I just recently purchased the 780 and have enjoyed the boost in frames over my 560 superclock, but I have run into a few issues. I do not know if they are specifically the card or what but I am becoming more and more concerned.
Earlier this week, while I was playing Borderlands 2, I had an issue with my display driver crashing. At the time, I was running 320.49. This happened about 4 times within that day alone and was the first time I felt that there might be an issue. Just tonight, I had issues with League of Legends locking up while playing ARAM. It sounded close to what its like whenever your CPU overclock goes unstable and makes that odd electronic buzz sound through the speakers, or at least that what it has always done to me. The game would freeze up for a second, then become responsive, then freeze again for 3 seconds or more, then about 10 seconds after is normal again. This happened about 6 times within 15 minutes.
I am writing this as I am playing games as its the easiest way for me to repeat the issue. This wasn't my first ARAM game either, but my 3rd and none of the other times did this happen. I have reset my GPU overclock from +80 +175 with 100% power target. My CPU is still at 4.5 as that has proven to be stable so far, but I might drop that soon too to truly test this issue.
I really don't want to RMA unless I have to and believe that most of these issues are always settings/user related and not the hardware. Just looking for help wherever I can get it before I start contacting EVGA. The system in my sig is what I am using. CPU is at 4.5 and ram is at 1600. I will be checking in periodically to report what I find and look at replies.
