Question My RTX 3060Ti gets DirectX crashes on some games.

[Joshy43]

Hey, I’ve had my PC for a year and a half now, the specs are Ryzen 5 5600X, ASUS RTX 3060Ti, Corsair Vengeance 32GB 3200Mhz, 1TB Samsung 980 SSD, ASUS Prime B550M-K, Corsair TX750M 80+ Gold. My issue is that when I play games like FN (cant say the name because it says my post is inappropriate?), Call of Duty Warzone, and BO6, it would crash very frequently giving me DirectX errors. I play the COD games through Xbox App, and these are the only games that crash. I play all games on the lowest settings for performance so I know its nothing to do with my parts having to work hard, I've also factory reset this PC 4 times since I've had it, and yes I have tried verifying each games files dozens of times. I always update to the latest NVIDIA graphics driver as soon as it is available and I know my RAM isn't causing the issue as I just upgraded to this 32GB kit from a 16gb kit. I think it is my GPU as it is always DirectX errors, I was just hoping someone would advise me with a way to fix this, Thanks.

3060 Ti still has only 8gb of VRAM. Are your game settings so high that you're regularly exceeding the VRAM limit? You may have dial back some of the eye candy to stay under 8gb. Running the highest raytracing settings, in particular, is known for pushing the VRAM requirements way up. You may have to lower to more modest levels of raytracing, like reflections only, to keep the VRAM requirement down, or use a more aggressive DLSS setting, like using Balanced, instead of Quality.

I have all of my settings down to the lowest and use NVIDIA DLSS on Ultra Performance and I have my VRAM target on 50%

Hey there,

Take the vram limit/target off. Does this help?

At those low settings you will be nowhere near even 50% usage. Capping it may cause the crashes.

Hey so I watched a YouTube video on how to fix it and it said try capping the usage to 50% and the default setting is 80% capping to 50% makes me able to play for way longer before crashing but I guess I could try 100% usage
