Hi.
So today I launched diablo IV for the first time this month and ofcourse its crashed to desktop: (Thread ‘RenderThread’ handling fatal error) (Fenris error) within 5 min. I turned off my undervolt and v’oila, it didint crashed and I played for 30 min. My undervolt settings are very mild, 1965/950 on rtx 3070 ti and can handle 3d mark time spy extreme stress test without any problems, other games also works like charms. Blizzard c’mon, fix your game.
Well, then it’s not that stable. That’s the reason you shouldn’t be doing this. If you’re lucky and have flawless chips, they can run stable at lower voltages at the same frequencies, and if not, they can’t.
The hardware has a stability margin. You spend it by overclocking/undervolting. You can’t find the boundary, even chip makers can’t do that, otherwise they wouldn’t leave such a margin.
Don’t you see a problem when diablo 4 is more problematic to PC than EXTREME stress test?
3d mark stress test do 20 loops which take around 40 mins to do. Its not like anything like in this post.
It is impossible to prove stability with tests, except that it is stable enough to pass 20 rounds of stress in 3d mark. For most applications this stability is sufficient. Do you think that 3d mark stress is the most optimized application and there can’t be an application that puts more pressure on some part of the hardware than this test?
It may not even be the pressure of the load, but its pattern.
Hi guys,
I have this game crashing issue only when I am plugged in (laptop). Could you please advise how to limit the amount of electricity? There must be a setting that the game does not override, I feel like I ve tried everything in the power options,
Please help,
When the laptop is plugged in it can afford to go into higher performance modes in which you may be having a problem. Or it could be that you have a faulty power supply.
I don’t know how to do that. It depends on the laptop model. It depends on what settings are available in the BIOS.
The two main power consumers are CPU and GPU. Maybe CPU can be limited in BIOS, just by lowering TDP or some other setting that will indirectly lower TDP.
GPU is more complicated. Maybe it is possible to lower TDP through MSI AB, but I’ve never used laptops and probably can’t do that. You need to check.
People also do undervolt somehow, just like the author of the topic. You just need to lower the voltage and lower the frequency as well, until stability returns to you.
I’ll tell you right away that these are all non-standard settings and they are most likely poorly tested and you take all responsibility if something is incorrectly set or correct, but it will not work properly because of a bug in the software/firmware. This can be dangerous.
You’d better ask a similar question on another forum that specializes in hardware. There more experienced people may be able to help you.
Thank you very much for the information. Its a place to start I am willing to try anything to make this game work. Never expected it to be so problematic.
