Hello, fellow enthusiasts. I have some concern about the 1080ti. I purchased this card (the Gigabyte Aorus Extreme Edition) about a month ago, and since then I've notice several problems, and before you ask, airflow is plentiful, temps are fine, of course I uninstalled and reinstalled my driver, and no I don't want a cookie.
Specs (that may matter) are:
4790k @ 4.6 and stable
Gigabyte Aorus Extreme Edition 1080ti (no OC)
16 gigs of ram
Asus vii hero
850 evo ssd
750 watt PSU
Windows 10 home creators edition
I think that's all that might be relevant (not here for a d*** measuring contest about who has the best fans lol)
TLDR (longer explanations at the bottom)
1st PUBG has waves of terrible performance.
2nd Rocket League seems like frame timings are a bit off and I get almost constant ¼ second hitches and stutters, and gsync seems to not work anymore on Rocket League with XB27OHU Acer monitor (this could be creators update related though).
3rd If I leave a game running while afk for a while it will freeze.
4th I get random freezes or just straight crashes in all games that use the gpu at full capacity.
5th Most games that aren't triple a titles play a bit stuttery, even though the frame count is normal, but triple a titles seem to play flawlessly (until they freeze or crash anyway).
6th My 980ti (Gigabyte Extreme Gaming) that I put back in is working fine on all games and with none of the issues of the 1080ti, EXCEPT the sudden non functionality of gsync in Rocket League.
I have already rma'd this card back to newegg, due to the crashing with no overclocking (not even running the card in OC mode), and I've seen reports of others having this issue with some of the cards, but my concern is, could all of these random issues be due to getting a “faulty card” it doesn't seem like this all is the fault of the gpu to me. Maybe there are still driver/compatibility issues that need to be ironed out? Maybe there is a flaw with gpu boost on these cards? Maybe Gigabyte flopped with their custom PCB's this go around and its somehow causing these random little issues? Maybe I'm just overthinking a faulty card?
1st PUBG is the worst. While playing this game I get really bad waves of performance drop. Its hard to describe, but its like for 20 seconds it will look like 10fps, and my backlight on my monitor will barely noticeably flicker just a bit brighter and just a bit dimmer it time with the fps lag, then for about 5 seconds it will run as expected and smooth as that game can run, then back to 10 fps for 20 more seconds and so on... All the while, my fps counter on MSI afterburner shows a normal frame rate with no record of the dipping.
2nd TLDR is sufficient
3rd TLDR is sufficient
4th These crashes are the kind that won't let me close the program and I have to hard reset my pc.
5th It seems like its either dropping frames, duplicating frames, or the timing of the frames is off. I don't get the usual input lag feeling that comes with low fps, I just miss information. I understand that most non triple a titles aren't usually very optimized but its not doing this on my 980ti.
6th TLDR is sufficient
If anyone else is having any issues similar to these with this card, (or even better with another brand of 1080ti) please explain
Any help/theories will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
