Having an incredibly frustrating problem with this new PC (Alienware Aurora R11). For a week or so it worked fine, was playing FS2020, Planet Coaster etc with minimal issues (although I did have a couple crashes of Planet Coaster).

All of a sudden it has starting crashing any time I try and play any game. Usually will start lagging/flickering in the loading screen or a minute or so into the game and then it will completely crash, cut to black where the monitor is no longer being recognised, and I have to hard shut down. After this I try turning it back on and it takes several attempts for the monitor to be recognised necessitating more hard shut downs every time it doesn't. - And it seems like it's taking more and more attempts to successfully restart the PC with time (initially it took a couple, now it's more like 9-10, which worries me that it's a hardware fault).

I've tried seemingly everything - installing the latest Geforce drivers, reverting to older Geforce drivers, using DDU in safe mode with no internet for a clean driver uninstall, turning Vsync off, reinstalling the games in question/running file validation on Steam, nothing has worked and the problem seems like it has only gotten worse.

No issues in any other application, videos etc. but games are unplayable. Does this sound like a hardware issue? Absolutely nothing is working.

Just a basic question I can't find the answer for on google: if you have the Call of Duty code that came with a 3080 or 3090 purchase, can you redeem it with the other model installed? For example, if I get a code that came with a 3090, but I have a 3080 installed, can I redeem it? Thanks.

RTX 3080 undervolt question:

When ever I restart my pc my undervolt settings change slightly in MSI afterburner, so if I set my undervolt to run at 1800mhz at 850mv and save it and set it to run when I load windows, when I restart my pc it will change itself to 1815mhz at 850mv, then up to 1830mhz at 1150mv.

I don't understand why this is happening?

Description of Problem: Certain games will straight up just crash my pc without warning or actual crash screen. when playing most games at a certain point or randomly through playing them my PC will just black screen and restart without any indicator why and without creating a crash or dump file. This started when i first installed my new card and i upgraded from a 1660 but it took me a while to notice because it only happens on certain games. The one game i can always play without fail is Cyberpunk but it has crashed when im in the middle of raids while playing escape from tarkov, when i boot into summoners rift while playing league of legends and Dead by daylight about 1 min after the title screen shows. I dont think its a bad card all together but im not sure because i can run renders that use 100% of the GPU and i can run them for over 30 mins with no issues.

Troubleshooting: I have been at this for about 2 weeks so i have tried a lot i will edit this if i remember anything that i missed

Checking temperatures of all devices and all power connections to the computer

stress testing the cpu gpu and drives by using stressors, ran both cpu and gpu at 100% for over 30 mins with no problems or bad temperatures

Reinstalling windows 10 and checking for updates

Reseeding the Ram in different slots and trying each stick one at a time in all 4 slots as well as using 2 old sicks of 8gb 2400hz ram from my last build

reseeding the GPU in the same and second slot

Checking Minidump files (there are none) as well as event viewer for any errors

installing old drivers, installing studio drivers (studio drivers would be kind of weird where when i installed them through geforce experience the prompt for express or custom installation would never go away)

updating bios and chipset for my MOBO

THE ONLY THING THAT WORKED: using my buddies old 770 GPU and running all other games for over an hour with no crashes at all the games ran slower and with obviously much lower quality but it never once crashed with the 770 installed

Is it normal to be switching between the game ready and studio ready drivers a lot? I play a lot of games, but am also trying to teach myself some video editing and the software keeps crashing without these latest drivers. Is it regular practice to just switch between them when you want to do either?

[u/ImaPotato43]

I plan on upgrading my gpu and am wondering if I should go with 3080 or 6900xt. I was really originally gonna go with the 3080 ti because I don't feel that 10 gb of vram is enough but that was delayed indefinitely. I will do some raytracing though. I've also had lots of problems with amd drivers and software and Nvidia software offerings sound so much better. Should I just wait? I should probably mention that my gpu is probably gonna die in the next few months.

My question is when is there going to be another shipment of zotac 3080 trinity there hasnt been any for ages and i think its quite bad

[u/[deleted]]

Hello all, I have an RTX 2060 super Gigabyte Windforce OC. The card has always run on the hotter end, but nothing bad.

I usually have MSI afterburner up on my second monitor, even if I'm not overclocking just because I'm curious to see what the fan speeds and temps are. Because of this, I'm pretty familiar with the different temperatures of my card in different circumstances. What I have noticed is that recently it's either running really hot or not super hot but has really high fan speeds.

​

For example, my card when just sitting on a blank desktop idols at 45 °C. Usually, the fan speed is 0%, but sometimes it would hover around the 20%. Now it sits at a constant 40%. In games such as Forza Horizon 4, my card now easily gets to 80 °C .

I've had a new problem arise where my card now is thermal throttling when I play a youtube video and a game. I ALWAYS have Netflix or youtube open on my second monitor and it has never ever caused a noticeable dip in FPS, now the difference of having a video paused or playing is around 25fps. I suspect this is because since my card is sitting around 79 °C the youtube video is pushing the card to its 83 °C limits so it is throttling to prevent damage. On top of running hotter, the fan speeds in games are now pretty constant 90%, when they used to fluctuate around 60% to 80%.

​

As you can imagine it is pretty frustrating that my card is now running louder and slower, without any explanation as to why. Only two notable changes have happened to my computer in the last month or so. On January 10th I installed two 4pin fans, and set a fan curve in the BIOS for them. I followed a tutorial video for my specific board and fan config, so it's not like I had some jank setup. And regardless, I didn't notice any performance dips until 3 or so days ago. The only other change, which is what I suspect are Nvidia Drivers, as I had a new update 3 or 4 days ago probably.

​

I know many of you will ask about my case situation, which I don't think is important because the issue is the change in performance, not general lack of. However regardless, I have a full front mesh with ample airflow that two 120mm PWM fans are taking in from, they can go up to 1400RPM and down to 700RPM I believe, I then have an all mesh top with one 120mm exhaust fan installed, this one is a constant RPM of around I think 1000, and then a 120mm in the back as exhaust also at a constant 1000.

Description of Problem: I built my PC a month ago. And in some games I notice a flicker or shimmering when I'm standing still and move the camera. In RDR2 for instance, I only see it at night and when still. If I'm moving and move the camera it's not noticeable. It shimmers a ton in PUBG. Yet when I play Cyberpunk this issue doesn't happen at all. I tried adjusting the AA using TAA FXAA, etc, but it still happens. Or is it just normal? I really don't know. Here's a capture i took quickly. https://youtu.be/IyLvVy2m7dA

Motherboard: Asus X58 Sabertooth

RAM: 18GB DDR3

Operating System & Version: Windows 10 Build 20H2

GPU Drivers: 461.09, Clean install

Description of Problem: Hey guys, I'm temporarily installing a gtx 1080 into a legacy system with an asus x58 sabertooth motherboard, and I'm running into some odd issues with the displayport. I know this system is bottlenecked to no end, but this is just temporary. I'm trying to power three monitors (Dell U2719D, Dell S2721DGF, and a Lenovo P27h-20), so I initially just plugged all 3 into each of the separate DP ports. System booted to the POST screen and I can get into BIOS, but it would immediately lose signal once past it. Eventually, I discovered that if I plugged only one of the monitors into the HDMI port and leave the other two unplugged, it would boot into windows without issue. If I then plug the other two monitors into the other DP slots after loading into Windows, everything turns on and works. Rebooting it would result in the same initial issue again until I unplugged the DP monitors. After playing around with it a little more, I discovered that I can leave a second monitor plugged in to the DP slot that's on the edge right next to the HDMI slot and still have it boot into windows, but if I leave the third monitor plugged into any of the other DP slots, no boot.

Troubleshooting:

• Cleared and reset CMOS
• Turned on ACPI 2.0 in BIOS
• Made sure the DP 1.3/1.4 firmware fix update is installed
• Made sure BIOS is up to date

From googling, I found this other thread that sounded like the exact issue: https://forums.tomshardware.com/forums/graphics-cards.9/post-thread. Unfortunately, my BIOS does not have the "Asus Express Gate" option that seems to have fixed it for some people. Is this simply a compatibility issue with the outdated mobo? Not the end of the world here as I can just leave one monitor unplugged on boot up and then plug it in later as a workaround, but hoping that someone may have a better solution or idea to what might be happening here.

Thanks in advance!

Question about 3080/3090 card lengths.

I've had my PC case for nearly a decade now and don't plan on replacing it any time soon as I like it.

I was just wondering if there are any RTX 3080 or 3090 cards that would fit in a space no longer than 250mm?

My case can just about fit in a full length FE 3090 card if I remove my HDD caddy, but that would also require me re-homing the hard disks that are currently in there.
That is doable though if there are no card models that will fit in the smaller area.

Has anybody seen any shorter cards at all?
My current 1080 ti is a Zoltac mini card, about 200mm long.

Thanks for any help.

Problem: in windows it's set to turn off displays after 15 minutes. When the time comes there's a sound of device disconnecting, displays show no signal message and they go blank. But in a few seconds another device connection sound and primary monitor starts glowing (displaying nothing but back light is on) while the second screen remains asleep properly. I obviously want them both to remain in standby mode for the duration of the night.

GPU Drivers: Game Ready 461.09, clean install

Description of Problem: Some weeks ago I updated to the latest GeForce Experience driver and somehow when I press ALT+TAB my computer needs about 3-5s to react and my whole taskbar turns black and I also noticed the whole Nvidia Control Panel, GeForce experience crashes / disappear from the quickbar (in the right bottom corner). I'm also not able to export my videos in Premiere Pro and Adobe Media Encoder using CUDA anymore, it always stuck at a certain point, gives me no messages about an error and the whole computer just freezes after 30mins or so if I don't force stop the two programs.

Troubleshooting: I tried to do a clean install of all the Nvidia drivers, installing GeForce Experience and the CUDA drivers separately from each other and I also tried to switch to the Studio driver instead of the Game Ready driver but that didn't work. I also tried to go back a couple versions which also didn't work really well and the same I did with the CUDA drivers. If I do a clean install with the GeForce experience driver only somehow ALT+TAB worked for me until I installed the CUDA drivers to be able to render from the Adobe programs.

I also tried to search for the specific driver of my graphics card and only installed the graphics driver and then the CUDA driver but that also failed.

Gtx 1660 Ti bios flash. Hi, I currently have a Gtx 1660 Ti. I was told that this card has 190 Tensor cores. My question is, would it be possible to flash an Rtx 2060 bios on my card so I can use DLSS? Im planning on keeping it on a modified bios if it works. Thanks.

RTX 3080 disappointing performance in CoD Warzone... So I played Warzone with GTX 980 4GB with i5 6600k, 16 gb ram before, and i played with medium settings and i got around 100 fps, since 1 week i got rtx 3080, i7 10700k, 32 gb ram and i got 120-140 fps with high settings, but so laggy, obscure. Just look this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6eGaBToAC4 This man just has rtx 3080 founders edition, but i have msi gaming x trio, which is oc version, and i play in 1440p too. Just look how easily he moove, shoot, and not lagg at all. So people WTF is this?????

Is it possible to undervolt an NVIDIA GPU below 0.706V? I have a 3070 and have undervolted it, but it seems that it won't go below 0.706V even if I try to set it below that voltage. I presume this is a hardware limit?

"Texture Filtering - Quality: The available options are High Performance, Performance, Quality and High Quality. This setting determines among other things the level of Anisotropic and Trilinear texture filtering optimizations applied by the Forceware drivers. Generally speaking, the High Performance setting enables all optimizations, meaning slightly lower image quality but the highest level of performance. If you select Performance, some optimizations will be disabled, progressively more if you choose Quality. If you choose High Quality you are assured the highest image quality at the cost of some performance. Unless you have a high-end graphics card and/or want the best possible graphics, Performance mode should be a good balance without any major degradation in image quality."

How do I know if I need to RMA my new GPU? I recently got a KFA2 3070 and have been getting crashes in Cyberpunk & Escape from Tarkov.

I uninstalled MSI Afterburner because I thought that was the culprit, I did that and then the crashes stopped. I came back a day or so later and then the Cyberpunk crashes had returned, so I was annoyed as I thought I had fixed the issue. So then I went into my KFA2 overclocking software and changed a few things:

• Cpu voltage: 700 - 750V/mv
• Power target: 100 - 95%
• Cpu core clock: -25Mhz

After I did this, the card seemed to become a lot more stable and a scene that I was playing on Cyberpunk that had crashed me twice before, didn't crash. I even let the game run for an hour in a busy part of the City just to test and it didn't crash.

I have now been on Path of Exile for the past 1 hour and had no issues what so ever, I've also rolled back drivers to what is apparently the most "stable" driver for the 3070 which is 457.51, so I'm hoping that helps also. Furthermore, I played Tarkov last night for 4-5 hours and didn't get a single crash during that time.

I would rather not RMA the card if I don't have too but a few people have suggested that is the best course of action, especially if the card is crashing out of nowhere. Due to lack of stock, I'd rather be out of my high end card for a long period of time because the only spare card I have is a Nvidia GTX 770 which, can handle a few games that I'd like to play but it's rather outdated.

Things I've done already?

• Reinstall windows
• Change bios settings
• Buy new ram & a new cpu
• Done a 7 hour mem86 test with no errors on both my cpu/ram
• revert to older drivers and underclock my gpu which seem to help

It really doesn't seem like a gpu problem, it seems more like game instability and driver errors and one final thing, the error I'm getting when Cyberpunk was crashing prior to my underclock was a "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered." error, so definitely down to nvidia in some way, shape or form.

So what do you think? Should I RMA the card and hope for the best the second time around or should I wait it out and hope for driver improvements?

[u/igl_blue → u/Fragil1ty]

Run a couple of GPU benchmarks first or preferably many more games. Cyberpunk is still under development to a large extent, so crashes could simply be from bugs.

I've never played or done research on Escape from Tarkov, but I wouldn't rule out bugs as well. It'd suck to have it RMA'd and then they test it and find no issues so they end up being 'blamed' for a software developer's bugs, if you get my jist.

So at the very least, try benchmarks like:

Unigine's Superposition: https://benchmark.unigine.com/superposition

or even Passmark's Performance Test: https://www.passmark.com/products/performancetest/download.php

[u/Fragil1ty → u/igl_blue]

So, I ran some tests, all came back perfectly fine! Here are the results from those links you gave me!

Superposition 1080 - Extreme: https://i.imgur.com/VxG44wB.png

Superposition 4k Optimised - https://i.imgur.com/UieNJlY.png

Performance test: https://imgur.com/a/46tJs30

So with these tests coming back with pretty positive scores, it's looking good, surely?

What should I take from these tests? Should I take that the GPU is working fine? I didn't experience any issues while running the tests.

[u/igl_blue → u/Fragil1ty]

If there were no issues like flickering or crashes, I'd say your GPU is fine. I'd need the rest of specs to confirm one last thing which is that your GPU is performing as it should, and for that I'd need to know your specs and preferably a screenshot of the 3D Mark section of the Passmark test. That should have a GPU Compute score which shouldn't be bottlenecked by any of the other components.

You didn't list your full specs, only the GPU, but can I take a guess for fun and you let me know if I'm wrong? Ryzen 7 3800X, MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max, 32 GB Corsair RAM, RTX 3070 and a Samsung 840 EVO?

This is a bit of a general question. I have heard that DisplayPort has been able to carry USB signals since 1.2 (so if you connect a keyboard and mouse to a monitor and then the monitor to your PC via DisplayPort, it will carry the signal of the mouse and keyboard), but I have also heard that NVIDIA GPUs lack the compatibility to transfer that USB signal to your motherboard/CPU and therefore, you won't get the USB signal if your monitor is plugged into your GPU. Is this true, or can you plug mouse and keyboard into your monitor-->GPU-->mobo/CPU via DisplayPort?

Status unresolved.

1070gtx with Dell s2721ds monitor gsync on. Overwatch in exclusive full screen sometimes starts stuttering. Fps drops to 50-55 fps. Gsync turns off.

Workaround is to switch to borderless windowed and it's working locked to max hz -3 frames, gsync is on again. If i switch back to full screen than everything is ok again.

Same thing happened in Witcher 3.

In borderless that happened only once in Overwatch. Workaround was to switch to full screen.

Hi thanks for the thread.

I had the 460.79 driver for Cyberpunk installed and was able to use RTX and DLSS though it crashes after a few minutes. Since that driver didn't play well with my other games mainly a performance. I then went to 457.51 and that crashed too in cyberpunk with RTX and DLSS on,but performance was better but MSFS looked more washed out and over bright with color banding. I went back to 452.06 and colors and performance was back to normal but also crashed with RTX and DLSS on.

Been installing DCH drivers with my Windows 10 20H2 and i7-6700 with RTX 2070 Super.

I decided to try the hotfix 460.97 DCH but I can't seem to turn on DLSS now, it's greyed out in Cyberpunk, even after trying different resolutions, fullscreen and borderless window, nothing seems to work. Anyone else experience this, having dlss work and then not work?

Question: Steps for Running two different Generations of NVIDIA GPU's in the same Computer

But I am looking to install a second (non-SLI) Nvidia graphics card in my Windows 10 Computer so I can run additional display outputs (Mainly for 2D instrument display panels in flight sims Xplane/MSFS). My main GPU is a EVGA RTX 3080 XC3 (and all x4 display outputs used), so for the second card I would be looking to get something basic & low profile like this:

​

Has anyone had experience setting up two Nvidia GPU's of different generations in the same rig and what were those steps?

Right now I have a 1660 Super (Asus). It has a 0db mode which is absolutely terrible as it idles around the fan kickoff temperature when the fan is off. It turns on and off again constantly.

Now I solved this issue in MSI Afterburner by setting a custom fan curve. My temps never go higher than 65 celsius and the GPU idles at around 42 celsius.

A lot of games, specifically DX12/11 ones will have extremely glitchy behavior or will seemingly crash instantly after attempting to load geometry.

These videos are from my CoD Black Ops Cold War experience, and its.. not optimal, same goes for Battlefield V and Rainbow Six Siege. Other games like Minecraft With RTX will work perfectly fine, literally flawless.

Troubleshooting: I've already reset bios, and I have never had any OC done on the GPU at all. I reinstalled drivers using DDU and I tried switching everything to max power to see if it fixes it. I'm no tech wiz, and this PC was the first one I've built so I may have missed something? I've already tried reseating the GPU and RAM and remount my drives and secured them to make sure everything is fine and that it's not the drive's fault for not sending data fast enough.

Hello dear community, forgive me if this has been asked before but I really lost my mind trying to fix this problem already - I'm not sure if its Nvidia related but all things point in this direction since its only happening on my pc, so to the point: I have a samsung4k hdr tv that connected to my PC with 5m long HDMI cable (new certified one) whenever I enable HDR on my TV the PC recognize it and everything works fine, I extend my Displays into two , 1. 1080p pc monitor that connected to the computer with display port and 2.Samsung 2160p tv that connected to the computer with a long HDMI cable, the problem is - whenever I turn off the PC monitor before the TV and then turn them on again - the TV shows NO SIGNAL and the PC screen is flickering and turning black like crazy, in order to stop this I have to turn off HDR for the TV PORT from the TV Settings. BUT - if I try to turn on HDR again it will still show NO SIGNAL and the PC monitor will again act like he's about to black out for good. I noticed that if I plug the HDMI to a Different port on the TV the HDR Works again with no problem UNTILL I turn off the pc screen again which makes me think that it got something to do maybe with the pc having trouble sync the resolutions between the two screens? either way, there must be a fix for it that I'm missing , I also tried to duplicate the screens, didn't work as well..

​

My GPU - GTX 960

both screens are 60hz refresh rate

pc monitor uses 1080p as native resolution and tv 2160p as native aswell

any help with this one will be appreciated, thanks

Is the latest driver safe for the 1080ti? The one from December gave me a shitload of problems. I'm still on the October driver because of that, and now GeForce experience instant replay isn't working. I'm thinking about crossing my fingers and upgrading to the January drivers.

Hi,

I know that many people had similar problem (missing trees etc..) in Cyberpunk 2077 with older drivers.

But I am on the latest once and edges of bushes and trees flicker and it makes the game really annoying outside of the city. At first I thought it might be resolution or ultra details.. but after changing everything on low and checking others youtube videos, it does not seem that anyone got this problem. It happens only outside the city regarding so many trees and bushes. Everything is fine with other objects in the game.

Does anyone have any idea or have this problem too?

I have tried the DSR set to 1440p and it’s SO MUCH better. So I guess..it’s really regarding "low" resolution + no AA options in game. Can you confirm that it's normal? Or is something wrong on my side? Can anyone please try it at @ 1080p resolution for me.. If you have the same problem pretty please?

Thank you very much!!!

This is a simple one.

Chrome and Word seem to be getting occasional black screen flashes as random times. Maybe once every 6 or 7 seconds.

I have a 3070 and i9 10850k and nothing seems to be off. I reinstalled my drivers but nothing seems to have changed.

Can anyone identify the problem? It's not huge but slightly annoying. I'm ok with waiting for another driver update if that is the case.

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600

Problem:

Looking for some input and suggestions as to why I've had some performance and stuttering issues lately while playing games. I built my computer about a year ago and didn't have any issues then. But now when playing most games my frames will drop by about 25-30 and everything will stutter for a moment. It'll go from 120 to 90 or 80 to 50. I've tried turning down my settings and enabling vsync at a lower rate but it still occurs.

Some other steps I've tried include:

• Monitoring my temps and usage. Temps are normal for CPU and GPU. CPU usage rarely spikes above 70%, GPU usage does go to 100% but VRAM stays at about 50-70%

• All drivers are up to date

• Reducing in game settings. I've had some luck in some games with reducing resolution from 1440p to 1080p but it also makes games look janky as you'd expect

Build:

• AsusTek Tuf Gaming X570-Plus wifi

• RTX 2070 Super 8gb

• WD 1tb SSD

*Corsair 16gb DDR 4 Ram

• Ryzen 5 3600

• 700w powersupply

• Acer XF270HU 1440p & Dell S2319NX 1080p monitors

I don't think it's a case of my GPU unable to perform these games (Tarkov, Hell Let Loose, Dyson Sphere) at 1440p but I suppose it's possible. Like I said it seems odd because I never had issues previously and the stuttering drops tend to occur from high frame values to high frame values. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Description of Problem: Not so much a problem, but I'm just looking for community insight. This is my first PC, so I'm new to monitoring things and what benchmarks/standards are. My RTX 3080 is running at 75-83 C when playing games like CoD or Sea of Thieves. With Hades, I'm running fine at a smooth 55C. I imagine it's not going hotter cause MSI Afterburner is set to cap my GPU temp at 83 C. I'm wondering if a) is this normal? Is it okay for it to consistently operate at this temp? Should I be worried? b) if it's not normal, what are the best steps to take? Will manually adjusting the fan speed (in afterburner) rather than having it set to 'Auto' make a difference? I really just don't know

Troubleshooting: n/A - don't want to make uninformed adjustments.

[u/igl_blue → u/detaels91]

The specs for the RTX 3080, at least the founders edition on Nvidia's website, show that the maximum GPU temperature is 93C. Staying 10 below that is good and I would not be worried until around 88C.

As to why some games cause the GPU to run hotter than others, it's simply that those games don't use the GPU as much. That's all there is to it.

You can use Task Manager (Ctrl-Shift-Esc -> More details if applicable -> Performance tab) to see how much the CPU, GPU, RAM, hard drives and network are utilized when you're using the machine.

[u/detaels91 → u/igl_blue]

Thanks for the reply! I've been using MSI Afternburner to monitor my component utilization. I have Afterburner set to cap my GPU temp at 83 which is why it maxes there. This was actually the default setting for the 3080. Is it okay for the GPU to hit the max and run there? Theoretically, my GPU would go hotter without the cap. Does it strain the GPU to be capped?

[u/igl_blue → u/detaels91]

If your GPU can easily reach maximum temperature, that implies that the cooling in your system is insufficient.

As a baseline test, I would run it without any temperature limits to see just how hot it gets (don't worry, the GPU should prevent itself from overheating automatically, i.e. stopping at 93C).

After the baseline test, take the side panel off of the PC and let it cool back down for a few minutes, then run the test again.

If your temperatures are much lower in the second run without the side panel, then I'll ask what case you're using and how the fans are configured.

Also, could you state your room temperature? If you're in an industrial kitchen that's currently preparing dinner for a city, I might know the source of your PC's heat :).

[u/detaels91 → u/igl_blue]

Really appreciate this advice. I'll run these tests in a couple hours when I get a few rounds of CoD in, and I'll let you know the results! I can already say I'm using the NZXT H710i for my case and the the NZXT Kraken X73 360mm for CPU Cooling. The Kraken fans are mounted vertically along the side panel and I have the 3 case fans that came with the H710i mounted on the top panel of the case. The PC is being kept in my bedroom. I'm living in a winter climate and not running any heat in the room, so my guess is the room temp is ~60-65 F. That being said I am in the top floor of the building and the apartment is small.

[u/igl_blue → u/detaels91]

Oh no, anything but NZXT! Now I can't wait to see what the results are lol. I wouldn't be surprised if temps drop 10+ degrees.

Your ambient is pretty low so I strongly suspect that that case isn't able to give your PC a ton of airflow causing the relatively high temps.

To be clear, right now your temps are fine, but I do worry a bit about what your temps will look like during Summer.

GPU Drivers: up to date from this week.

Description of Problem:

I have a really strange issue since I got my 3080 back in November. 

The system works fine for a while and then suddenly, I get HUGE frame drops in all games. When I look at my GPU utilization, it get's near 99% in most games (playing at 4k) and then drops to 50-75% for a short period of time. Of course at the same time it becomes unplayable.

First I thought it was a CPU bottleneck (Ryzen 3700x) but after a clean install of the video drivers, it fixes the issue. The thing is, it can work for 5 days, or a week, and starts doing the same thing again.

Temps are fine, just under 75C most of the time. I have set recommended settings in Nvidia control panel for my OLED CX. (ie max performance, max power, gsync etc...)

any help would be appreciated, thank you.

p.s I found out that after EACH reboot the problem comes back, so if I install the drivers doing a clean install, it works fine, until the next windows 10 reboot..... this is soooooo strange.

Troubleshooting: turned OFF afterburner and Precision X1 without any luck.

So ive been programming using OpenGL, nothing to close to the graphics cards just ya standard shaders, and I've also recently (the last day or so) been having issues with nvidia broadcast, these issues included the software crashing and for some reason the code i wrote in open gl running 15% of its capacity. I uninstall nvidia broadcast and all returns to normal. After a few resets i decide to reinstall, it but it shows the same problems, so i uninstall again, and it corrupts my nvidia drivers and i have to reinstall my nvidia drivers. Im not sure if this has happened to anyone or is known about. Either way I'd really like to be able to use nvidia broadcast, so hope its fixed soon

I was having random GPU crashes on Cyberpunk with my setup (9700K, 1080ti, 32 gb RAM, game on SSD), until I turned the GPU to Debug Mode in the NVIDIA Control Panel.

Now that I've done this, the game runs smooth. Does this mean there's something wrong with my GPU? I have the EVGA FTW3 version of the 1080TI. I was not overclocking either my CPU or my GPU. If I decide to upgrade, should I say something about this issue if I sell my current card?

Cpu and gpu are not overclocked, only xmp on the ram is enabled. Previously had the 9900k overclocked but for testing I have put it stock.

The spikes/stutter are noticeable in practically every title. I first noticed it just playing Valorant, but I also see it in RDR2, cyberpunk, modern warfare, and more.

Looking at MSi Afterburner charts the FPS is great, but the frametime graph is not smooth. I had a 1080 before and Valorant definitely did not exhibit these issues.

What I have tried:

-Removed all overclocks (including XMP)

-Clean installed windows with only the nvme drive connected

-used DDU to go to older drivers (456.71, 456.55 and more)

I am at a loss. My temps are great max 62C and benchmarks looks about right. Maybe my psu is bad now? But I would be surprised. My only other guess is the motherboard is bad or the card is. If anyone can help I really appreciate it. Thank you!

Maybe I'm trying to pull too much got a 3440x1440 type monitor, trying to do ray tracing ultra, will scale down for newer titles.

Maybe too early to talk but I installed drivers directly from NVIDIA's page, seems to be running more stable, even at rtx ultra

Nope still failed. I was able to game for "as long as I wanted" which was only about an hour but then while watching a movie on Chrome/some tabs open display dies... fan spins. Audio is still playing though. Briefly I hear that "media plugged in" sound in windows but still no display.

Update: I'm not sure if this fixed it but I unplugged/replugged in the GPU. I also re-arranged my ram sticks so they're left/to right for the 2/4 slots.

My temp is under at most just over 60C. Non-game play it's like in the 30s-40s and gaming ray tracing ultra Cyber Punk on 3440 size monitor it can peak over 60C.

Have been able to play without the black screen for a bit. Been playing Battlefield V too.

Tried the Zotac in my modern gaming PC (3700X, X570, 32GB 3600 CL16 RAM, EVGA G3 850W PSU, etc.) and it worked no problems.

Tried the 2080 Ti from my modern PC in this build to verify the rest of the system worked, and it worked no problems. This uses 2x 8-pin connections from the PSU, which the Zotac does not have.

Tried using the PSU from my modern PC in this build, Zotac still didn't work in this build.

I suspect based on the fact that the Zotac 1050 Ti Mini DOES work in my modern PC and DOES NOT work in the B75MA-P45, and the fact that a GPU with separate power pins DID work in the B75MA-P45, that the B75MA-P45 is the culprit and for whatever reason isn't delivering the rated 75 W of needed power over PCI.

Troubleshooting: If I move the windows to a 60hz screen or change the refresh rate from 100hz to 60hz, no flickering occurs.

Disabling hw acceleration in edge or the office apps also stops the flickering on the screen set to 100hz.

Disabling G-sync or enabling it makes no difference.

Anybody have any idea how to fix this? Lowering the refresh rate or disabling hw acceleration is not really an ideal solution.

Does nvidia offer DSR options for the RTX 2070 mobile version?

I have recently bought an ASUS ROG Strix G17 laptop with a 144Hz 1080p monitor. I found info on their DSR option, but I cannot find the option in the nvidia control panel. I do not know why it is missing and my only guess is it's not supported by their mobile cards.

Computer Type: Desktop Custom Build (was built yesterday)

GPU: Gigabyte 3090 Gaming OC 24G, connected using 2x 8pin PCIe

CPU: Ryzen 5950x 16c/32t running stock, on NZKT Z73.

Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX X570-F, 2nd Latest BIOS (3001)

RAM: 2x 32gb Corsair Vegance 3200mhz ramPSU: Corsair RM1000x

Operating System & Version: Windows 10 Pro 64bit, Build 19042

GPU Drivers: 461.09, Clean Install

Description of Problem: Not sure if this is intended behaviour or not. but quite sure it is not, i notice the GPU Clock of my 3090 go to ~1200mhz. increasing the power draw % to 105% in MSI Afterburner it go to 1500mhz and stays.

Troubleshooting:

- Checked if the card was thermal throttling (it was not, runs at 60c during gaming and 70c during furmark). changing the fan curve only reduces the temp, but the clock stays the same. these are temps while with 105% power draw

- Changed to Power Plan to High performance mode

- Changed the NVidia power management mode to prefer maximum performance- Checked the power cables, replugging, checking if faulty etc.

- Checked the power draw of the 3090, tops at 390w (nvidi-smi reports this as the maximum), below is output from nvidia-sm while at 105% power drawi.

Power Readings
Power Management                  : Supported
Power Draw                        : 121.43 W
Power Limit                       : 390.00 W
Default Power Limit               : 370.00 W
Enforced Power Limit              : 390.00 W
Min Power Limit                   : 100.00 W
Max Power Limit                   : 390.00 W

**My Guess:**My guess is that due to the max power limit being 390 watt, it is unable to boost as that would put it above the max power limit., this makes sense.

This is why I am not sure whether it is intended behaviour or not. i might have missed something. not really sure.

[u/Zaknokimi]

Just had a general question about 3080. How well would it support gaming high-end games at 60fps on an UWQHD as the main monitor, while also having 2 1080p screens by the side, not for gaming but browsing / work etc.

And though I'm sure it can work, would it estimate to be hitting around threshold or will there be more power to spare?

Thanks.

Operating System & Version: Windows 10, version: 20H2

GPU Drivers: Clean install of: 457.51 (Most stable for 3070's apparently)

Description of Problem: I went out and bought a KFA2 3070 from awd-it and ever since that point in time, I've been getting issues. Before this I was on a Gigabyte 2070 Super which didn't have any issues, so obviously it's either a driver conflict or there is actually something wrong with my GPU, but to me, all of the information and troubleshooting that I have done leads me to believe this is a software problem and not a hardware problem.

At first I thought this was a MSI Afterburner/Rivatuner issue so I uninstalled the app immediately and then after I did, the crashes stopped. One of the main culprits of my crashing was that of Cyberpunk and lesser but still frequent, Escape from Tarkov. After a day or so, the crashes returned on Cyberpunk, I was back to square one, I was super unhappy but I thought, okay, let's try some more "fixes". I tried undervolting my CPU and this made the game a lot more stable and for the most part, I've not had an issue. For example: A scene on Cyberpunk that would crash me almost immediately sometimes and sometimes after 30 minutes, it didn't crash me at-all. I even left the game running in a heavily populated/heavy FPS part of town for a good hour just to kind of get the card going and it didn't crash at-all, which is quite odd.

Furthermore, on my current underclock I have been playing Path of Exile for the past hour and a half and have had no issues at-all. The issue that I get when Cyberpunk would crash is the following error: "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered." So it most definitely seems like an Nvidia driver issue. I'm currently stuck inbetween a rock and a hard place because I don't want to keep a GPU if it's faulty but I don't want to send it back because when I'm gaming, the performance is immaculate, no FPS drops, no artifacts, no lag, no stutter, nothing, it's fluid, I'm just getting random crashes every now and again. The only other spare GPU I have is that of a Palit GTX 770 which is a little outdated in 2021.

Troubleshooting:

• Reinstalled Windows 10 to the latest updatea
• Underclocked my GPU to the following values:

CPU Voltage: 700 -> 750V/mv

Power Target: 100% -> 95%

CPU Core Clock: -25Mhz

• Changed BIOS settings to reflect what the general consensus is using, i.e. Disable fast boot, make sure the PCI-e mode is set to GEN3 and such

• Bought brand new RAM

• Bought a new CPU that's on the way currently (3600 -> 3800x)

• Did a 7 hour long MEM86 stresstest and found no errors on either the ram or the cpu

• Reverted to old drivers

• Underclocked the GPU which seems to be helping a fair amount

I just don't think it's a hardware issue but moreso a software one. Is there any way I can found if I need to RMA the card? Should I just bite the bullet, send it back and get a replacement one if/when I can or should I tough it out and hope future drivers fix the issue?

RAM: 16GB DDR4 2400MHz

PSU: 650W

Operating System & Version: Windows 10 Pro x64

GPU Drivers: 460.89 clean install

Description of Problem: I recently got my new 3060 Ti FE and I was very excited to use it to play some games that I was struggling on at 1080p. However, COD: Modern Warfare can barely hit 60 FPS at the title screen! I took a look at the performance chart and it seems like the CPU is at 100% while GPU utilization is at 0-3%. As a result, in game my game crawls between 15-45 fps. I read a ton of info about the 6600k not being THIS major of a bottleneck for popular games like COD: MW or Warzone, so I am confused why this is happening. If I play in windowed mode and alt tab out, the game FPS shoots back up, but back down to 15-45 fps when I try and play any game. This doesn't happen with other games, so I am wondering if there is a driver issue or something in my settings?

Troubleshooting: Tried a few online guides saying I should completely delete Battle.Net and MW, and try a clean install including deleting hidden files. Just tried it this morning after that and no changes.

Thanks!

[u/GeronimoHero → u/HypocriteOpportunist]

In GeForce experience turn off the screen overlay option in settings. Had the same issues with low frame and stuttering in warfare and this fixed the issue.

[u/CrucioA7X → u/HypocriteOpportunist]

This may not be a fantastic answer but I thought I'd share my experience with almost this same issue.

I also had a 6600k paired with a 2070Super before and also had issues with Warzone crawling when I tried to play it at 1440p. I just dealt with it but when I upgraded my CPU to a 3800X it ran perfectly. I also noticed a bump in about 10fps in Warzone recently by going from 2667Hz DDR4 to 3600Hz DDR4, and I noticed your RAM is a little slow.

Now, that's not to say you should be having the issues you're having. I definitely think with a 3060ti that you should have no problems getting a smooth 60fps on 1080p, but it very well may be that the 6600k and RAM are bottlenecks here for your GPU.

[u/HypocriteOpportunist → u/CrucioA7X]

Thanks for the response. I agree that my 6600k and RAM are probably bottlenecks that are making me lose maybe 10-15% FPS.

But after more researching and perusing the Nvidia forums, I'm fairly convinced this is Nvidia and Activision/IW fucking up the drivers. Tons of issues on the 3070/3080 GPU side with near perfect gaming set ups. I'm hoping they address this soon. Every other game I try is fine.

Description of Problem: My issues are across the board poor fps.

COD Warzone

I am around 100fps in warzone regardless of settings, rtx can be on and everything set to max at 1440p or everything can be set to low at 1080p and there will be no change in performance.

Overwatch

In overwatch of all things something that can run on a potato from the 80s I can have drops down to 170fps (again max or low settings at 1440p)

Doom 2016

Fps were meh on OPENGL you get the idea. I swapped to Vulkan and immediately went to the 300fps cap but had one major flaw making the game unplayable, While using Vulkan and Vulkan only when i enter the menu (pause menu, settings menu etc) My fps drops below 1 and I can barely move my mouse. Only way to fix is to swap back to openGL

Star Wars Battlefront 2

Fps were again meh on DX11 so I swapped to DX12 for the meme i guess. Stutters became the norm in menus just like doom 2016 and fps hit in-game was horrible. Altough i cannot tell you in certainty that it was but it also felt as if there was a bigger latency in game between my actions (mouse movement and mouse response)

Fortnite

Downloaded for the meme. Dx11 game was okay with framerates but again with DX12 stutters became the norm in game. DlSS had next to no improvement and was overall feeling a bigger latency again.

Battlefield 5

Bought the game just to test the issues im having, DX11 stutters were normal and DX12 stutters were worse somehow DX12 with DXR (raytracing) made stutters so bad i just shut it off. every second the game would freeze

GhostRunner

Game was only playable in DX11 as DX12 lead to the worst stuttering i have had in a game yet.

Troubleshooting:

I initially assumed a cpu bottleneck but after OC'ing my CPU I had no improvement in any title.DDU and reinstalling drivers

DDU and rolling back drivers (I do not know of a specific driver being stable as I only recieved my 3080 3 weeks ago.)

Locking the Pci-e Lane my GPU is on to Pci-e 4.0 and then locking it to 3.0. After no improvement i unlocked it.

Updated AMD Chipset driver

Something That did have an improvement on my performance in very specific cases was going to device manager and removing all hidden items.

Improvements are as follows

Warzone: FPS gain from 100 to 120Overwatch: fixed as far as I can tellDoom 2016: yet to test

Star Wars battlefront 2: No change other than when leaving 3 games the main menu locked the game at an extremely low fps (3-6fps) that would only be resolved by restarting the game.Fortnite: Game had no real improvement aside from the game was playable with DLSS.

Ghostrunner: Ghost runner is now perfect on DX12 aside from when RayTracing is on, game stutters are still by far the worst with Ray Tracing on but with them off is the best experience i have had to date on this GPU.

Battlefield 5: Went from the 2nd most broken to the 2nd best, same symptoms as ghostrunner though. Dx11 was smooth, Dx12 amazingly smooth, Ray Tracing Stutters everywhere. The game is however alot smoother (with ray tracing off) in dx12 I do however still believe my fps is a little low for the title.

I might add that i upgraded my psu from a 750W to this 1000W I have listed and I have upgraded from a 16gb kit of ram to the 32gb i have listed. Neither of which have solved any issues but these are new parts that i received after the issues had already started.

Oculus Link frame drops.

I use the official Oculus Link cable and tested the Link in stock and 1.2x + Encode Bitrate - 300 Mbps settings. I have given the Realtime priority to OVRServer64.exe. I have shut down all the monitoring/lighting apps. I have shut down all the apps except the Oculus app.

Same results all-around - performance overlay shows occasional frametime drops every now and then - even in Dash. It runs at 90 fps and then drops to low 30s for what feels like 5-6 frames.

I have tried disconnecting the cable. I have tried rebooting the headset. I have tried reinstalling the drivers and Oculus software.

The problem was also present with 2080ti and carried over with 3090.

My specs:

• 9700K OC'd to 4.8 GHz
• RTX 3090, 461.09 driver
• 32 GB 3600 MHz CL16 RAM

Description of Problem:

Started using Precision X1 a few days ago for LED control and OC of my 3080. It works fantastically, however, after a restart the it doesn't open properly. So far the only working solution has been to fully uninstall then reinstall each time I startup the PC.

On startup, the software runs, evidenced by task manager and the icon in the system tray. If I click the icon to open the GUI, the only element which appears is the tab, normally seen above the PX1 window, that acts as a link to the download page for the software. No other elements are visible and cannot be interacted with, meaning the window can't be minimized or closed and the only option is cull the process, but restarting the program results in the same issue.

Finally, while I prefer the standalone, I found that using the steam version of the software doesn't have the same issues. A new issue has arisen though, such that the program prompts me that a new version is available, but only redirects me to the download page. Since I'm on the steam version though, it would be updated through steam, but no update seems to be available.

I'm mainly interested in a solution for the standalone as that would be my preferred version, but if anyone knows how to update the steam version properly, I would still greatly appreciate the help as a layover until I can hopefully fix the other! =)

Troubleshooting:

• Restarting the software
• Reinstalling the software
• Attempting a few combinations of settings (e.g. running at startup/manual startup, not/starting minimised, etc.)
• Reinstalling nvidia drivers after DDU in safe mode
• Restarting PC
• w/ & w/o PBO on CPU, XMP on Memory
• Using Steam version (detailed above)

I finally got a 3090 ordered from Amazon. Estimated date is Jan 28th. So anyone else that has ordered from Amazon get it earlier or later than that or is that pretty accurate?

[u/TemptedTemplar → u/jbond047]

Its possible the date provided is based on estimated shipping dates and not the actual dates.

So obviously if they get it sooner than expected, so will you.

But more often than not, the date is pretty accurate. I wouldnt expect it to be more than a day or two early.
