Should I roll back drivers for Zotac RTX 5070 Ti in BF2042?
This game is an absolute nightmare for GPUs in 128-player mode. My Zotac RTX 5070 Ti would just black screen and reset the driver—it was honestly laughable. VRAM was swinging between 13.1-15.8GB and temps were fine at 72-78℃, but the TDR delay in the background was screaming. I tried underclocking by 100MHz, but it still crashed; clearly, the driver was just broken. I used DDU to wipe everything and rolled back to a stable version from three months ago, then killed every single third-party overlay. After a 4-hour stress test at 100% load, zero crashes and a steady 110-135 FPS. The only downside is that the game takes about 5 seconds longer to boot now, but I'll take that over a crash any day. Fans are at 1800-2100 RPM, temps at 68-74℃, and frame times are locked at 11.2-13.5ms. I exported the Event Viewer logs just to be sure.
