DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG Crash bug

EVGA 1080ti SC2 with a stable overclock that produces no problems in any other game or benchmarks/stress tests. 8700k @ 5GHz.

This CTD didn’t happen before the patch. I removed any .zzz mods but the crash still occurs. Anyone else having the same issue? Graphics settings are on ultra high.

well the first thing to check is how fine it runs without those clocks.

Ialso overclock many many systems, and are quite good at it. Years has also shown me that sometimes games that run fine with certain overclocks cease doing so sometimes after patches that allow better utilisation.

Heck even some factory overclocked parts that run everything fine, get caught out on some titles… and have to be downclocked lower than their out of box numbers.

Iknow Irun all sorts of different numbers on a whole rang of different softwares, and have created many different profiles for each software title…

BAttlefield would require Idrop my overclock a little, forza 3 could ramp it up really high… respective games using my card more and less…

So first thing to do is TRYit without an overclock and see how it runs. no one serisouly cares to troubleshoot parts that you are trying to squeeze a whole extra percent or two from (not even a single frame per second), it just isn’t worth the trouble.

Iactually massively downclock my system to keep it running very cool and exceptionally quiet. To each their own.

I worked out the issue - It’s just a case of low client stability getting pushed over the edge by an overclock. I have a high end system that runs cool and quiet even with an OC. I guess I’ll just have to wait for more patches and increased client stability.

does your overclock stably run say ‘intel burn test’ etc… just cause other programs don’t use your cpu well (most games haven’t for yonks… a first gen i7 being enough for most every game… unless north of 80fps is the goal…)

as I said even with this game,… dropping a massive overclock didn’t take away any fps.

skyrim uses `10% of my cpu, the withcher 3 ¬15-20 and this game ¬30%…
it is very impressive and Ican see it in action… but,… Iam thinking your overclock,… basically never really being utilised doesn’t mean your machine is guaranteed to push those numbers, stably at all.

run some intense cpu software and check the OCis sound.
as Isaid… many year old cpu at stock clocks isn’t holding me back (still GPUbottlenecked).

I’d definately ease off on that OC if it isn’t doing anything useful.
Even my old 3770k i left at 4.2 (helpful for battlefield multiplayer on a 120HZ screen), otherwise a brief need for Forza to run at 4.5Ghz was the only reason Ieventually raised it. even though it ran 5.2 easily and stabily… there was no point.

IF it ain;t helping,… and as we can experience, it is hingering… I’d say … keep the settings handy for a game that may one day need it… but for now…
