well i must say ive been viewing around for the longest. first time poster.
i have been having a issue since day 1 of BF4. the issue is countless TDR's with my 2 650 TI BOOST SSC 2GB Cards from eVGA. however, during the BETA of BF4, not a single TDR occured.
foremost, i am a Tier 2 Certified Hardware Specialist. ive run down the damn near entire list of diagnostics. ive tested the GPU's and VRAM with OCCT and my PC Doctor kit to the max.
Memtest86+ has run 5 full passes 100% pass
Intel's CPU Diag has run 12 passes 100% Pass
Motherboard and all components for 3 full passes = 100% Pass
OCCT ran for 1.5 hours in Mem Check mode + Full Screen - 100% Pass
Precision X is set for MAX Power target, i did have MSI. but it appears that was not the reason as one suggested in BF4 Forums.
Windows has been washed 3 times now testing bad driver theories, sfc /scannow, DXDiag... the works for software tests = all pass
i have forced a downclock of the mem and core clocks to reference 650 specs. even below 650 Ti specs = TDR
SLi or no SLi = TDR
one card or both = TDR
i have a 4.0 clock on the 3770K CPU, i have removed and tested = TDR
a Hardware engineer friend of mine suggesting reflashing the cards with the latest BIOS, which was already on the cards. i have done so, one card at a time.
i have tested my PSU and monitored in both loaded and idle power states.... all rails are in very tight normals.
BF4 has been downloaded twice now
i have a GPU-Z log id like to have someone look at. this was just logged during the BF4 test of which it took no more than 5 minutes to cause the TDR. i noticed on my second monitor PERFCAP Reason showed a VReL and was Blue in the sensors tab. for a few seconds. but returned to the UTIL mode a mere 20 seconds before the TDR. i do have a GCORE bump as part of the test... mV is set for 950. but it appears that the card despite Precision X set for 950, is bumping to 1.137. could someone give me a hand here? if i cannot fix this, i will RMA the cards in both, and if eVGA cannot replace them, will bump me to 660 TI's
Thanks
EDIT: Apologies.... system specs:
