The game stops working after you push the GPU to its limit, but there seems to be no clear explanation for this issue.

BF6 was in beta, so I opted to optimize my GPU settings before testing other games. They tend to crash when the OC level exceeds certain thresholds — VVVV
I applied MSI Afterburner with these configurations: Core voltage +100, Core clock (MHz) +110, Memory clock (MHz) +1200, power limit (%) 106, Temp limit © 87, Fan speed: auto.
Temperatures stayed below 73 during play, even during a Heaven benchmark run without issues.
Errors: Game crashing errors occurred.
Games played included The Finals and Unreal Engine projects.
An Unreal process crashed with the error DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED.
Game throne and liberty issues were reported.
UE4-TL-1.363.22.3983 also failed.
Random errors occurred without any code output.
I’m somewhat aware of the GPU limits, but they’re insufficient since temperatures remain acceptable. This isn’t the main concern; rather, I’m seeking a solution or confirmation. I’ve tried various fixes—reinstalling Windows, re-installing games, updating drives, disabling RAM profiles, using sfc /scannow, and more—but nothing worked consistently.
Other troubleshooting steps included deleting programs like game bar, Razer apps, Xbox applications, etc., and turning off the RAM profile. I’ve also performed some general registry and service maintenance, though results were unsatisfactory.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
It seems like you're asking about the current state of OC and performance tuning. The technology has evolved, and manual overclocking is less effective now. The boost algorithms are highly efficient, so a manual overclock would only offer minimal gains compared to the standard version if stability is achieved. It's recommended to lower the GPU's voltage to free up more thermal capacity for the algorithm to adjust dynamically.
It seems there might have been an issue with the original configuration. I attempted to adjust the settings, but stability problems arose during higher OC sessions in BF6 beta. The issue appears to occur under high temperatures (70c-75c) even though benchmarks pass with slight OC adjustments.
It helped games run from 60fps to 85fps on average, and I believe it still performs well. I'm not very into overclocking, but I'm not concerned about temperatures dropping too much. The current temperature isn't even near 80°C, and I've seen the max this GPU reaches is 87. So I should have some room to increase it a bit more.
I'm sorry, I missed adding that. It seems like it could be an 850 gold Evga model. You might want to check if you still have the box along with possibly extra cables for the GPU.
Temperatures are just one factor to monitor. Instability can appear in various forms and under different conditions. A test such as Heaven might work, but then it crashes during a game. This isn’t reliable—either the speed needs adjustment or the voltage is too low, or the card is reaching its limits.
Most GPUs and CPUs are now grouped by manufacturers with limited extra headroom in many cases. They’re often overclocked to some degree, which may be the maximum allowed by the components.
If your card performed well before you tried overclocking, you should revert to the previous settings and accept that further improvements aren’t possible. If stability is still lacking, there could be another issue at play.
How are you tracking GPU temperatures? I’d check tools like HWINFO to see all relevant readings, including hotspot and memory temps.
To ensure your card's overclocking or UV stability is strong, try adjusting its parameters in Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition. In the game, set all graphics options to their highest levels and enable the frame rate. You can leave the game open for several hours, ideally overnight, and check your settings with tools like MSI Afterburner. No need for benchmarks or testing other games. This approach is effective because modern cards perform best under UV conditions, and lower temperatures help boost performance without increasing power draw.
Ah okay thank you I was only aware of temperature being the reason, but now I see that other stuff might be cause the problem. I use openharware monitor for temps and the max temp I have seen is 72. so temperatures are the the problem and that's why I was confused.
