I'm a stingy piece of shit when it comes to my PC though :lol: But for some reason blizzard games are consistently spiking my GPU usage and of course then my PC crashes. Not even talking blue screen - both screens go black and I get an audio buzz, no inputs do anything and I have to hard boot. Happens randomly, maybe after a couple hours of playing.
Only blizzard games. Makes me think it's got something to do with how they code their graphics. I just pre-ordered Overwatch though so I don't wanna get to the beta next weekend and have it crash every hour or so.

And yeah, my buddy ordered the 4770k for his behemoth PC and they sent him to :lol: told him to keep the second one so he shipped it to me. Never a bad thing to be friends with someone who ends up in oil making $250k+ per year..


haha yeah man i'd probably try and snag a gtx960 if you can

i think that fits your price range and it's a great card

blizzard games are generally pretty good looking and fairly well optimized for how good they look
if you think blizzard games spike your gpu go play poe that game runs so bad :lol:

Well it's just weird, because I can play MGSV just fine, and Dark Souls 3, on medium-to-medium high settings. But I've got everything dropped to low and no shadows on D3 but it's still happening.

its prob more just server lag vs fps drops if thats the case
i got a old ass pc 2.8ghz 4 core with 6g ddr2 ram and the gtx 550ti
and run d3 on like all medium-high settings with no issue and the med settings are mostly the lack of a better cpu

Yeah I dunno man. I think it might be a compatibility between the card and the game, because sometimes it won't crash but it'll kick me back to my desktop and say the driver failed. So I'm fairly confident it's a GPU issue.
I've tried the current driver and the last 2 drivers, happens with each one and in both D3 and Heroes of the Storm. Nothing else.

Don't even really care what the exact problem is, I'm just ready to buy a new graphics card and be done with it. Mine's a dinosaur anyway.

oh yeah that happns with nvidia
half the time i update i get shit wrong with my current games cuz they fixed it for a game my card cant even run so i try to not update it now
sometimes ican overload my browser with tabs and it crashes my gpu driver :rofl:
screen goes black everything fucks up for a second and then windows is like " nvidia driver crashed but windows has recovered"
happens during games but not often i found changing it to all performance in the nvidia panel seemed to help lessen the crashing

maybe try that in the nvidia panal it has like graphics 50/50 split or performance i set it to performance
my graphics havnt gotten lesser and the cards crashed like twice since doing that vs the 20 timese it prob would have normally

or maybe even go to d3 properties and run them into old direct x and shit like that theres so many things that can cause it thats why computers suck when they dont work perfectly


are you using windows 10? could even be that i know ppl with 10 that have had decent amount of issues with games not working great on 10
