver that was optimized for the new CoD and I thought that was the fix. It was not. I'm trying to lower the overclock but it still crashes the same way from time to time. The original overclcok was running fine in most of my other games but sometimes games like BF3 would minimize and Windows would ask me if I would want to change the theme to save performance. I thought the 780ti was able to handle all game at max setting with no problem let alone Windows... Sorry for the long story, but I want to squeeze the most power out of my card. What should I do in terms of overclocking the card? Many thanks!

I am now seeing other posts with issues with the Nvidia's driver. I don't think my particular issue with my GPU is related to the driver as it happens in other games other then Advanced Warfare...

I have found COD:AW to be particularly sensitive to overclocks (ram very much so), Im stable in Valley at 1550mhz boost and 8,002 MHz ram yet in cod I have to run 1500 boost and 7,500 ram in order to remain stable.

 

There have been some instances of random crashes, I didn't have any problem in .44 but in the "ready for cod:aw" one I get about one crash to desktop every 3 hours, some direct3d error (not a driver crash, an application crash)

 

try rolling back your cards overclocks.

Sim Rig:  Valve Index - Acer XV273KP - 5950x - GTX 2080ti - B550 Master - 32 GB ddr4 @ 3800c14 - DG-85 - HX1200 - 360mm AIO
