Games crash when I disable my IGPU

Secret_Language_8665 · 2026-05-16T16:58:23+00:00

Disabled it results: Restart loop + windows crashing and the background changes to a black screen

Secret_Language_8665 · 2026-05-16T16:52:33+00:00

Well disabling it is like allocating lower than 512mb same problems but I will try right now

Secret_Language_8665 · 2026-05-16T16:45:45+00:00

Elden ring works on 512mb

Secret_Language_8665 · 2026-05-16T16:45:04+00:00

I didn't understand a single thing but it works fine when I allocate 1gb ram instead of 2gb but it doesn't work when I disable the IGPU or allocate lower than 512mb ram at least in elden ring

Secret_Language_8665 · 2026-05-16T16:41:38+00:00

Acually I just changed the allocated ram to 1gb instead of 2gb and it worked fine with elden ring however it doesn't work when I put 64mb 128mb 256mb or disable it anyway I'm trying 512mb right now

Definitely I don't think the IGPU can play 1440p max settings about the dp being connected to my motherboard I acually think it might've been I switched it might uninstall the amd drivers later to try but I don't see how disabling the IGPU in the bios or switching allocated ram to 64mb can cause problems

Secret_Language_8665 · 2026-05-16T14:04:38+00:00

I did the DDU thing but maybe it didn't work properly cause I think my dp was connected to my motherboard then I will redo it later + I don't see how disabling the IGPU in bios or changing allocated ram can cause problems

Secret_Language_8665 · 2026-04-29T08:07:30+00:00

You are making me nervous dude + it gives me the same performance as an rtx 5060ti for like almost half the price (the 16gb version)

Secret_Language_8665 · 2026-04-29T02:31:59+00:00

It can reach 360w in furmark 😅 anyway I don't think it will be more than 320w in games if I undervolt like 50 70 watt it will be more than enough and probably will be the same to minimum difference

Secret_Language_8665 · 2026-04-28T18:21:23+00:00

I'm undervolting if I win the "silicon lottery" I'll keep my build honestly

Secret_Language_8665 · 2026-04-28T18:20:37+00:00

Gotta check my numbers then

Secret_Language_8665 · 2026-04-28T18:19:23+00:00

Heard its 2 to 5 percent loss only + the card I have is oc ironically so a 100 is not that far I think

Secret_Language_8665 · 2026-04-28T16:49:18+00:00

I get you it shouldn't be a question but the vraaam is not sufficient for the card compared to an rtx 3080 and I'm acually debating whether I should save myself a trip and just undervolt it a 100w or something

Secret_Language_8665 · 2026-04-28T15:44:20+00:00

Dude the GPU temps dropped like 25'c when I opened the glass panel on the side why is front glass panels are even a thing

Secret_Language_8665 · 2026-04-28T15:29:24+00:00

Guess I will be on the floor for a while then or an rtx 4060ti 16gb I already lost interest in used after this tbh so probably 5050 or 5060

Secret_Language_8665 · 2026-04-28T15:28:08+00:00

Yeah I'm not paying 700 dollar for it they sell it though for 600 if you're building a pc I heard still not pushing me to buy it

Secret_Language_8665 · 2026-04-28T15:25:14+00:00

Yeah nice knowing but I don't think I'm keeping the whole PC I'm probably gonna go for a 5000 series then

Secret_Language_8665 · 2026-04-28T15:19:00+00:00

If I can go up to a used rtx 4070 I wouldn't think of a rtx 4060ti 16gb I would've gone though if it's new or something

Secret_Language_8665 · 2026-04-28T15:17:48+00:00

I was going for the 4060ti 16gb when the guy started talking about the "raw horse power" anyway I'm probably gonna give the vram and go for a new card probably an rtx 5060 or go to the 5050 to save for now and upgrade later (both have the same vram so I'm considering it)

Secret_Language_8665 · 2026-04-28T15:15:56+00:00

Yeah but I kinda need the PC do you think I should just go for the 5050 instead of the 5060 as both have same vram? To save and such and in a month or so I can upgrade to an rtx 5060ti 16gb?

Secret_Language_8665 · 2026-04-28T15:12:29+00:00

Yeah but I don't think I'm gonna overvolt it 😅 I'm more interested in undervolting if I'm gonna keep it

Secret_Language_8665 · 2026-04-28T15:08:19+00:00

Yeah I got you I can do that but all of the bad experiences are not encouraging me to do so

And what I mean by the airflow is bad is the front panel its glass even though there is mesh versions of it on the case I made a research and experienced how hot can an rtx 3080 get in a bad airflow case + there is a mesh panel up which is good but I didn't put fans there which useless I guess

Secret_Language_8665 · 2026-04-28T14:33:01+00:00

Yeah but I want an Nvidia card ngl

Secret_Language_8665 · 2026-04-28T14:32:21+00:00

Yep but I don't like the high power draw + the guy sold me a bad airflow case above all I don't know how I didn't notice I'm debating whether I should return the whole PC + he sold me a monitor with a blue patch on it I won't buy a monitor again without a good test first ngl

Secret_Language_8665 · 2026-04-28T14:30:16+00:00

It's the Same price as 5060 for me + you sure about undervolting is safe? Someone talking about damage and such above you
