At Loss with 6700 XT

Been awhile since I've posted here, but I was hoping someone might have some insight on a problem I can't seem to fix.

 

  • MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon (1st gen Ryzen board)
  • Ryzen 5700X
  • 16GB DDR4
  • 6700 XT reference card
  • 850W Seasonic PSU
  • Windows 10 Pro

 

This setup had been working great up until a couple of weeks ago, and now I'm left scratching my head as to why. When running games, doesn't seem to matter which ones (Forza MS, Diablo IV, Elden Ring etc.), I get a consistent crash to desktop after about 2-3 minutes. I've tried a few different 2024 display driver packages, running DDU between them in safe mode, I'm not overclocking, tried under-volting in CCC, and the temps are perfectly fine--if not ideal. For some reason, games always CTD.

 

I've actually gone so far as to try a different boot drive, running Win11, and the result is the same. There's no artifacts on the screen when the games crash; it's just a soft freeze and then desktop. No error message. Does anyone have any ideas? The card doesn't seem faulty, and Furmark will run continuously for hours, but games always crash. I want to blame software but the fact that it happens across both OS'es is strange to me. I may just pick up a different card, but would really like to figure it out.

 

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hello there, have you tried down clocking the GPU-core and the memory?

Thanks for the response. I believe I have tried to under-clock and undervolt using the Adrenalin software, however I may revisit this. I hadn't needed to touch anything prior to experiencing this issue, but that's hardly a reason not to give it another shot.

 

I can update the thread with my findings.

Ok, so I do have some promising info.

 

After a bit of trial and error, I think I may have gotten the card to where it's stable. Using the 24.5.1 drivers, I brought the card down to 2630 mhz core on 1180mV. I couldn't bring the vram clock down any, but using those values seemed to stabilize the card; to the point where I could play a few games without crashing. I was even able to get through the long shader optimization in Forza which would just crash out after reaching ~25% before.

 

Performance probably took a miniscule hit, but nothing that would be noticeable. As far as I'm concerned I can happily live with that if the card is now usable. I was a day or two away from pawning the card off, so this has me optimistic. I'll play around with it some more, but this certainly works for now.

 

Cheers!

This is still a good boost clock and I am happy that it works for u.
