Game crashing on GTX 780 SC w/ ACX

[Nate_007]

Hey guys,

Anybody know anything about this issue? Basically earlier today I purchased an Evga GTX 780 SC w/ACX to replace my SLI setup. After installing the card inside I went to test it out (all stock) with some games and it would crash within few minutes on any games whether DX9 or 11. Tried re-installing the drivers and still the same, googled around and I only found one guy with similar issue. Basically it ended up being a faulty card (bad binned?) and could not handle the high factory overclock , so he returned it and once he got the new card everything just went fine.

So could it just be the card? I am currently using my single GTX 580 right now, and no problems with games at all. I have the 780 all packed up, so should I just return in tomorrow? I'm just too lazy to mission back to the store. Any advice?

It's obviously a bad card. RMA it. Be glad that the card f*cked up quickly and not when the warranty expires. Grab 2 GTX 760 4GB SLI instead.

Thanks for the reply man, yeah basically its so weird because when the game crashes there's NO errors whatsoever. I'm actually downsizing my PC, so that's why I went for a good single card. My goal is to convert it to console size PC lol. Back to topic, so anybody else agree that I should just return it? No one else has knowledge about this issue? Maybe a rare issue, lucky me

Dang, I guess I am really the only one here with the problem lol. Well i'll be taking it back today after work, so I guess I will report back about the result hoping that this can help someone in the future.

SOLVED!! (Cross-fingers lol)

Well anyway so I went back to store and got it exchange no questions ask. I just finished playing some games and no crashes anymore whatsoever. Ran Firestrike benchmark and I'm getting "Its Over Nine Thousand!" score, so seems fine there. Will keep you guys posted if something goes wrong.

So time to update my sig rig!
