Aqua_HeaD Posted December 3, 2022 Posted December 3, 2022 (edited) Since I changed my GPU from my earlier RTX 2080Ti to my sons Ausus RTX 3080 TUF DCS crash every time randomly. It can happen within 5 minutes or after one hour. I have tried several different drivers from the old 472.12 up to the most recent 527.37 with the same result. I always use DDU in safe mode when I change drivers. My RTX 2080Ti has been working before I replaced it with the 3080 without any issues and also my old GTX 1080 work fine. I have tride to underclock/undervolt the 3080 but DCS still crash. My RAM memory has been checked without any issues and I have also checked my system SSD also without any problems. I can run both Heaven Benchmark, Firestrike and Furmark without any crashes. Any suggestions what can be wrong? dcs.20221203-190329.log dxdiag.txt Edited December 3, 2022 by Aqua_HeaD

Aqua_HeaD Posted December 3, 2022 Author Posted December 3, 2022 No I have not but I will do it immediately and see if it will be better.

Decrease your preload radius to max 60000 and set your pagefile to at least 32 GB initial on your fastest SSD. Problems should vanish then.
Hiob Posted December 4, 2022 Posted December 4, 2022 Have you monitored the temperatures of your system? Crashes after a certain amount of time passes could indicate a heat buildup issue. "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?"

I will try that. 1 hour ago, Hiob said: Have you monitored the temperatures of your system? Crashes after a certain amount of time passes could indicate a heat buildup issue. My GPU will stay around 70 degrees Celsius with max load. CPU temp will be way under that. If I run my chassis without the side glass the temp of the GPU will be ten degrees lower.

Aqua_HeaD Posted December 4, 2022 Author Posted December 4, 2022 The game will still crash with a larger pagefile and decreased preliad radius. I have opened up my chassi to get cool air inside and I have now tested all the RAM sticks alone in different slots and all sticks together but it still crashes.

Flappie Posted December 4, 2022 Posted December 4, 2022 I think we need ED support team on this one. Please open a support ticket: log into DCS website, click "Support", then "Create a new ticket". Send the link to this thread and explain them that you're not the only one having this exact same crash. In the meantime, can you retry using your former RTX 2080Ti without changing anything in your GPU driver. Does it keep crashing or not? ---
Aqua_HeaD Posted December 5, 2022 Author Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) I will send a message to the support team. I have now changed the card back to my RTX 2080Ti and I can fly without any issues (At least for just over an hour before i quit) I noticed somthing in the MSI Afterburner hardware monitior that I thought was a bit strange. The "Temp Limit" and "Power Limit" jumps up and down between 1 and 0 during the gaming. Maybe thats correct but dont remember that I saw that behaviour with the RTX 3080. Can anyone explain what that´s all about? The first picture inside the cocpit is with my RTX 2080Ti and the second picture from MSI Afterburner with the values from the RTX 3080 card at the same mission. Edit: The support team answered that it probably had with the driver to do and recommended me to update to the most recent one. I have already the latest driver at the moment and had also tested the majority of the old ones without any progress. They also told me to reduce the clock speed and I have tried that as well but I will make another try. Edited December 5, 2022 by Aqua_HeaD

Remove it with DDU, to make sure, everything is clean an shiny and try 522 or an even older one. 1

It’s so wierd and I have no more ideas what to test. The next thing are to buy new PSU, RAM and maybe a new GPU. I don’t want to just throw away money before I really know what causes those crashes since they only appear in DSC and not in Arma 3 or all those benchmarks and stress tests.

Friend of mine has the tuf 3080 10gb version and he as far as I know has had no problems he only runs stable version I run the beta will have a word with him tomorrow & see if he has had any problems but I sure he would of said. 1
Flappie Posted December 5, 2022 Posted December 5, 2022 Have you tried resetting your Nvidia Control panel options yet? (Restore default) And you can also enable Debug Mode to see if that helps (NVCP >About > Debug Mode). ---

Special K Posted December 5, 2022 Posted December 5, 2022 It's strange that it works with the 2080 TI without issues. And with the same drivers settings and options. It's very unlikely the GPU, but that sounds more or less like it..

I agree but I think it is still very strange that the GPU runs fine in other games and also overclocked in Heaven Benchmark, 3D Benchmark and Furmark for quit long sessions without any issues. That make´s me belive it is software related. I will take my sons PSU (Corsair AX1200i) and his RAM and try them in my PC but I am almost sure it will have no effect since I have tried the 3080 for a short period in his PC with random crashes in some of his games. Valorant worked great in his PC but not Modern Warfare II for example.
