[SOLVED] Please help - Fatal error, GPU not responding

[ᴼˢᵏᵃʳ]

For some reason the game has started to crash yesterday, at various stages starting as soon as I spawn into any map, sometimes i may be able to drive for a couple seconds. I've never encountered this problem before, I've spent a whole day troubleshooting the game now and I cannot figure this out at all... I've followed the pinned topic, anyone got any suggestions please?


FATAL ERROR: The GPU is not responding
D3D11 Error #887a0005


System specs:

System Model GP66 Leopard 11UH
Processor 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11800H
GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU
Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 32.0 GB
Total Virtual Memory 95.8 GB


Thank you

this'll sound stupid but is your gpu actually "enabled"? Like it might have accidentally had a 1 in a million chance of happening that its switched over to intergrated graphics?

I’ve checked the MSI app & the GPU is set to discrete rather than hybrid, so this unfortunately won’t be the issue

nvidia moment. this should have been fixed by the devs in 2019. all fingers are pointing at the nvidia drivers, so switch to some previous ones

I’ll give this a go now, seems strange (though it wouldn’t surprise me) as the only driver update I did was roughly a week ago & the game worked fine for a couple days afterwards. Anyways thanks for the suggestions

OP mentioned that things tried to render in too quickly thus causing his GPU to crash, I don’t think this is my issue as this happens on the plain grid map whilst spawning in the default stock pickup vehicle, thanks for the reply though

Okay so I've found the issue, it appears that BeamNG doesn't like when you Overclock past a certain point. In my case, within the MSI Center app, under GPU OC options If i exceed 110 MHz Core Clock Offset then my game will just crash my GPU and in some instances even cause my laptop to restart. It seems VRAM Clock Offset does not have the same effect.

PSA - If BeamNG crashes your GPU, turn down/off any overclock settings.

Don't overclock gpu... beam doesn't like it fsr...
