Asus Strix 980 - crashing continue - GTA V

Hello.
Its my second topic here, because i am thinking that my card is really unstable.
First Far Cry 4 is crashing display driver very randomly. ( sometimes i can play many hours , sometimes crash after 5 minutes ).
Black screen and Application stopped . Then i saw on events: Nvlddmkm Display driver stopped responding and has recovered. I blame Far Cry 4,ok, nevermind. Many users get TDR crashes in FC4 only.
But today TDR crash happened first time in GTA V.
So what now? I have random ( very rarely ) driver crashes in FC4 and today i notice my first TDR in GTA V.
I am using newest 350.12 WHQL. Is card really unstable? Also i can run 12 hours Unigine Heaven Extreme without crash.I played Crysis 3, Watchdogs, Metro Last Light many hours without crash too.
But today second game ( GTA V ) and TDR crash , makes me really worried. Thx

My card is Asus Strix 980 ( OC BY FACTORY only ) and
4790K stock.
Psu is Corsair 750 RM.
Thx for any suggestions.

Yes i run memtest without errors. SuperPi without errors. And Prime95 ok.

Strange i can run Unigine heaven for 12 hours without crash. And other games fine.


But on GTA V i get today first TDR:( . Screen just momentary freez, app crash and event viewer says its display crash.


Far Cry 4 tdr are game issue so i dont worry. But GTA V.

There should be a new vBIOS for the Strix GTX 980. Run GPU Tweak and see if your GPU is running the latest vBIOS.

Sorry i didnt write this. GTA V is not crashing regularly display driver ( nvlddmkm ). It crashed TDR only once of being in game 8 hours.

Its related to hardware or game\drivers?

I run 3dmark 11 Extreme for 1 hour no issues. Heaven Extreme 10 hours no issues. Crysis 3 no issues, Metro LL no issues...

I am using stock clocks. And drivers 350.12 WHQL. So what now i must downclock my card from stock clocks ?
Sometimes it will play for a short length or time (say an hour) and have a driver crash.
Other times I have played 8 hours straight without issue.
This problem is intermittent, I can find no reason with my limite

I run memtest and my memory was giving errors after 1 run. I bought new memory and they run ok now 🙂 I think that TDR errors was because of bad memory?
