Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Crashing and Wierd Reading

I have been having a really good time playing the new Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora game, but crashes have been pretty common on my setup, and twice I have noticed an odd reading with my GPU.

If you look closely at the GPU memory controller utilization you will see this.

Is there any way that this reading could be just a software issue, or is my memory controller melting it's self trying to keep up with the game?

Any help to stop crashes and/or explaining the wierd reading would be greatly appreciated. 

To those who don't know this is within HWinfo64.

The number displayed is a special number aka power of 2 - 1 (2 ^ 16 = 65536 then - 1 = 65535) or more specifically, 16 bit unsigned integer = "65535". If signed then it would be -1. The value displayed is 0xFFFF in hex.

My guess is there is a bug in the software. For instance, when trying to read information, the hardware/drivers returned -1 (0xFFFF), and the software only display unsigned 16 bit integers, then it would display 65535.

So then the question becomes why did it read a value of -1? Maybe because it was busy, and monitoring is lower priority.
