GPU Hang / sudden frame drop - yet another simple solution

[Wurzel]

I had the "GPU Hangs" issue myself with my RTX 2060. After updating the drivers, I didn’t get any exceptions anymore, but suddenly the game would drop to 2 FPS at random, and I had to reload to fix it.

I read a lot on Reddit and Steam about this—specific driver versions, updating C++, weird BIOS tweaks that didn’t really make sense to me. What actually helped in my case was surprisingly simple:

Open the NVIDIA app → go to “Performance” → run the Auto-Tuning once. That’s it.

Also, I turned off Anti-Aliasing for performance reasons — not sure if that contributed, but it might have helped too.

So far, the issue hasn’t come back.

NVIDIA is not showing support for arma reforger

I have recently upgrade my computer to an rtx 4060 ti from an rtx 2060 so I have some performance results you can compare to as a baseline, help you figure out what is healthy
with an RTX 2060
Prev computer specs:
11400
4x8gb 3200 ram
b560 mobo
sata ssd
RTX 2060 6G
Mid-high settings 4xmsaa 3500m distance would get me about 60-80 fps 1080p, infrequent drops to 45 in multiplayer

true, but you can auto optimize without that.

how exactly when it only says not supported when I manually ad ArmaReforger_BE.exe to the program list? Is there a different .exe to add?

I just refunded it. Game completely locks up when Im using a 5090, 9800X3D and 64Gb of RAM.

Based off his comment "Open the NVIDIA app → go to “Performance” → run the Auto-Tuning once." he is referring to the overclocking utility. Auto Optimize is something completely different and Reforger is not supported. Its extremely unlikely that his overclocking did anything in terms of stopping GPU hangs, unless it is under-clocking or under-volting the GPU.

More likely disabling AA would make a difference or it could be a placebo effect, since GPU hangs can vanish mysteriously for days then return for no apparent reason. Its more likely that the GPU hang has to be addressed from the developers end, not a setting on the users end.

Hmmm, I was able to tune this in Nvidia control panel and manage it with Coredirector (different pc but still same in previous) HOWEVER my arma.exe was most certaintly not called that, it had steam in its name, ill double check when I get home

My fix for GPU HANGS after the 1.3 was to disable Steam overlay + for better experience I think rollback to 566.36 for Nvidia drivers (4080 Super)
