Possible bad overclock. Many pics! Plz help.

Badbren · Jan 28, 2017

So I am having some difficulties getting a steady clock from Afterburner.
I have ran p95 for 2 days and did not shutdown or anything so my system is stable..but im still having some glitchy issues. When I run Forza Horizon 3 (Kinda graphic heavy game) sometimes i still get spammed at the top "Low Video Memory" and is just cutty and glitchy all around. It hasnt been the same since I installed new RAM which is now Viper 16GB (2x8GB) DDr3 PC3-15000 1866MHz

Here is my stock Afterburner and Hardware up. Note it is under stress because the game is currently open but minimized.
I have a feeling it is a RAM issue.

Here are more pics of stuff..

Youve already posted this. Wait for someone to answer you instead of spamming it.

You do realize that low video ram is because the VIDEO card is running out of memory, right, not the computer? Lower the game graphics settings and you should do better.

My build,

MB: MSI 970A Gaming Pro Carbon
Graphics: EVGA GeForce GTX 960 2GB FTW
RAM: 16gb(2x8gb kit) DDr3 Patriot-Viper, PC3-15000 1866 MHz
PSU: Corsair 750W
CPU: AMD FX 8370
SSD: Samsung EVO 250gb
HD: 1TB HD

I upgraded my Motherboard to that 970A Carbon, and got the new processor, and RAM. And then started running into these problems. Before, with my 4GB of Ram I had...I could not open Forza Horizon 3 at all..
I could run World of Warcraft on Ultra settings with my old specs..now with this new one, even WoW gets extremely glitchy. Have a feeling its RAM or OC problem.
Was running Forza on Geforce Experience Customized LOW Settings and WoW on just High...and was even glitching on that..theres definitley a problem I shouldnt be having a problem with these games as my system is decent enough to run that stuff..

Don't need to duplicate thread

Download and install GPU-Z: https://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/SysInfo/GPU-Z/
Hit the Sensors tab and log your GPU usage. I'm thinking you're probably going well over 2GB VRAM, but this will verify it.

Badbren · Jan 28, 2017

I started a sensor log, opened World of Warcraft, and yes just by this i know i was maxing memory. But i shouldnt be maxing on medium settings with that card .. :/

Back when i had 8GB of ram and a crappier graphics card i was running wow on some Ultra settings.

When I manage to get like 2 hours of playtime out of Forza Horizon 3 at the lowest settings possible, it was spamming Low Video Memory the whole time. But i upgraded my build based on what Forza's PC minimum specs list was and I should fall in the Medium Range. Jsut from the fact WoW is glitching and freezing proves that the memory is maxing on my card. Just dont get how its worse now than when i had my old crap Vid card, Processor, Motherboard and Ram.

Badbren · Jan 28, 2017

In Afterburner, no matter what i do to the Voltage, Memory, or Core clock, the gpu load always stays at 98/97%

About to just junk this pc and build a new one. Cant even open a game now

rgd1101 · Jan 29, 2017

Did you reinstall os after you upgrade the cpu and mobo?
Try undoing your OC?

Badbren · Jan 29, 2017

I just reinstalled windows and finished with all the updates. Computer is stable. I still get spammed low video memory in a game. I guess ill just buy a new graphics card and save the headache

Elysian890 · Jan 29, 2017

It says low VIDEO memory, not low SYSTEM memory, your card is only 2GB, also, please, disable turbo-core if you want to get it stable, games like wow are glitching because your OC is unstable, most of your BIOS settings are set to [Auto] ... p95 does the same thing over and over again, you could run it for a week and still get a crash while trying to open notepad, p95 and other stress tools are just for reference, games and demanding programs are the real benchmark
