[RESOLVED]CS:GO and 970 MSI OC

Hello,

After changing the bios of my card, I always have problems on CS:GO (screen freezes with sound that is repeated in a loop). I play low quality and I OC my card. Without OC it works flawlessly.
Here's what I changed the bios:



And the OC on AB :


The bios file for the others options : https://mega.co.nz/#!BZUhDJSZ!mQbTxK5Ht5FQFGjfDUNwFGHRXLzPBh3kXGVWeHPmRH0

It looks to be a known problem (http://www.reddit.com/r/overclocking/comments/2tzj6d/gtx_970_crash_with_low_gpu_utilization_bios/), but I still do not have the solution.

I hope to find help here.

Thanks. :)


Hi,

Images over 1,280 pixels wide should be placed in spoiler tags as I've done for you.

Cheers

And how is it that I have no worries about other games like Assassin's Creed Unity, Far Cry 4 or Ori and the Blind Forest recently ?
 
Some games just don't like Overclocks, like my X4 955 back in the day sat at 3.8Ghz happily for years then came along BF3, artifacts everywhere.
 
If you play at low settings the 970 should be hitting the frame limiter is CSGO of 299fps. I know my crossfire 7970's do with the game maxed out.

Could be CPU, csgo is more demanding on the CPU than the GPU.

I doubt that either the CPU, because I have made several stress test to test the stability of the OC and they passed without problem. And as said in the first post, without the OC GPU, I have no problem.

I have already set fps_max 300 on my autoexec file.

Besides, since I change the bios, I have less worries than with the default bios, so it must necessarily come voltages.
 
I passed 24h prime 95. 20 mins of crysis 3= crash. all you prove by running prime for x hours ia thar tou can run pime for x hours

* sorry for spelling, in phone + drunk lol
 
Why do you need to overclock the gpu for CSGO though, just set a profile to run it stock. You can run CSGO on a potato.

If that were the cause of the CPU, I think I'll have got a BSoD or a PC reboot. But when it spits, I simply froze the screen with sound that's looping. And when I have a little luck, I can return to the desktop with occasionally the error message "The display driver was unresponsive and was recovered"

This is what I do now, but I wish I had one OC profile, and avoid loading each time the profile that I need.
 
I used to get lock ups on CSGO constantly, couldn't get past the load screen. It meant I didn't play the game for 18 months after trying new installs of OS, re-installing the game several times, removing 1/2 GPU's, different CPU, removing all overclocks.

Then bought a new SSD, installed on that and its worked ever since. All other games and new games continue to work on the old SSD though. Go Figure.
