Howdy hivemind, I need some help with weird GPU behaviors. In Starfield an Cyberpunk 2077, I am now experiencing a slow and consistant 'FPS bleed' till the games are running at 15-20 FPS, sometimes resulting in a game (but not windows) crash; Event 10 or Event 13 at nvlddmkm. Google-fu said this is a driver thing with many different possible solutions.
I tried clean vNidiva driner uninstalls and reinstalls; with multiple driver versions tried, there isn't anything they can do. Talked to nVidia and they came back with nothing they can do.
With that I figured my card might be kicking the bucket, but I am not sure... I ran FurMark, Heavens, Superposition, and OCCT (95% VRAM, extreme GPU) and absolutely tortured it; no crashes, no errors, no power or voltage blips, just a warm room.
I am not sure what to make of this, so I am hoping someone could give insight, of which would be appreciated; specs below-
