Question Cyberpunk crashing, or GPU is dead ?

Hello, I recently bought Cyberpunk 2077 ultimate edition and after 3 or so hours of playing I have been crashing. I noticed that 4/5 crashes have been during cutscenes/loading times, and one has been mid combat. I am using MSI afterburner to check my GPU temps and other stuff and nothing seems out of the ordinary. I noticed that if I increase my Memory Clock speed the crashing stops but then I get flickering green screens that I've talked about in previous posts.

My only ideas for why this is happening is Cyberpunk issues, PSU isn't enough, or my GPU is toast. If anyone has experienced similar issues or knows how to fix this problem, please let me know.

I also noticed my GPU wattage is around 200+ frequently and that's the only reason why I think it may be my PSU. Also the crashes only crash me to steam it doesn't restart my PC so that is why I believe it could just be cyberpunk I will update if I experience any more crashes. When I crash it says "Cyberpunk flatline"

Specs;
OS; Windows 11
GPU; asrock phantom gaming 5700xt
CPU; ryzen 5 5500
Motherboard; AsRock B550M HDV
PSU; Be quiet! Pure power 12m 550 WATTS
RAM; VIPER PATRIOT 2x8gb 9DE00285-PVE2416G400C0K 4000 MHZ
Memory; acer predator gm7000 512gb

AMD seems to recommend 700W PSU, with a minimum of 600 of which would most certainly have to be a quality unit.

I think I might try to pull some clock and power limit out of the GPU, lower settings a smidge, and see if it quits crashing for that. As an overall, I would consider a PSU with higher output.

Would reducing the Memory clock speed do this or do you mean something else?

You should be able to power limit the GPU if not by wattage then by percentage. I have my 3080 running at 75% power most of the time (drops my model to 300W) just to keep the power consumption under control as most of what I play really doesn't need it. In your case if you're doing percentage I'd say run it at 80% power just for testing purposes.

Oh I was doing +50 in MSI I changed it to -20

This didn't work, know any other ways?

Although there is one thing I just dont understand. PCPARTBUILDER and MSI afterburner both suggest my setup gets to 430 watts at most. Is there something I am not calculating correctly? Or is it that the PSU isnt pushing enough to the GPU?

EDIT: Never mind, my CPU cooler takes 70 watts, making it around 480

Many power calculators (and all bottleneck calculators) are garbage. Not worth the time to use and definitely not to rely upon.

Your GPU is usually the highest power draw component and manufacturer recommendations should be applied.

Your current PSU is underpowered per the GPUs recommendations.
