GPU Overclock Issues?

[Gaungy]

So it's been about 2 months and I have finally started to do something and have been trying everything for the past month.

 

My brother is experienced with the magical world of GPU and CPU overclocking and decided to overclock my 1080, and now I have issues that he wont admit he did

 

I am having constant crashing in game such as PUBG and textures that look like there tearing at Mach 7

I have also had issues with random pixels appearing at anytime a frame loades/moves

 

PC SPEC

Cooler Master Case 5

I7-6700k

GTX 1080 FTW

32 Gigs Of DDR4 Trident

Asus Maximums Hero 5

Water Cooled CPU

 

If anyone has tips to help that would be great. I have already tried using the of course Driver Uninstaller (forgot name lol) 

I have tried reinstalling drivers many times and have also Uninstalled the Overclock program that comes with the GPU Precision.

To show to my brother that he messed up (he wont admit he did and calls me stupid)

I took an old GTX 960 from another PC and it works perfect I am having no flaws.

 

If anyone can help me and tell me steps to factory reset my GPU or just get rid of this that would be fantastic

Install MSI afterburner and tone it down

Just get all the settings back to default. Afterburner has a big reset button for that, and Precision X (I assume) should also have one.

Well those are common issues in bad overclocking. 

The random pixels are refered as "artifacts" and usualy mean lack of voltage. Could be GPU voltage or VRAM voltage depending on the effect. 

 

Roll back your overclock and find some guide on youtube. 1080's can most of the time handle past 2000Mhz with ease. But it's not guaranteed.

So I guess I found out the issue, My Graphics Card for whatever reason goes over the boost clock causing it to maybe overheat and crash on games

PUBG is terribly optimized atm, even without an overclock I crash quite a bit. Tone back your overclock and you should be fine.

As soon as you msg me I crashed x d

It's just inexperience, too high of an OC and not tested thoroughly. just reset to default in your GPU program of choice (afterburner, precision X, OC Guru etc) or reduce it in increments, testing as you go, to find your max stable OC.

It's not just that. Sometimes games just don't "like" overclocked gpus. I've run 24 hour stress tests on my OC and determined it stable, but the only game that crashes is PUBG, not sure why. Even the ASUS GPU Tweak overclock causes PUBG to crash nonstop.

[hammer3339]

different applications can also stress GPUs in different ways, that's why it good to use a range when testing an OC because sometimes a certain app can have stability issues. It's certainly a pain, worse for CPUs and production tasks.  

 

Even at 'stock' for a FTW it's a monster of a card, I've got the FTW2 ICX model and they are a great   GPU boost 3.0 boosts close to OC these days so you don't gain that much from overclocking anyway, more just the memory side of things.
