![]() This basic guide has been initially written with older 65/45nm generation dual and quad cores in mind. Curious about what happened so i can prevent it from happening again.OC Stability testing in easy steps (UPDATE ) I guess I am just asking for any additional info on this if anyone has seen similar issues like this in a GPU and what was their experience on a solution, whether it be RMA and replacement or refurbished the card. Pretty confident in my original assessment of "gonna have to RMA this thing". Strangest thing ive seen when the GPU only uses 700MB VRAM on a game and the RAM is at 4/5 GB. I honestly think something fried in the GPU. Did a windows memory / check disk full scan which showed no memory errors. When in use the cores go to 41/42 like normal. ![]() Although i will say its weird the CPUZ shows the CPU usage multiplier to be fluctuating from 8-43 on all cores, im assuming because of power saving features. VRAM, RAM and CPU usage go back to normal when not running any games. All the mobo software is updated - BIOS, Chipset, drivers etc. ![]() Nothing has been updating or downloading in the background, i even used Intel driver and support assistant to check for any needed driver and software updates, which shows none. I have the newest AMD Adrenalin drivers and also used the previous software version with same results The gpuz gif is running pubg with vsync off (100+FPS) using 5GB of VRAM and 6GB of RAM. Using about 3x-6x more CPU % and much more RAMįluctuation in GPU Utilization % and using much less VRAM Don't think it would be running like this because I don't have the SSD anymore, just running on the 1TB WD Blue HDD now but I don't think a HDD would make your CPU usage jump from 10% to as much as 60% along with the GPU fluctuation. The big question I have is why is the card not performing like it used to (I'm guessing obviously a failure somewhere) but I figured if it was a software issue it could be fixed. Had the GPU for 1 1/2 months, so I'm just outside the Newegg warranty Checked motherboard BIOS settings, even reflashed mobo BIOS, reflashed GPU bios using ATI Flash, I really think I am going to have to RMA this thing. Used Superposition Benchmark and it shows it will go up to 11GB of VRAM and 5 or 6GB of RAM, used OCCT Perestroika which did show some GPU memory errors. Checked everything, and I mean everything. Used previous Adrenalin version and most current with same results. Weird thing - I haven't had any crashes at all. GPU fluctuates from as low as 1% back to 100%. I compared what AMD Adrenalin was telling me in the on screen display overlay with GPUZ and CPUZ and I'm pretty sure it's not a reporting error. Still get high frames even though the GPU is not running at 100% all the time like it used to. On PUBG it now uses 4-5 Gb of VRAM and 5-6 Gb of RAM with 40-60% CPU usage. AFTER the crash, it now jumps around below 1455Mhz, uses 0.7GB of VRAM on Rocket League with 4-5GB of RAM and 30-40% CPU usage. Card normally ran at 68-70*C, at 1455Mhz Core Clock / 2100 Mhz memory, using anywhere from 2GB to 5GB of VRAM, and on the CPU side using anywhere from 10%-12% CPU and very little RAM. ![]() I normally played in VSYNC at 75 frames in FPS games and let the frames run wild in Rocket League at 250 at all max settings. Anyway, BEFORE the "great crash of 2018" my GPU was working fine. You know the story, had to re-install windows via USB on my HDD because the SSD was not able to initialize using windows Disk manager. Upon reboot, my SSD which the OS was installed on had failed. Ok guys, so long story short - My computer crashed right in the middle of a PUBG game several days ago and I had to do a hard reset.
