I find it more than strange that I can't run Time Spy or Firestrike anymore even with just +100 clock and +0 memory yet I just tried Heaven for the first time.
Yes, that's +110 AND +500 with no issue and here's the result at extreme settings:
I reinstalled 3Dmark/Time Spy twice from Steam. Made no difference.
That is similar to what I get with the latest couple of driversI find it more than strange that I can't run Time Spy or Firestrike anymore even with just +100 clock and +0 memory yet I just tried Heaven for the first time.

Ya the last few driver sets seem to have new issues for a lot of people. However, in my case I went back to 372.90 where I had no issues with 3DMark before and it's now crashing with the mildest of GPU OC. I even deleted the Steam version and installed the Guru3D stand alone version of Time Spy/Firestrike and I still crash.
Does anyone know if Time Spy/Firestrike are more stressing on the GPU than Heaven? I'm thinking maybe yes.
PS: Dude, does my 3809 score go on the table?
I think Heaven is the toughest benchmark there is (I`m no expert) but there are so many different graphics, so much movement, so many lighting changes, my Ti hit 80c and I only overclocked it +165
You`re crashing with an EVGA FTW 1080 ??? That`s sad, they had issues with the the FTW in the past. I`d get right on the phone with EVGA, tell them what`s going on and ask why, there`s no excuse for that.
Unless the benchmark software companies are just not keeping up.
EVGA and Corsair are 2 great no questions asked companies. :)
It is just so annoying when you have to RMA a card, at least you will get a brand new one, EVGA is good about that, but if it were a EVGA PSU you get a re certified unit, and I absolutely hate that, same thing with a Asus motherboard, you`ll never get another brand new one if something goes wrong with yours unless you buy a brand new one.
