I don't see how expressing my experience and opinion is trolling but if that is how you want to see then you go for it; if anything it was khanmein telling me to give away my card that is the troll here . As for my chip, clocks, vram etc I can run any benchmark all day and sometimes play any game as long as I want and sometimes be playing the same game with crashing too much to want to continue. I am annoyed because there seems to be no rime or reason for the crashing. It doesn't seem to have to do with the game but just the random timing and believe me I have tried to pin down exact causes of the crashes but it doesn't seem to have any pattern. I have analyzed the event viewer and have learned with Pascal (which is the first card I have ever had to do this) to never play games when coming out of sleep as mostly I just crash. I always just shut down my PC when I am done with it now and fresh boot it when I am ready to use it while before I would just put any PC of mine to sleep and have no problems once woken up playing games. It is curious because so many people crash in FF while I don't yet I have all these other problems and when you go through the nVidia threads on various sites (including this one) you see people with Pascal complaining by far the most. I have also searched for an updated bios and tried everything I know in order to make it rock solid like all the PCs I have ever owned before. I don't think it is a problem with the card or my other hardware as I have ran them through as the diagnostics and think it is a problem with nVidia's software and Windows. As for the 1070 Ti being new it just a variant on existing architecture so I don't see why that would be an issue. All the did was take the bad 1080s, cut them down and slapped on worse RAM so the 1080 wouldn't be cannibalized. I would have returned it if it wasn't rock solid in every benchmark I have ever thrown at it which is how I have always tested my cards. I love the card when it works but I have had WAY, WAY more problems with this one than any other card I have owned. It sucks and I wish it wasn't the case but that is my predicament.
Maybe I am doing something wrong. Maybe the software sucks. Maybe the card is too new as you suggest. Maybe something I am not catching is screwing it up. Whatever it is I haven't had this much frustration with a card before.
That's all.
Bold part already says you can't pin point it to something specific... but complaining about the NV GPU.
Did you try another card to see if it happens too with an older NV card? Older drivers? AMD GPU? Same driver / GPU in another system? What did you do to see where the issue is? Maybe we can help you find it, like TJ already is trying to do.
Honestly, I've had sleep issues with older PCs too, and at those times they were definately not caused by a GPU driver but by windows...
And coincidentally, I did watch twitch over FF on Saturday and had no crashes whatsoever with my 1080Ti Pascal card / latest drivers. I guess I am a magician!

I'm at 390.85 atm, its ok too, but didn't play much.. Also it needs modding.
Imo 390.77 is the first "stable" r390 branch driver, early 390.6x was a disaster.
Is this concerning the 390.77 with your GTX980TI!? I'm using 387.92 for a while now without any problems. I'm on win10 Pro 1709 and have Game Bar disabled through the game menu in windows settings(I find this the most responsive gameplay experience imho

Yes, I went back to this 390.77 after a while, 390.85 was ok but I had one random freeze in one of my fav games, that wasn't there with 390.77.
Will try this newest 391.01 in few moments.

Can anyone help me figure out why some of my games freeze for a few seconds and unfreeze during gameplay. Just experienced it on Titan Fall 2, Rise of Tomb Raider but not on Prey it seems. Very confused but what I saw is the GPU use drops to 0 during the freeze. How can I determine cause? Event Viewer doesn't show anything abnormal.
GPU not overclocked, closed Afterburner tested again and it still occurred. I am looking for some answers.

That's because it's a monitor issue triggered by Windows and has nothing to do with any GTX, 1080 or not.
