Gigabyte GTX 1060 Windforce Overclocking Hardware or Driver problem?
Go to solution
Solved by ZeGhostrider,
I think I fixed it finally.
Replying in case somebody has a similar problem.
- clean windows install again,
- downloaded and installed old 368.81 driver from Guru3D,
- had suspicions about Gigabytes OC software "XTREME GAMING ENGINE" causing problems, so did not install that this time,
- only Afterburner for OC,
- previous driver crash in games after 10-15 minutes even with stock clock speed was no longer present,
- went a bit easy on the OC at first +125Mhz core; +250Mhz memory + custom fan curve,
- 8 hours of Aida64 no problems,
- 4 hours GTA V no problems,
- running Witcher atm. also no problems so far.
Not 100% sure if the main problem was the xtreme gaming engine or newer Nvidia drivers being messy, or a bit of both.
