Possibly affected RTX 2080Ti with overclock. Need assistance!
I upgraded my RTX 2080Ti by about +150 on the core clock. The GPU seemed stable during stress tests, benchmarks, and various games, though it failed in Borderlands 3 due to a DirectX error after some playtime. It's worth mentioning I experienced this issue multiple times before attempting an overclock. My friend also faced the same problem without ever overclocking. Now, whenever I launch any game or benchmark, crashes typically occur with a DirectX error as soon as rendering begins. I've attempted several troubleshooting steps:
- Restarted the PC
- Reset clocks to defaults
- Underclocked the GPU core significantly (helped Heaven run without issues)
- Reinstalled the Nvidia driver
- Rolled back the Nvidia driver
- Used the system file checker tool from Microsoft support
- Shut down the PC, removed power, held the power button for 30 seconds
- Reset BIOS to default settings
- Reconnected the GPU
I believe I didn't harm the GPU, as per my understanding and the information I've gathered. I've managed a modest overclock compared to others I've seen, and temperatures stayed below 73°C.
Since then, Heaven has run in DirectX 9 with minimal settings for a few seconds without major issues, though it still shows some artifacts. FurMark also ran briefly with noticeable artifacts.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, and thank you ahead of time.
When mentioning compatibility with lower memory speeds, it seems the issue lies with the card itself. Which RTX 2080Ti model is affected?
