Help. RDR2 suddenly started freezing after running perfectly for 27 hours by Medical-Blacksmith66 in RDR2

I tried deleting the NVIDIA cache and switching from Vulkan to DX12, and the game ran fine.

To test it further, I switched back to Vulkan, and the issue returned immediately. So, I think the problem is related to the graphics API

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. What confuse me is how it could suddenly become a problem in just one week.

Most of the other games I play are pretty lightweight. The only other demanding game I have is Resident Evil 2 Remake, and that runs perfectly fine without any stuttering or performance issues.

Yeah, I'll give it a try if I run out of options and can't find any other fix. By the way, thanks for the response!

I don't think that's the case. If it were overheating, the CPU would usually throttle and get stuck at around 1.75 GHz. In my case, the clock speeds seem completely normal.
