I'd completely forgotten about this thread... the issues came back for me after a little while.
Turned out it was due to RAM compatibility with my board. I was running the XMP profile so I downclocked it a bit ( from 3866 to 3600 ) and I've not had any problems since

Nah, I already tried it. I tried all versions from the most current to about 5 versions back, and it made no difference. Used ddu every time and repeated my tests.

Now on the new card, everything is back the way I was using it before, no underclocking and no tdr reg tweaks.

It's definitely an issue with the card.

While that makes it a tad more confusing, it at least helps narrow down the overall issue. I know now if it's not firewall related, that it's hardware related, and to focus on that side.

At least now I can run down a list of hardware/software repair methods.

1] Uninstall and Re-install the graphics card driver
2] Run the Hardware Devices troubleshooter
3] Give access to graphics hardware to applications
4] Disable TDR checker

You don't need to do any of these, just posting it here for others reading the thread. And of course, those steps are just a general trouble shoot.
