Game shuts down my video card

[infestedchris]

After a while of playing the game it will just turn off visuals on my monitors. I lose all video input. I have to force restart my computer which fixes it. As of right now, not going to risk playing this if its going to corrupt my video card.

Try monitoring your hardware while playing the game or check the crash logs.

It sounds like your gpu may have heating issues or a psu issue if it's not powerful enough for the high demand.

Also make sure you are limiting your fps as some games can cause issues if you do not do this as it can create a lot more demand then it can handle.

Here are my system specs
Nvidia RTX 3070
intel i7-10700k
32gb of RAM
1080 60hz

standard computer made it for cyberpunk in 2020

after the first black screen I cleaned out the computer of dust. Then it happen again.

Played lots of demanding games where my PC would scream loudly but never anything like this. This is 100% the game. No other game makes my video card just shut down even when it sounds like a 747 jet is going on inside the case.

If you can cap fps do it. That loud screaming you hear is the death throes of your card. Go easier.

We need to do a study to see if the majority of players even know about graphics settings and how to use them. Maybe steam should produce a few friendly PC settings/hardware guides.

You card is shutting down itself to prevent damage. Turn down details/shadows/fps or even better refund the game when you can.

This. Clamp FPS at something reasonable and turn down the graphics.

I ran your specs here. It does look like you have bottleneck and it recommends you upgrade your CPU running at 1080p. Incidentally, you'd reach less of a bottleneck running in 1440p. Which MAY help so your system isn't struggling to do things. But you'd have to get a monitor that supports 1440p. Either way I'd recommended looking into a cpu upgrade. Your GPU is mid tier to (low) high tier if that makes sense.

Hello,
Which version of the nvidia driver?
I'm asking that because my brother experienced crashes with GPU lockup in multiple games (eg. Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077, X4 Foundation, Elex 2) recently and after some test we found that the 570.x driver series (any of them) is the culprit. Rolling back to the last 550.x driver returned all games to previous working condition (This was on Linux, but it could be common to all architectures).
Regards.

Since you are playing on a 60 Hz monitor, cap your framerate to 60 always with every game. Any extra frames above 60 are not displayed for you on that monitor, they are completely wasted and only make your GPU & CPU draw more power for absolutely nothing.

My monitor for example is 144 Hz, so it can display up to 144fps when gaming.
