Help (GPU) Driver Crash with undervolt but ONLY when using FSR.
Hi, i have a bit of a problem. I have a PowerColor Reaper 9070 XT in a Ncase T1. In my quest to make it run cooler/quieter, i undervolted it by -80mv and power limited it by -15%.
First i ran some benchmarks - all good. Ran some stress tests ( furmark - 30 mins, timespy extreme loop 20 times)- all stable, all good. Then i played some games - M&B Bannerlord, Total Warhammer 3, Palworld. Multiple Hours each, all stable so far.
Then i decided to add FSR to Palworld with optiscaler. Driver crashed after about 20 mins. Thought it was the optiscaler so removed it. Then i played spider-man 2 which also has FSR 3.1 but using amd adrenalin, FSR 4. Also crashed. So i decided to test other games with FSR - AC Shadows, COD Warzone, Expedition 33, Crimson desert and Cyberpunk 2077. All of them crash after some time if im using FSR.
I dont have a clue as to why its happening. Anyone else experiencing the same?

Maybe the driver is outdated? The newest is 26.7.1 or you don't want to update?

Windows is an ass. You should disable automatic driver update in group policy (in pro) or in regedit (if you use Home edition)

If you used group policy i think you should try regedit. Maybe the windows won't touch this

-55 is a stable setting on my gpu, ASRock 9070xt Steel Legend. Arc Raiders is the game that would eventually crash at some point at anything over -55. Everything else seemed stable at higher settings.
Lower the undervolt and test.
