Nvidia cards crashing: "GPU is lost"

[bathrobehero]

I keep getting this on a couple of 1080 Ti's randomly:



Sometimes it happens to only one card, sometimes they all fall together and flatline in MSI Afterburner.

Happens in both 3 and 4 card 10870 Ti rigs on a 1300W EVGA PSU with powered USB risers and even on a rig with only 1 card.

Seem to happen more frequently when the power limit is at 100% instead of around 70-80% but it might just be a coincidence.

The cards are only around 65°C.

Any suggestions what could cause this?

I have a lot same problem but only when i close a windows or change algo ... it's strange ...
Contrariwise i have no problem when the hdmi is plugged in motherboard ...

If I said you are  a f..king  m...n    for running the cards at 100%

would you be insulted?

Mind you I asked if I said that  while it looks like I said it  I did not.

So don't be insulted

Set the cards at 80% or less and your problems are solved.

Gigabyte AORUS 1080 Ti cards.

Efficiency is not everything. While you lose out on some efficiency on 100% power limit or even higher, you earn more.

Besides, setting cards to 100% doesn't mean they will always use 100% power, most algos don't go anywhere near that, more like 70% but for some power hungry algos it allows the cards to eat more and produce more.

Bumping this since it happens all the same with lower power limits.

I'm running a few 1080 TI rigs myself, specifically  a 7-card 1080 TI ZOTAC Amp extreme rig (1050w-1050w-1200w PSU's), and a 6 card 1080 TI Gigabyte gaming OC rig (1300w-1050w PSU's).   I have never gotten these rigs to run stable on anything more than an 85% power limit.   It maybe my PSU's, are my home circuit - but that's just my experience.   Also, a typical surge protector will only hand 1875w, so make sure you are using two if your total wattage is surpassing that per rig.
