It's not just BF6 anymore. It may have just been timing. I launched several other historically stable games afterwards and they started crashing to desktop or giving off weird errors. I again wiped the machine so just the OS was installed, then installed and attempted to play Fallout 76. Blue...

Evidence suggests my CPU is to blame, which likely means it's on its way out. So, I decided to buy all new parts to go with the 5090 (too bad, bootyluvr). Hopefully should find out late tonight/tomorrow if I just threw away two grand for nothing.

Turn it 90 degrees and you'd see why it's garbage. It's a slice and not a half sphere. I'm not a Star Wars fan so my opinion is largely meaningless, but the aforementioned deficiency should render this "overpriced".

Realistically, I have no room to build nor display it. But I still want it.

I may have figured this out. This game does not like 4x frame generation. Not even 3x. I've switched it to 2x, which is what my 4090 used to do. Now, the game is stable. Go figure.

Lowest settings with v-sync disabled, still crashes almost the exact same time every time. I think I'm giving up on this game.

The BIOS update addressed the over-voltage issue some time ago, so that's now managed through a BIOS setting. I've tested that too, but toggling them made no difference. I really shouldn't have to do that for any one game though. I suck at these games anyway due to the degradation of my cellular...

What a looker :hitit:

webby got me nostalgic, digging up old photos
