    Hi,
    I don't know if this is the right forum to post (Drivers section) but i will try it anyway.
    Brand new Aorus 1080 Ti, Windows 10 creators update and latest driver.
    The game crashes after 5-10 minutes with the error: your rendering device is lost. application closing.
    In windows event log i have a warning that the display driver stopped working and was recovered.
    The issue exist in latest WHQL and 2 older drivers.
    Now, other games that i play i have no issues at all (no crash or lag).
    Tried even clean install of windows but nothing.
    Could be hardware issue?

    I have no issues in Overwatch with latest drivers.

    Try underclocking with MSI ab. Also check temps

    IIRC Overwatch is extremely sensitive to VRAM overclock, yours seems to run @11448MHz out of the box so try downclocking it to stock 11k. Also set in-game scaling to fixed 100%

    In my case game runs stable only if I reset memory clocks to factory defaults. This is the only game that has this problem but it's not crushing like yours, just becomes... green:3eyes:

    Not my screenshot but looks kinda like this.

    Yes OW is very sensitive at Overclock i can confirm this, all the games runs very stable at 2090mhz and 12000mhz (both watercooled and at 51ºC) the game still crashes with those very cool numbers.

    So even if you have WC you need to play that game at stock (FE stock not custom factory stock), to run the game nice.

    And i can re-confirm this with my old 980 crashed at 1560mhz and 8000mhz vram, needed to run at 1480mhz, with pascal is incredilble more unstable with OC.

    Not necessary to run stock, just make sure you are stable.

    You can use OCCT to scan for memory errors on OC.

    I run 2101/12ghz memory at 1.05v and it's stable.

    Btw some cards are more unstable with certain bins so even extra volts won't help.

    Occt long time i don't use that, thanks for reminding me that tool exist but with a 1080ti sli even in stock i think is enough for overwatch with a PG279Q.
