Gigabyte RTX 3080 Aorus Master Rev 1 Crashing constantly

I am getting constant GPU crashes (black screen, audio continues, video does not recover). So far I've been unable to determine the cause. I have up to date NVidia drivers, have re-installed drivers, have re-installed the game. The temps on the GPU and memory junction don't look too high. Once I get the black screen I have to restart the computer and re-launch the game. Seems to happen more frequently in Witch Queen content. Anyone else have this issue and/or figured out a fix or work-around?

  • So update, this turned out to be a temperature problem after all. I used HardwareInfo64 and found that I had a hotspot temp that was hitting 105c regularly and peaked at 107c during a benchmark with 3dMark (had to turn power to 65% using EVGA precision X1 to keep the crash from happening near-instantly when benchmark started). The gpu itself and memory junction were still at acceptable temps, so I'm not sure what temp sensor was reporting this temp. Solution ended up being to disassemble the gpu and remove the old thermal paste, re-paste it, and re-assemble it (ensuring the four screws in particular holding the heatsink to the gpu chip itself were as tight as they could go). I may have left them a little more loose than they should have been last time I re-assembled (I replaced all the thermal pads on this card [and added more] as memory junction temps hit 105c out of the box and caused thermal throttling). Anyway, I'm running rock solid now at 144 fps most of the time at 1440p, with all temps looking much lower (hotspot temp dropped 25-30c). Hope this helps someone, cheers!
