possible bad gtx 980ti

[Galdorf]

Gtx 980 ti latest drivers, latest bios on motherboard, latest firmware on SSD windows 10 fully updated tried running furmark/3dmark machine locks up hard or resets no BSOD.
Also tried older drivers no luck.
Used DDU in safe mode also updated all chipset and motherboard drivers.

Pixelates at 4 mins into tests running at 78C

"Pixelates at 4 mins into tests running at 78C"

It may be much hotter than that as the temperature sensor would be a little unreliable on an ageing card.

Stressing it is causing it to overheat or a capacitor/transistor is breaking down under load.
Your PSU may also be failing to supply enough gumbo when the card is under load.

Have you tried a different video card?
Tried a known good PSU?

Why are you stress testing it anyway?

stress testing to see why it crashes only during gaming also the power supply is not very old and the video card has less than a year of runtime 850 watt thermaltake bronze 80 tested on another gtx 980ti with no issues whole system is less than a year old.
What is even more odd more stress testing i seem to do it seems to go longer without crashing maybe the heatsink is not dissipating heat runs longer when i ramp up fan to 60%.

crashes only during gaming

...indicates that it is crashing during high current draw, which points to a dodgy PSU (I've had new PSU's fail) or components on the card breaking down.
I think the overheating point is still valid as well.
Have you tried another 980Ti in THIS computer?

This doesn't make any sense (to me).

Swap the ram just to rule it out. I've had systems where everything runs fine until in a 3d benchmark and it was the ram (even though passed memtest)

So....as a test, ramp that sucker up to 100% and see what happens. I think you might be in for a heatsink removal and reinstall with new/better compound.

I think the lack of punctuation changes the whole context of the statement - which as a consequence - didn't make sense.

Indeed. Not the first time I've given up trying to interpret someone's stream-of-consciousness posts. Come on, people, help us out a little, will you? Present company excepted, of course!
