Problem with GPU Tweak 2 presets

Hi,

I've been using my GTX 1080 Ti with no issue for months using the "Gaming" preset in GPU Tweak 2.
Actually, not exactly the "Gaming" preset. I created on myself with the same settings, but I tweaked the fan curve for it to be a bit more aggressive as I'm not concerned by the noise.

My problem is that when I try to use the "Overclock" preset, without changing anything (with or without my custom fan curves), games suddenly crash within 10 minutes. Never had the problem with normal preset.

The Overclock preset has +25 on GPU Boost Clock (from 1683 to 1708 MHz) and +90 on the memory clock (from 11010 to 11100 MHz).
While the "GPU Boost Clock" is set at 1708 MHz, my GPU actually goes all the way to 1960~, so I'm assuming the slider that says "GPU Boost Clock" is actually the "Core clock". Otherwise it wouldn't go higher than what I set it to.

I ran multiple GPU stress tests for 15 minutes each + some 3D mark benchmarks. With full load, the GPU reaches a maximum of 70C with both "Gaming" and "Overclock" preset. I do not get any problem during those stress tests. I get the same temperatures in game.

Can anyone help me understand why my games crash even though stress tests are passed so easy ?
Also, since I'm not manually overclocking, but just using a factory preset, isn't it supposed to run perfectly fine unless the GPU gets too hot ?

Any help appreciated, thank you.

Update:

i tried keeping the core clock on +25, but lowered the memory overclock from +90 to +80.
After this i played PUGB for 5 hours straight without crashing.

So..i think it is the VRAM? faulty card?

Hi guys. Can you please help me to understand. I'm former owner of 1070ti and now testing 1080ti (Not OC version 11G-Gaming).

So previously I useg GPU Tweak II on 1070ti, set the freq in the util and my GPU worked at this freq (1759Mhz) on full load. It was not fluctuating.

Now I'm testing 1080ti, and it seems strange. I set any mode from GPU Tweak II like OC or Gaming, (That is OC Mode - GPU Boost Clock : 1632 MHz , GPU Base Clock : 1518 MHz
Gaming Mode (Default) - GPU Boost Clock : 1607 MHz , GPU Base Clock : 1493 MHz) https://www.asus.com/us/ROG-Republic-Of-Gamers/ROG-STRIX-GTX1080TI-11G-GAMING/specifications/

And my card under full load works at 1900+ Mhz?! And its fluctuating. Why is that? It stops at 70-72 C with fan speed around 50%, so its kind of OK, but why? Does that means that ROM was altered?
