Hello, I have a problem.
I recently built a new gaming PC to play World of Warcraft for around $1300 total. I was very satisfied with everything until I recently discovered a problem.
Randomly in WoW raids, anywhere from 10 minutes to 30 minutes in, my screen turns black and loses connection to the GPU. I can still hear the sound for about 15 seconds, then the sound kind of gets stuck and replays the sound it's on perpetually until I have to hard reboot. Mind you, when this problem is happening my FPS are anywhere from 60-100+ on ultra and my GPU's temperature is averaging in the mid 60s and peaking at around 75 degrees.
Notes: This has only happened to me in raids so far and it only seems to happen when I set the render scale to anything more than 100% (I want to run with render scale at 160%). Render scale just means the game is being render at 160% of 1080 so in this scenario its rendering at 3072 x 1728. When I run with the regular graphics settings at Ultra, there are absolutely no issues in raids, but when I changed the advanced settings (including render scale) via GeForce Experience then the problem arises.
Is the render scale causing my problems? Some other advanced settings?
The settings I am trying to use are the NVIDIA GeForce optimal settings recommended for my card (which run at a great FPS, however I get the random black screens):
Anti-aliasing - Custom
All the preset Ultra settings, so everything on Ultra
MSAA 8x/8x
Multisample Alpha Test - Enabled
PPAA - None
Render Scale - 160%
Resample Quality - Bicubic
Resolution 1920x1080
SSAO - Ultra (NVIDIA HBAO+)
Texture Filtering - 16 Anisotropic
My monitor is the ASUS VN248H-P 1920x1080
Specs:
Intel i5-4690k (not overclocked)
CM Hyper 212 Evo
ASRock Fatal1ty z97 Killer
G.Skill Ripjaws 8GB @ 1866
EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SC
EVGA 600B 600W 80+ Bronze
I have reinstalled all the latest drivers, stress tested the GPU/CPU with no probems, etc. Temperatures are all fine.
Please help, I want to use the NVIDIA GeForce optimal settings without getting randomly black screened. If you can, please let me know what the problem is.
Thanks!
