"Fatal DirectX Error 11000002" or computer lock-up

[FromTheInternetz]

I seem to have fixed this issue for me. After checking the GPU statistics in Afterburner I noticed that my card has been voltage-bound quite a few times. So I unlocked the voltage slider and set it to 100% (if you have decent cooling this won't hurt but I'd still check the temperatures after doing that).

Two effects: One, my card boosts even higher (up to 2075MHz (2025MHz before), which is pretty high for a 1080 Ti). Second, it's actually cooler than with lower voltage. I can't really explain it myself, but there are posts on hardware forums describing why too low voltage will actually run the card hotter when it's overclocked.

I've run the Stormblood benchmark for 6 hours straight now at the highest settings and had zero crashes – I'd normally crash after 10 to 15 minutes in that.

I guess the issue here is that ZOTAC put such a high clock offset on my card that the voltage is too low when boosting – resulting in this crash. I haven't tested with my old 980 Ti yet, but I'm guessing it would have the same effect there. Maybe some kind of bug in the recent Nvidia drivers that cause the cards to try and go beyond the voltage limit causing a crash or something.

So if you want to, try that too. You have to unlock the voltage slider and the voltage monitoring in the Afterburner settings before you can change the value.

I don't yet know if this also fixes the other crash I've been experiencing (the one which lists the game's .exe over and over) but I'm crossing my fingers.

I'm currently on driver 382.53 which has been very stable for me in other games.
