Crashing While Gaming

[Punith1756]

hi guys, i bought a new Galax gtx 1660 ti ,which was performing quite well . but lately if am gaming for just an hour or two i start getting a drop in fps and at times even the game would crash , So i already benchmarked the gpu, couldnt find any problems and there was no problem with the temperature either. can someone please help me out with this issue. (Sorry for my lack of English speaking skills)

Well dude did u benchmark for 2 hours?

 

A 5 to 90 minute  bench wont solve ur problems if they happen  after 90 mins. Think about it.

 

Sometimes  the sensors on your board cant detect temp issues in small but crucial places (gfx card vrm or vram) and since this  sounds like an overheating issue you may want to look into either pci fan s for $10 on amaz0n or newegg or gfx card case augmentation  by arctic like the twin turbo. Perhaps 8mm copper heatsinks  on the card would help.

 

Without more info u have me just educated guessing.

Thank you for the help.

No I did not run the benchmark for hrs, but the performance just keeps going down . And the highest temp it has reached is 63 degree celsuis .

Did you use DDU before installing your new GPU?

Sure the problem is the GPU and not other things as the cpu ? Overall thermals ?

yes i already tested for memory and hardik no issues there , for cpu i ran prime 95 but after 20 to 30 mins it once went upto 95 degrees celsuis but then it was running most of the time at 84 degrees . i have the stock cooler from amd ryzen 5 3600 not the wraith one the stealth one

have you tried setting the nvidia control panel setting to "prefer maximum preformance"?
