(actually it was the only RTX 2080 Ti available at the time). It’s an Inno3D brand… the cheapest RTX 2080 Ti that was available at the time. But I don’t think I’m comfortable enough to open up my GPU to check the paste. Maybe my i9-9900K, and RTX 2080 Ti is the most unstable and underperforming in this forum. The decision on what you should do is entirely your decision and shouldn’t be influenced by anyone else. Same thing that I don’t really take advice at a face value from other people that does their own thing.Įach of us have different systems and different use in our PCs. Just because I have to do things a certain way myself that doesn’t mean other people should do the same. I’m just saying about my experience That doesn’t mean it’s an advice for other people to follow. Usually what I use is to underclock the GPU only by around -300 MHz, that usually stabilise my system, even if I’m losing a few FPS. And I’m getting less shutdowns like these. I only upgrade my CPU cooler and fill up the case with case fans and proper airflow. And this is coming from the exact same hardware, same PSU, same everything. Even so, it only happens from time to time. I still get them from time to time, but only from very high-demanding AAA games running at Max settings at 4K. I have to say that I’m getting shutdowns a lot less frequently. Then since I got so fed up with it, I bought a larger case, and slapped every hole with a fan, so that it has a larger room to breathe and airflow that goes through all the components. And everytime it does, my PC case is boiling hot… Usually what happens before a shutdown was a high increase in RPM on all my fans (CPU, Case, GPU) to full power, then suddenly the power just cuts then reboots. At the time, I was building a small form factor PC, so I use mini-ITX motherboard in a compact case, and all my hardware are running at stock speed. It could also be thermal issue as well right? I have 750W PSU, and I’ve been getting shutdown like this even when my PC was all brand new. Ultimate solution will be getting a new PSU, I was anyway eyeing a new GPU - but don’t know when that’ll happen ! I am not sure what changed lately - Could be ageing (PSU is 1 year old) and I play only during weekends.ĭefinitely, will try to undervolt the GPU a bit to see the effect. It could be that there was still a thin margin, but a sudden spike would take it down. I noticed that when I was near the ground, the average power draw was higher it was drawing between 143 and 211 W. In both cases, the GPU power fluctuates between 136 and 180 W with occasional spikes (but less than 210 W). (I need to mention that the Quest 2 uses the USB port which itself charges the headset - will need to test through airlink) Without VR, the power draw on the GPU was around 200 W (max) I ran some test scenarios this morning and used the same route with and without VR. Yes, most likely the PSU tripped, but this protection was triggered by a spike. I could see some posts where this phenomenon also occured on 1000W PSUs.Įither my PSU is largely ineffficient and falls below 50% - which could explain that it operates on the margin with the system requirement and trips when there is a spike or that the game has an issue which needs fixing…or both…or something else. I don’t know whether this is a contributor.Īs for a new PSU, I would like to explore all avenues (including undervolting my GPU/ CPU) before buying a new one. I used to fly GA in the UK (worked fine), now I am in Sweden and there are a lot more trees in the scenery. I am also worried about bad sectors, data corruption and other failures due to this sudden shutdown. I haven’t checked the connections properly, will do so and reseat them well. I never used to experience this problem and it started quite recently. I used pc part picker to estimate the power and it comes to 344Wĭuring the game i monitor the power usage and could only obtain from the GPU (220W) and CPU (46W) I spent some time tweaking the system and it works fine - no stutters. While checking the forum posts, i could note that all of them relate to PSUs however, i was not experiencing this issue since I got my pc (1 year ago). I have been experiencing whole pc shut downs recently.
