How to stop random crashes on Zotac RTX 5070 Ti in AC Shadows?
Every time I hit a rainy scene with Ray Tracing enabled, the game just vanishes to the desktop. It's incredibly frustrating and completely unacceptable for a card this price. The core on the Zotac RTX 5070 Ti was dropping below 0.9V under extreme loads, causing calculation errors that triggered a driver reset. I tried turning off all RT settings, but the game looked bland, and that felt like a waste of time. I used Afterburner to add a +0.05V core voltage offset and set a custom fan curve to hit 85% speed once the card hits 75℃. In a 3DMark stress test, temps dropped from 82℃ to a stable 74-78℃, and I didn't have a single crash in two hours. I actually overshot the voltage at first and hit 88℃, so I backed it off to +0.03V to find the sweet spot. Now it stays at 72-76℃ and runs perfectly. I've exported the profile so I don't have to redo this.
