Upgraded to 2080 Ti(s) - PC Randomly Lagging/Freezing

[lukeyboy89]

Hey guys, this issue is really doing my head in, this will be a long read and i really hope someone has a solution for me.

Original PC, running without issues:

- 8086K
- X Code
- 2080 Strix OC
- 4x8gb 4266 GSkill DDR4
- 1200W Asus Thor
- 2x 500gb 970 Pro's

I upgraded my 2080 to a 2080 Ti and also purchased a new motherboard, SSD and memory. This system was giving me issues.

System:

- 8086K
- XI Extreme
- 2080 Ti Strix OC
- 4x8GB 4400 GSkill Royal
- 1200W Asus Thor
- 2x 1TB 970 Evo Plus

Symptoms:

- Screen will lock up and recover after a few seconds
- Audio will cut out and either recover or reset my audio device to my monitor (instead of headset)
- Happens in both gaming and browsing, but more prominant during gaming.

So... i thought.. hell i must have gotten one of those "bad" 2080 Ti's, even though mine had Samsung GDDR6, so i purchased another 2080 Ti to use while i RMA the current, and run SLI when i get my RMA back...

Same issue. I can't possibly have gotten 2 bad 2080 Ti's? So then... i went on replacing components in my rig.

Current setup (issue occuring still):

- 9900K
- XI Apex
- 2x 2080 Ti Strix OC (happens with both, even one at a time)
- 2x16GB 4000Mhz GSkill DDR4
- 1200W Asus Thor
- 2x 1TB 970 Evo Plus (Dimm.2 RAID0)

The only thing the two systems have in common is the PSU... but i had absolutely 0 issues when i was running my 2080.

I have:

- Reseated GPU's
- Reformated
- Flashed different Bios' (back to stock 2080 Ti Strix OC bios now)
- Tried various drivers after uninstalling with DDU
- Using 2x 6+2pin power connectors for each card
- Plugged the PC into its own wall socket.

This is driving me nuts, i have never experienced an issue like this before.

Please, someone, help me!

Uninstall Rapid Storage Technology by Intel.

You have HDD in your system ? Try turning off indexing and caching.

Yes I have 3x 6TB WD black for storage.

Do you really think Intel rapid storage can cause this issue? Why is that? How do I disable caching?

[lukeyboy89]

I'm also using Intel Rapid Storage in my Bios for Raid, will that have an effect?

There's a lot of nuances in your build. In that case, this approach might not work.

Yea it worked for me and one other guy reported that after deleting IRST it stopped.

Just try it out, if it works it works, if it doesn't then install it back on.

I "THINK" you RAID setup "SHOULD" work without IRST just maybe with decreased speed.

Hello Lukeyboy89,

Maybe this will help You. For me helped. I got shuttering and lagging in Destiny 2 for example
