your image displays a 350-watt load with a fan running at approximately 1100rpm, which corresponds to about 30-40% speed.
that was done just before the whole system started failing, all the IDs were just opening a game and letting it load. It looks like it’s not working properly if it reaches maximum temperature after 30 seconds. I’ve seen the same issues from undervolting and power limiting the card too—temperatures spike and then everything crashes. I feel like I’m repeating this process again and again. I ran this test about ten times with different voltages and settings, and once I pushed the fans to full speed, the outcome was identical.
Updated the paste on the GPU; thermal performance improved but the card kept failing. I think I need to go shopping now. Apologies to anyone who came here hoping for results.
Final update, the new 4070 super I managed to get quickly is functioning perfectly, 100%. The conclusion is that the 3080ti has suffered permanent damage to one of its VRAM chips.
I arrived late and receiving an error code 0x117 (VIDEO_TDR_TIMEOUT) usually points to a problem with either the GPU or its driver. This suggests the GPU driver crashed and couldn't restart, indicating possible GPU damage. The graphical issues also hint at a failing GPU. If the VRAM was affected, it might be worth checking for available tools to test or replace it, depending on the manufacturer. Replacing the GPU seems to have resolved the issue, clearly identifying it as the main cause.
