Gtx 1080 Xtreme boost clock stuck at low speeds after PC has been idle few days.

[kalniel]

It happened once after long idling my pc.And then core clock throttle from 1990mhz to 1285mhz. Restart pc fixed. And this issue never comes back. I tried to reproduce issue by idling pc for 3 days and nothing.

Card on full boost is stable, no crashes.

You have to remember that to RMA the card, the shop will need to prove to the manufacturer that there is a fault. So they need to be able to reproduce it quite easily. If you can't see the error again after 3-days idle then it's really unlikely the shop will be able to either. Especially given that their software environment will likely be different to your own (unless you supply a VM I suppose.. though I don't think they're an accepted gaming environment yet - but even then ruling out a software error is quite an ask).

So, assume it's a software bug and either forget about it, or take the measures I suggested in my first reply to reduce software power state change issues.

So during 2 weeks i cant reproduce issue.I left few times pc for 3 days in idle and still nothing. Maybe i must left pc idle longer then? What is your opinion ,try to rma? or just ignore that single occurance?

If you've failed to reproduce the issue after several attempts, just ignore it. Certainly don't RMA - if you can't reproduce it the manufacturer/retailer won't be able to, they'll send it back "no fault" and you'll have to pay for shipping and possible an admin charge.

Update. Left pc for 3 days in idle.Today back from work. Throttled occured,screen:





Core: 1163mhz from 1990mhz

memory:1152mhz from 1251mhz




No driver crash in logs.

GPUZ: PWR LIMIT



And yes i am sure its not my mobo,because on 980 Ti never happened this. So definitely its not my PSU issue or mobo issue.
Card i think is ok because many peoples from GF forum and other forums with GTX 1080/1070 suffer from this issue, so my guess its the drivers.



What is your opinion?
