Time Spy - DirectX 12 benchmark test

Tommy, we don't all have 1080 TI's, I don't evan have a Pascal card, I have a Maxwell card and Sygnus21 has an AMD card. It isn't about which card you have whatever the cause is. We have different motherboards, chipsets, graphics cards and CPUs. I'm just trying to say it has nothing to do with which hardware we are running. It's happening to everything.

I don't have any problems and my system if OC'd to 2neat all hell".
3D Mark has had some updates lately, are all of you up to date?:

And I'm not overclocking.

@sygnus21, Drew I know you said you were crashing with your card at stock. Is your CPU overclocked? I just tried to run it with my card stock. I crashed within 5 seconds of the benchmark starting. It did the same thing 4 times in a row. My CPU is all that is overclocked. It is perfectly stable. I can run AIDA, Prime, IBT or anything else with no problem. I can play any game I have with no problem. So, just on a whim, I went into BIOS and raised my Vcore by .015 and ran it again. It ran and completed. What was strange was that Firestrike crashed too before before I increased my Vcore. Afterwards it ran fine too. You may want to give that a try just to see.

I know my CPU is perfectly stable before I increased the voltage. Why increasing it made it run I have no idea unless it is something to do with the coding Mark 3D uses that you just have to power through. That is only a WAG, but the best I can come up with.

I mentioned in my first post on this that I wasn't overclocking. I haven't overclocked in years now. Just build and run at stock.

That said, when I DID try to overclock both GPU and CPU (bench purposes) 3DMark would definitely complain. And yeah, AIDA or others such as Haven wouldn't have issues.

I just think the program is a bit sensitive under Steam as I don't remember 3DMark ever crashing like this before the Steam version.

Thanks.

this goes deeper than we think because all of us are experiencing the same thing and we all have 1080ti's maybe our PCI Lanes being overvolted by the card i have no idea but it has to be something with our cards

For the record, I'm running an AMD R9 Sapphire Fury, not a 1080ti. And as mentioned, this isn't a recent occurrence (at least for me).
