Question Ryzen 5 8600G causes crashes in The Witcher 3 even with stable 60 FPS performance.
Specs:
Processor:
AMD Ryzen 5 8600G (6C/12T, 4.3GHz base, 5GHz boost)
Graphics:
Integrated Radeon 760M
RAM:
Apacher DDR5-6000 32GB
Motherboard:
MSI Pro B650-M WiFi
IGPU Memory Allocation:
Changed from default
512MB
to
4GB
PC Type:
Prebuilt
, purchased
last week
Issue Description:
I recently bought a
prebuilt PC
, and I'm experiencing
random crashes
in
The Witcher 3
. The game runs
smoothly at 60FPS
on
default lowest settings
, but it crashes unexpectedly. At first, I thought it was tied to a specific scenario, but after testing different conditions, the crash still happens.
The
performance itself is great
, no noticeable stuttering or frame drops, but these crashes are frustrating.
Troubleshooting Attempts:
Tried avoiding the suspected scenario, but the crash still happens
Ensured drivers are up to date
Adjusted IGPU memory allocation to 4GB
Since this is a
new prebuilt PC
, could it be a hardware issue, driver-related, or something else entirely? Would appreciate any advice!
Hello there,
Could you tell me what power plan you're using? Are your chipset drivers current? Which BIOS version are you running?
Initially, it seems the game is reaching the 4GB limit of the integrated graphics, which could cause a crash.
What power plan are you using?
Is this configuration still balanced?
Are your chipset drivers current?
I checked the driver through Device Manager; the processor and Radeon are up to date.
I faced a similar issue a few years back with Radeon drivers and The Witcher 3 next gen update. The crashes to the desktop every ten minutes, particularly when using DX12, were a major concern. This contributed to my decision to return my 7900xtx. I'm unsure if this problem has been resolved since then. Do you encounter the same issue with other games? If you're running the enhanced version and have DX12 turned on, try switching to DX11. It may not fully solve the problem but should make it much better.
