Wait, just so I can go along with your weird roleplaying, am I supposed to respond to you with or without the understanding that you're desperately trying to pull off the "i'm so chill I don't let anything get to me" act?

You have been called out, in the ways of old.
I would get the hassle out of the way and rma the card straight away, if the previous card was fine it does indicate a problem with the new one. If the replacement also blue screens that's when you know you potentially have an issue with another piece of hardware. Could be the psu if the 2080 drew significantly more power than the old card.

I had a factory overclocked evga 980 that was unstable and would lock up every few hours of gaming, causing the driver to reset and make whatever game I was playing crash to the desktop. RMAed it and the replacement was better but still did it at least once every few days. And it wasn't even happening at the highest frequency/power/load, at the time I was using a 60 Hz 1200p display with adaptive vsync, so quite often the card would crash at 70-90% power but would be fine at 100%. However I completely eliminated the issue by loading up MSI afterburner and just dragging the power target and voltage target to the maximum values without applying any further overclock (it boosted to 1.4 GHz out of the box anyway). I loaned the card to a friend and told him to do the same thing, it is still working perfectly fine to this day and never crashes on him.

Basically depending on the silicon lottery the the card may dip into voltages that are too low to be stable at a given boost frequency and it can be fixed by just globally tuning up the voltage.

I had to stop using Firefox on my system a few years back because it was throwing up blue screens related to Nvidia drivers.

I also had crashes and retarts under GPU load previously from a dying PSU, so it could also be power related.

EDIT: Whoops, I meant dying PSU. Fixed.

I never owned a nvidia card until now and I wanna buy a used 1080/ti, but these nvidia driver problems posts are scaring the gently caress out of me
That said how am I supposed to switch from amd to nvidia drivers? I'm thinking unplugging the internet cable so windows doesnt do some bullshit, uninstalling the amd drivers, switching the cards, installing the nvidia ones, then plugging the cable back in, would that be sufficient?

What PSU are you using? If I had to bet I'd say putting in a new, power hungry card probably is stressing your PSU while under load. You can try some burn-in GPU stress tests to mitigate some driver concern, but I'm pretty sure Power Supply is where I'd look.

If you have a beefy PSU laying around (or one you can "rent" from a local microcenter or something) that might be the quickest test. Opening a ticket with Nvidia is probably not a bad idea either though.

When my PSU was failing under load to a new GPU it wouldn't blue screen, just straight up shut down the whole system. Not to say that there's no way that it's a PSU problem here but I'm more inclined to believe it's a driver issue given that it's a brand new generation card.

There is not really any alternative to occasional driver issues; AMD and Nvidia both have their share, so don't let that discourage you from upgrading.

I swapped an AMD card with an Nvidia one, and running DDU was all it took for me to be start using my Nvidia GPU.

If you read the subreddit posts for the latest driver updates, you can usually suss out the most egregious drivers issues. Don't bother upgrading to a driver that's less than a week old unless it's for a new game you plan on playing.

I'd download the latest nvidia drivers and put them somewhere easily accessible. Then boot into safe mode w/o networking and use DDU to get rid of the AMD drivers. Then, instead of rebooting, power down, swap the cards, boot back up and install the nvidia drivers.

You could probably rule out the PSU being on the edge (if that seems likely, don't know the specs we're working with) by setting a power limit on the card, right?

i'll go back and respond to everything in a bit, but at the very least i don't think it's a power supply issue. i have an evga 850w and while i haven't actually mathed out my power consumption in a while, i do know my pre-2080ti would have been pretty adequately powered by even a 650w.

My 1000W PSU that was dying started having issues with my 980Ti just rendering the fancy backgrounds of Wallpaper Engine so yea, if you PSU is Old/Cheapo or just hasn't been tested recently against another one with those of you with GPU issues, I would highly recommend grabbing another to test with and see if that is your issue. No GPU should be BSOD'ing at stock settings due to load these days.

I threw that 1000W PSU into a work junk comp and it even locks up when I have a 8800GT running at high loads so yea, a PSU can be dying but not dead and really be making your life a living heck trying to figure out WTF is going on. Power issues are a PITA.

First it was my PSU (Which I replaced my CPU and RMA'ed my GPU before I did... Doh!) and then my UPS battery backup. So yea, keep your power delivery newer than 10 years and higher quality. (+1 for SeaSonic Prime's and their 12 year warranty).

I know it's not much to go on, but is there anything in event viewer? Any time I get a crash or BSOD, first thing I do is reboot & check there, filter out by critical & error only, then search on the errors it shows. I've had pretty good luck diagnosing both hardware & driver issues that way, but if you've already gone that route, the card is likely faulty.

Same, I just broke my last PSU on a 2080ti and this is what happened to me, and its logical. Also it would shut the computer down under lighter and lighter loads.

However I also had a bad PSU that didn't do that and damaged my motherboard, ram, HDD's, and video card because it didnt shutdown and just browned out the whole computer for a week. That event is why I'm so paranoid about PSUs though iirc that was an Antec Earthwatts super A+ premiumo quality piece of poo poo.

I don't see how that's possible when the PCIE slot is 75W max and 8-pin connectors are 150W max (so 375W max). Were they reporting power consumption at the wall?

That's the max sustainable, not what it would pull momentarily. As an aside, the 295X violated PCIe wattage limits for long periods of time.

Fwiw I blame the specific problem that I brought up on firefox more than Nvidia, but sometimes weird compatibility poo poo pops up. Every configuration is a little different, and sometimes things don't play well together.

If I were you, I'd unplug your ethernet cable, uninstall the AMD drivers with DDU, then shut down the PC. Swap cards, power on PC, then install your new Nvidia drivers. You should be good to go at that point.

Nice strawman but thats not what I said.
If you get crashes in one game and not another you OC to get the one you crash in stable. This gets the result of a 24/7 OC that works for every game that you play. Running a purpose built stress test will give you a stable OC that will let you run that stress test

By all means use a stress test as a baseline but dont imagine that you are getting a best or even a good OC if your goal is gaming.

The only way to ensure stability for a specific workload is to test with that workload. If you disagree you are detached from reality.

Every game will stress card differently, but whatever man. I'm not gonna stress over an extra 39mhz or so in every new program I try.

Turns out the hardware failure was in our brains all along.
I'm loving my 1070ti but I also had similar issues with hanging and crashing as some other posters. Think it was some form of driver conflict or the OC on my i5 bot being as stable as I thought since clearing the bios and doing a refresh install of windows seems to have fixed it.

I actually dont know, I need to look it up. I'm assuming thats system power from the wall but thats still pretty extreme in recent times. My 600 watt replacement seems perfectly happy with max OC on everything but I need to get my killawatt back home. I definitely killed the last 500 watt PSU though as it was running fine for a few hours then it was unable to even run a single frame on stock voltages, but I had suspicions it sucked and it was out of warranty and certainly less overall wattage than I was comfortable with anyways.

edit: Looks like review sites are reporting 400-450 with Furmark and the like. That seems about right to me. I'd be okay with a true momentary 600 watt spike but I feel like the OC limits should prevent that, voltage hardly changes. While I have just a 600 watt SFX PSU its a badass one after reading a JohnnyGuru review on it, it actually tests at platinum despite being rated gold and outperforms most PSU's regardless of size. I'm very happy with that because the PSU was definitely the sketchiest weak point of the whole system (SFX L 500 watt silverstone) and this corsair fills me with a bit of confidence. Somehow it pulls it off while being much smaller in size too

Probably, but harmless. All GPUs and CPUs can cause momentary (less than a millisecond duration) current spikes well into the multiples of the rated TDP, this is what the capacitors are for. The important thing is the average power over a second or two shouldn't exceed the specifications.
