Rainbow Six Siege Freeze and crash on Ultra settings

-Intel Core i7-7700K
-EVGA Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB Black Addition
-16 GB of G-Skill 3000Mhz
-Asus Strix Z270F
-All drivers up to date using DRIVER Booster PRO
-New system build and windows installed fresh
-Custom water cooled pc

I just bought Rainbow six Siege and when trying to play on Ultra settings I get a quick freeze and a few seconds later game crashes me back to the desktop. I can play on low settings and complete a full scenario game with no problems on low settings. I noticed this freeze and crash only happens when im in a firefight with the AI.

Don't really trust tools like this so go to the respective sites for the next and download the latest drivers there,also maybe see if you have the latest bios,

-Asus Strix Z270F

-16 GB of G-Skill 3000Mhz

for this ram enable XMP in the bios if not done so already.

Yeah I’ve tried it and it doesn’t work.

So which psu do you use? Means maker+model+wattage.

Can check sensor readings the next way,

download hwinfo64,
install and open it,
check "sensors-only",
click "run".

maybe this will show something. Maybe temps too high or voltages unstable. Check ones in a while for that ingame.

Ok so I went to lowest settings possible and boy oh boy what I saw was pure horror. Artifacts with 60's retro pixels. Its safe to say video card was toast and finally showed its true colors. I have a photo I will try and post later. Thanks for the responses gents. For the power supply question I have a Corsair 1000WATT (RMX) 80+ gold.

I did a Memory Diagnostics check as well and RAM checked out with zero issues so I am really hoping that the video card was the only culprit. Well now its time to get busy draining fluids and taking things apart and reapplying thermal paste while I have the loop down and components taken out.

yeah. look like gpu issue.

 

[Vic 40]

You have a waterblock on it,does it also do this with the stock cooler?

 

[element44777]

I haven’t tried it but I gave up after a week straight of trouble shooting. Sent it to a local computer tech. Store to let them figure it out.

 

[Vic 40]

Okay.

We'd like to hear what it was.
