New firmware is a failure.  Back to Direct3D device removed crashing again.  The 86.04.5B.00.8A is still better and it's made by a 3rd party... why is your vbios so bad MSI?
 
Have you checked the driver version and the GPU frequency? That will be good if could bring more details. Because it is hard to determine that you are facing a VBIOS problem, driver issue or the program bug without further info.
 
If want to contact with MSI support, check with following link.
How to contact MSI?

Below is a copy from piriform speccy that gives a lot of details about the graphics including the 5 different frequency levels of the card.  I am using the latest nvidia drivers (notebook version) 378.66.  The 378.77 hotfix didn't include the notebook version so I haven't updated to it.

All direct3d intensive applications that I own crash on both of your vbios (witcher 3, arma3, BF4).  There is a thread dedicated to this on your forums here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threads/280126

There is a debug vbios that worked but it massively down clocked your card, and then a vbios showed up on a chinese website that works well enough but a few tiny micro stutters.

Below is with the 3rd party (chinese written I believe) 86.04.5b.00.8a  This one never crashes, temps are never above 56c.

I would suggest you contact with MSI for checking VBIOS details and frequency info.

Sorry for the confusion but aren't you the person I should be in contact with?  The Australian MSI service centre contact number is permanently engaged so where else am I to go?
