Never buy the latest and greatest GPU, I have learned my lesson… the damn thing black screens after 1 hour playing Witcher 3 remastered or cyberpunk, or basically anything that requires high level GPU performance.

I am continuing to test, trying to fix it, but such a waste of time and money…. Hate it when expensive shit doesn’t work.

After the black screen and having to restart, I checked the reliability monitor and found it says there was a hardware issue resulting in a kernal error… I believe 1db or something like that.

Tried:

1. new nvidia drivers
2. rolling back to old drivers
3. switched from DP cable to HDMI 2.1 cable
4. stress tested using OCCT with no errors
5. set ram to EXPO 1… it was on EXPO 2
6. turned off g-sync and variable refresh
7. turned down monitor Hz from 240 to 120
8. checked cable between PSU and GPU with no clear damage or connection issues
9. it’s not getting to hot, 74C at max.

Next:

1. install new BIOS drivers for mother board
2. turn off integrated GPU
3. try a different monitor, 1080p (currently using ASUS ROG 4k)
4. throw it out the window ;)

Such a pain. Everything looks really pretty until it black screens, so at least I have that going for me.

Edit with stats below…

Getting a lot of Delta three errors recently… mostly three minutes after starting a new game. But now it’s also happening mid game as well.

Just wondering if anybody has come up with a solution yet?

Thanks agents.
