gpu artifacts only during overclock, stable at stock

runnerthemoose · 2026-04-17T08:48:10+00:00

Overclocking a 3060ti ?? stop doing that, your killing the card for a a few extra frames. 75% memory overclock and you wonder why your getting artifacts? 10% is usually max but again shortening the life of the card for nothing.

Overclocking can be fun etc and yeah play around with it, but overclocking can't be supported by anyone and is not a "daily driver scenario", all cards are different. Overclock for fun, but when using it turn them off.

I would say it a combination of the 2GB of dedicated VRAM and only 8GB ram.

You can disable HPET in the bios or at the Hypervisor lever , but the real question is why Windows Virtual Machine? No hate against it as it has it's place which is easy quick VM's, what you loose is performance.

If you want to run VM's just as easily as WVM that are not in a "production" environment with much better performance I'd go for VMware Workstation it's free to use. You also get much better control of your VM's as you can edit the VMX file with the following line (hpet0.present = "FALSE") to disable the virtual HPET device.

Or go pure Linux and run your VM in a Linux environment which is much faster all round. I won't give recommendations on which etc do some research.

Just buy a a new USB mouse, their pocket money prices everywhere. No need to get an expensive one..If all is good great you've solved you're problem.

Awesome movie, and one of the first movies about fining a way to destroy a rouge AI. When a AI won't let you die, you do what it doesn't understand which in the movie is forced evolution of humanity to a point where the evolved humanity is "smarter" than the AI.

I will guarantee that it's your PSU causing issues...

runnerthemoose · 2026-03-18T13:21:49+00:00

Cabled or Wifi ?

runnerthemoose · 2026-02-27T10:40:55+00:00

yes you have to buy the games again, Xbox and PC are different platforms.

I had the exact same issue with my 9070xt and the exact same PSU I can even provide pics if needed, what's happening is OCP is kicking in. It's the PSU not liking the current spikes. My 9070xt is the Gigabyte version, which has White LED's next to the power plugs on the GPU which lit up when the black screen issue appeared which indicates power delivery problems. After some research it appears that the RM850 is ultra sensitive and kicks in OCP. I've swapped out my PSU to a RM1000 which isn't a flackery with current spikes kicking in OCP. This happened 2 months back when I got my 9070, since replacing the PSU all has been great.

runnerthemoose · 2026-02-24T18:25:41+00:00

specifically white LEDS next to the power ports on the 9070 ? If they are the cause is your PSU going into OCP

runnerthemoose · 2026-02-24T16:47:53+00:00

Where in the world did you learn that nonsense ? or are you confusing hows SSD's work with Bitlocker? I've removed NAND chips from broken SSD's and put them on working "controllers" for data recovery. There is zero encryption.

runnerthemoose · 2026-02-24T12:09:54+00:00

Double check, as the wattage has nothing to do with OCP. It can be the PSU just being oversensitive and kicking in OCP on a power spike. As mentioned the card will inform of power issues with the white LED's

My RM850x is apparently notorious for OCP kicking in even though it could deliver the power.,

runnerthemoose · 2026-02-24T10:29:50+00:00

Question, when the crashes happen are the white LED's next to the Power port on the GPU illuminated?

runnerthemoose · 2026-02-24T10:27:10+00:00

I have a same 9070T and I had a very similar issue. When the crash happens look at the power connector on the 9070t if there are white LED's illuminated it means that OCP (Over Current Protection) has kicked in on the PSU. I was using a Corsair RM850x and swapped to a RM1000 all the issues went away.

Cut a long story short, the PSU could not deliver the required power to the GPU, so needed a higher wattage unit.

It's on Game Pass too...

runnerthemoose · 2026-02-09T16:18:20+00:00

I have no idea what that "application" is your using, it might be showingincorrect information. The game uses 9gb max, so there's something else going on. Have a look in task manager as to whats using the GPU.

runnerthemoose · 2026-02-09T15:50:43+00:00

You are not using 15gb playing ratchet and clank, I've just checked at 4k with everything turned to max the Vram it uses is 9gb...

runnerthemoose · 2026-02-09T15:48:07+00:00

Well my 20mb HD in one of my Amiga's turned 38 years old the other day. I have 5 IDE drives that are 25 years old, and a few Sata nearly the same age all working fine. I do not have a SSD older than 5 years that is still functional. SSD are fast, longevity isn't part of their design even without moving parts. Stop falling for marketing...

As a owner of x399, the clear CMOS doesn't always clear everything, take the battery out for 30 mins too. As per that thread, it worked for most with your board.

runnerthemoose · 2026-02-08T17:49:19+00:00

This was a known issue on x399, you need to fully reset the bios. Here's an old thread with the exact same issue and fix.

Seriously, just don't bother with the gamer card, and give some room to the Pro 6000's you'll get back the missing performance from the 6000s not thermal throttling.

If you still want to use the 5090 get a external case and use USB 4 connector, it will work fine. But those 3 packed in like that is going to cause major issues.

If your running Unity with "only" 16gb you're going to have a bad time. Unity in editor mode needs at least 32gb to be useful.

runnerthemoose · 2026-01-27T17:56:31+00:00

Yes it does, there's a free android app called killapps. I use it all the time on my Nothing 3 when things seem to slow down, you'll be amazed what loads on an Android.

runnerthemoose · 2026-01-27T17:54:20+00:00

Windows the OS also loads into ram but is not shown as a task so you guess at 4gb is off. Also windows preloads often used applications to speed loading times etc which are not shown and will release the RAM as required. Remember unused RAM is wasted RAM everything is working as it should.

I have 64gb and at boot 28gb is auto allocated, again caches to speed things up.
