7900 xtx crash city where the grass green and girls are pretty

[raven80wolfx2]

This game runs amazingly. No lag and max settings even in the most demanding areas. Issue is this game crashes all the time. Does anyone else have this issue? It doesn't matter if a cap fps or match my monitor 165 hertz don't overclock. Don't do anything it ran just fine on my gtx 1080 it didn't crash this much. All I did was swap out gpu and remove old drivers. This is only game that does it with this card. All my other games run amazingly and don't crash.

Yeah my audio is 48000 hz dvd. I don't use any audio enhancement apps or anything.

Also, given that you have a 7900 XTX it's entirely possible a combination of VBIOS, motherboard BIOS, and driver updates will resolve your issues.

Raven, I recently bought a 7900xtx and I'm also crashing alot. I changed it to windows 8 compatibly and seems to make it stable but you loose dx12.

I don't know if this might be at fault, but such clock speed changes are likely correlated with changes in power draw, and we already know there can be sharp transient spikes in power consumption which might trigger instability as the PSU tries to compensate.

One solution might be to fix the maximum GPU clock speed at the rated speed quoted in GPU-Z, which you can access via performance tuning:

https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/software-performance

Midway down the page you'll see an image of the advanced performance tuning functions: you can set the "max speed" to the nominal rated value quoted for your GPU. That said it's a little more complicated now because the core and shader clocks have been decoupled.

For me it does CTD just like any other dx12 game (GTX 1050 mobile). However, I manage to double the playtime between crashes with https://www.nexusmods.com/horizonzerodawn/mods/38?tab=description
As long as I don't ALT+TAB much or call for steam overlay I can play 3-4h. I notice crashes mostly based on "out of memory" when I do web browsing while the game is still active.

This seems to make it more stable. I am lasting a lot longer, but it still crashes. It's just interesting because I have 64 gb ram so it shouldn't be running out of memory.

I have update my bios to the latest ones. Updated to latest drivers there has only been 2 for 7900 series.

i have a 7900 xt and it crashes for me quite a bit too. playing at 1440P

[Mr.StuffSucker]

Started to crash for me too, mainly on cut scenes, but occasionally also on gameplay.
I played it to after the attack on the contest and after that, it started to crash. Rock solid earlier. 6900XT here.
Started to really enjoy playing it... That's a da** shame...

7900xtx might have a cooling fluid issue. Need to look at tjunction temperatures and stuff. Might be a recall.

One thing that's just been discovered is this:

(EDIT: Ninjaed :P I'll edit with the JayzTwoCents nickel tour version)

[raven80wolfx2]

I am not having thermal issues just like jay is not. Issue is the game or the drivers or combination of the two.

I would try to roll back drivers one or two. See how it works for you.

Temperatures are rock-solid on mine - keeps crashing. Sometimes it crashes within a few minutes of starting the game. Every other game is fine - it's only HZD.

[MALINWAH]

I had the same issue and reverted to Nvidia Drive 522.5, no issues now.

Figured I'd comment for posterity. I recently built a new PC with an 7700X, XFX 7900 XTX, 32 GB RAM, 1000 W PSU, and am also seeing a lot of crashes/driver timeouts specifically in HZD. I'm not sure if the game is bugged with 7900 XTXes, if the current drivers are trash, or if my hardware is somehow defective (I don't really see issues in other games though).

My thermals are great, my RAM and VRAM aren't getting close to maxed out, and performance is extremely good (>165 FPS all max settings) besides the crashes. I have verified that my motherboard BIOS is up to date, the GPU vBIOS is up to date, the drivers are up to date, Windows is up to date, have tried rolling back drivers, have tried restoring all undervolts/overclock to stock, have tried disabling MPO, etc etc.

Disappointing to be having issues with top of the line hardware, but I guess that's what I get for early adopting both AM5 and 7000 series RIP
