That way the GPU would consume less power, and 'maybe' also has lower / lesser maximum power spikes ?Īfaik unfortunately arc control panel / intel command center only offers various vsync on/off settings but no custom fps limiter.

Then switching to lower resolutions / settings ingame, and limiting fps significantly lower then you would be able to reach normally. If it was the PSU, maybe you could find out by disconnecting every non-essential peripherals / drives temporarily, Newer cards often have completely different demands regarding short power spikes, even though you sometimes see similar TDP ratings/PSU recommendations regarding simple 'watt' mentioned for them. it won't run as efficient anymore after years of usage, or can't provide enough power anymore if it's very close to it's maximum. In more detail, why it could be the PSU : even though it's specified rating should be sufficient, it's already a bit old, is atx 2.3 and has only 1 single 12V rail. So with your old gtx 970, did you play the same games a lot too, and were there also crashes or not ? One thing that gets mentioned a lot is that it's pretty unstable & crashes alot (in general, on other GPU / systems, too)

However, I've gone through your previous posts again,Īnd I now believe it might also just be the game itself, The reason why I first suspected the PSU, is because I just recently read about a similar case on a german forum board,
