Gigabyte Vega 64 random crashing forcing a restart in-game?

[powlesY]

I boughta B-Grade here with a lot of apprehensions due to the cards reputation. Up until now it's been fine but i hadn't really been doing much gaming. I was told on these forums it can perform very well and is a good buy. In terms of FPS and everything else it really was a steal for £200 back half way through the first lockdown. Sometimes it can get very loud but as i haven't gamed much it hasn't been a problem.

Anyway, i only really play CSGO and Rocket League so not demanding games at all. CSGO was fine for the first few months but then I experienced a couple of crashes where the screen would go all black and then no response/i'd have to restart. Now I'm experiencing the same with Rocket League. It's unpredictable when it will happen, sometimes I can play for a few hours and get no problems at all - sometimes it's within 10mins of loading up the game.

Does this sound like it could be the fault of the card with a bad reputation or something else?

try playing with AMDs metrics open (alt + R in game and go to the performance tab) and keep an eye on temps as you play.

I already did that, had it open on my second monitor and temps seemed fine. :/

I had a long history with my Vega 56 having a black screen and 100% fans or horrible buzzing noise through speakers. After trying most sugegstions somebody on here said flush the old drivers and try the AMD enterprise drivers, I have not had a crash since. Good luck

My Vega64 died recently and was doing this at first sorry.

It now boots us fine with LED's and normal fans but won't display anything at all. Such a shame as was it was a great card.

Bought a 6800 to replace it but would love to get it fixed, currently it's a pretty big paperweight

I'll have a go with some different drivers. To be fair i havent updated in 3-4months, maybe thats the cause.

Ah crap. I hope not! I only bought it from here 3-4months ago!
