Fatal Error: GPU Not Responding

For a couple weeks now my game crashes saying my GPU is not responding.

I have tried a bunch of things with no luck and done everything the customer support told me to. I play this game all the time (1500 hrs) and recently the crashing has become more frequent making the game unplayable no matter which map or vehicle I am using.

I have also read through just about every forum post already trying each suggestion that was used to fix or try to fix the problem.

Which includes:

- Clearing cache a million times
- Deleting/unsubscribing from all mods and creating new user folder
- Reinstalling the most recent GPU Drivers using DDU & Reinstalling old GPU drivers from early 2022 using DDU
- Reinstalling Direct X
- Disabling Dynamic Reflections
- Slightly underclocked the GPU and ran it at 90% fan speed to ensure stability/temps
----- I DID ALL THESE STEPS WITH NO MODS ENABLED


Also I have been getting a similar error in Red Dead Redemption 2 saying that my GPU is not Responding. Whether the crashing of those two games correlate or not I'm unsure. But those are the only two games I have been experiencing crashes. Every other game such as Assetto Corsa, Mx Bikes, Insurgency: Sandstorm, do not crash.

Update.. After searching random threads involving GPU crashes I Installed Afterburner. Underclocked -50 on both memory and core clock and it seemed to to have done the trick so far.. I guess its not for certain but I was able to play for almost 2 hours today without a crash for the first time in weeks.

Prior to this I was using EVGA Precision to adjust GPU settings and it did not make a difference which is odd..

Haven't tried Red Dead Redemption 2 yet but if fixes that as well I will update this post..

 

i've been having the same kind of errors with an evga gtx 1080 sc
i guess i'm not the only one having these weird crashes lol
i'll do the underclock trick to see if that will fix it on my end

 

Let me know if It does the trick. My rtx 2080 is also a EVGA card. Im curious to see if that has something to do with it.

 

So I have been getting much longer playtimes..

But after playing for about 45 minutes today it crashed again same error.....

 

update: crashes are still happening

 

HWInfo to check temps/clocks. A 10% underclock, especially if the card is aging, won't go amiss. Some years ago I had to do it on my GTX580s.

 

I just randomly get this error out of nowhere. No matter what I do. This game is unplayable.
