So I have a 10% overclock on my Radeon RX 480 gaming X. I've only used it for a few days and the game I'm playing, TCGR: Wildlands, is running just fine with a bit higher FPS than before the OC, which was what I expected. Now today it keeps glitching and crashing constantly. I'm using MSI afterburner to keep an eye on things, temperatures stay under 65°C. Right after this issue began, I updated the driver but it didn't solve the problem. I've tried removing the OC, but the game still crashes in the same way. Does this suggest the game is the issue or that my GPU is damaged? I've noticed the voltages don't reach the levels I set in afterburner and the power output fluctuates a lot—usually around 115-120, but then it drops to 85-90 and my FPS decreases. My CPU usage stays around 60% or lower, so I'm not sure what's going on.

Is there a chance it crashes during gameplay?

I just tried it last night, but it only runs on Wildlands. That seems to be the most demanding game on my GPU right now. I’ve also noticed the voltages aren’t rising as high as I intended. Using afterburner shifted the slider to +50mv, which should raise the max voltage (set at 1390mhz) to 1.2v. According to the OSD (rivatuner, afterburner), it keeps fluctuating constantly, even though the core clock remains steady at 1390, but never exceeds 1.186v. The power levels also vary a lot—ranging from 110 to about 120 watts down to 80-90 watts—while keeping 1390mhz constant and nothing unusual happening in the game (whether I’m stationary, moving, or in combat, not due to pauses or breaks). Is this typical?
