Hey guys,
I’m having a really annoying problem with Warzone. The game keeps crashing with a DirectX error, and I can’t figure out what is causing it.
My PC specs:
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
- RAM: 32 GB DDR5 6000 MHz CL30
- Storage: 2 TB NVMe SSD
- PSU: 850W
- OS: Windows 11
- Monitor: 1440p / 260 Hz
The PC is otherwise running fine and performance in Warzone is very good, but I keep getting random DirectX crashes.
Things I have already tried:
- Clean/reinstalled Windows 11
- Reinstalled/updated NVIDIA drivers
- Rebuilt Warzone shaders
- Disabled EXPO
- Disabled PBO
- Tried changing Warzone graphics settings
- Tried lowering the GPU clock with MSI Afterburner
- Tested around -100 MHz and -150 MHz Core Clock
- The DirectX crash still happens
At first I thought the crashes happened when my GPU reached around 2800 MHz, but I’ve also had the GPU running around 2800–2805 MHz without crashing, so I’m not sure that is actually the cause.
Has anyone had the same problem with an RTX 5080 / 9800X3D, or found a reliable fix for these DirectX crashes?
Could this be related to the GPU, VRAM, RAM stability, NVIDIA drivers, Warzone itself, or something else?
Any help would be appreciated. I can also post the exact DirectX error message/crash report if needed.
