It wouldn't freeze all of the time, just once every three or four matches. Alt-Tabbing twice got me back into the game every time. While I was Alt-Tabbing, I could spot the message in the lower-right corner saying that the graphics driver had crashed and rebooted itself. Once I set it below a certain overclock, the problem stopped and hasn't occurred again.
When people have this problem, I recommend using software like EVGA Precision X or MSI Afterburner to down-clock your GPU and Video Memory speeds (yes, both) by 30 MHz to see if that stops the problem or makes it happen less often.
It is not uncommon for a factory or manual overclock to become unstable as the graphics card ages. It is also not uncommon to have brand new factory-overclocked graphics cards be not completely stable. They don't test every one before it leaves the factory -- it would be too expensive to do so.

its a common problem after some patches its hapens a lot more.
i got use to it a loooooooonnnnnnnnnnggggggg time ago XD bad habit should have report it.
i know around 25-30 ppl afected by it from 100 + + +

By the same token, Aren't most GPUs these days one part that's had some of it's functionality shut off to limit it's abilities? [this is an oversimplification] For example, the GTX 780ti is a fully unlocked GK110, while the original 780 and GTX titan are partially locked. Wouldn't the manufacturer *HAVE* to test them in order to classify them into binned tiers so they can be branded, packaged, and sold?

Example:
GPU Clock Offset -- if +5 now, move to -25
Mem Clock Offset -- if +50 now, move to +20
The GPU speed could be the cause, or the Video Memory speed could be the cause, which is why I recommend reducing them both to see if it helps. If it does, you can leave them like that. Or you could do what I would do and increase them both by 5 MHz, test for 20 matches, and if no problems, increase by 5 MHz again, then test again ... until you run into the problem again. Then back off by 5 MHz and leave it there.
If you find that the final speeds that work without problems are in the negatives, and the graphics card is within its warranty, you can request an RMA from the manufacturer. Negative numbers mean that it's not working at the default speed (default speed would be 0 on the sliders), so there is something wrong in the graphics card hardware.

Nope. The individual components (GPU itself, maybe memory chips) might have a quick test or two run so they can be "binned," but most of them are not fully tested. Only a small number of them (maybe 1 in 100 or 1 in 1000 depending on the component) actually have a full battery of tests done. If the one passes all of the tests, that whole batch is assumed to be good. If the one fails the tests, the whole batch is sent back to be "re-binned." That's the way everything in the computer hardware world is -- CPUs, mainboards, graphics cards, USB drives, hard drives, SSDs, etc. Manufacturers would need triple the number of employees if they actually tested every single component.

I don't have any of these problems your experanicing however i do have a high end gaming rig, My suggestions would be is go into control panel in Windows look for Administrative Tools and you want to look up Event Viewer - this will contain entire history log of everything that happens on your computer. In event viewer look up windows logs it will be top left side corner in list this will show you what is happening time your problem occurred
What to do take note of the time and date that problem occurs in the Windows logs it will tell you what's is happening when you are experiencing these problems.
Also may be a good Idea to Update your Graphics Drivers.
It is possible you may have another program or process running in the background which may be draining resources in the background i.e Anti virus doing a scan or something draining your resources.

Give it a try my well work for you. If you still get it turn motion blur off.
Hope this helps.

Just because "a good portion of the community"** is having a similar problem doesn't mean it isn't hardware-related in your case -- especially since you admit to overclocking using Precision X.
**Note: It isn't actually common at all, and only a very small portion of the community is having problems like it. Besides, it's entirely possible that every single problem of this type is related to GPU speed. Graphics cards can have problems even when not overclocked.

Hi Summon3r
I should point out that overclocking hardware can lead to system stability issue, way to trouble shoot is ask your self before overclocking were you getting this problem with freezing ? if the answer is yes I would probably should rest your clock value.
The key thing to remember is when you change something always ask yourself did i have this problem before the changes I have made.
