4k Crash Fix! Batman Arkham Origins (Zotac GTX1080ti Amp! Extreme Core Edition)
0Disclaimer: This work around Fix might not work for you. It is specific to my version of the card, Zotac GTX1080ti 11gb AMP! Extreme Core Edition, and might not work for other models.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ISSUE: Game crashes to desktop with a fatal error
Workaround FIX:
-Download and install MSI afterburner
-Break link between Power Limit and Temp Limit
-Set power limit to 85%
-Leave Temp limit to 84c
-Apply
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Probable cause of the crash:
-My PSU only has single rail +12v rated at 60a. All components on the system uses +12v rail from your 24pin motherboard, 4+4pin cpu, Sata, Molex, Fans, down to the 6+2pins for GPU. 60a is not enough for a Zotac AMP! Extreme with 2x Power boost.
-Founders edition GTX1080ti's 100% power limit is only 250w while this Zotac AMP! Extreme core edition's 100% Power limit is 320w. Setting power limit to 85% lowers the power draw to 253w.
-Boost clock of this GTX1080ti Amp! Extreme core edition is only 1721mhz based on GPUZ details. But when gaming or benchmark, boost clocks go way beyond and pushes to 1980Mhz up to 2037Mhz. That is like overclocking your system w/o your permission. Higher clocks pulls higher power draw.
