Arma 3 freezes after ~5 minutes because of GPU OC

Recommended Posts

I was trying to figure out why my Arma3 randomly freezes after playing for about ~5 minutes.

After it freezes gpu usage goes to 0% while cpu is still 40%, only way to get out the game is closing it via taskmgr, cmd or restart.

 

After some troubleshooting i reset my gpu's oc and it now works perfectly fine, but why does that happen?

My gpu usage is barely 60% when ingame and the temp doesn't go over 55C°.

 

I can run furmark 30 minutes long without a single artifact or problems at all.

 

Specs:

i4790k @ 4.9ghz

EVGA 1070 FTW

Power limit 112

Core +130

Memory +550

I don't understand the question. It doesn't crash when you don't overclock and it does crash when you do.

And you want to know what causes this?

Yes everything works fine without overclock and the issue is fixed.

But i wanna know why it happens when the card is overclocked, because i want to keep it overclocked and not always reset it when playing arma3.

Sorry for the confusion.

But you don't need to overclock a 1070 unless you are trying to drive multiple very large monitors

I don't need it for arma, but i do play other games on 4k where the overclock is worth the extra few frames.
