Rx6950 problem or is it ?.

[Chrispy_]

Forgive me for skimming the thread, but is your "new" PSU the seasonic 750W?

The RX6950XT is one of the more "spiky" GPUs in terms of transients. I don't know about the XFX model you have but >500W transients seem like a recurring theme for top-end RDNA2 cards:


For what it's worth, 3080 and 3090 cards were crashing even on good quality Seasonic/Corsair/EVGA PSUs stronger than yours, and they have LOWER transients than the 6950XT.

I hate to say it, but unless you have a 1000W+ PSU not listed in your system specs, you might still be seeing transient spikes that your PSU can't handle.

Try a heavier game than RDR2, maybe something with ray tracing, so you can rule out definitively that it's the game.

Only one i believe i have is the witcher and it's been fine with every thing maxed out for the passed 60 minutes.

Post #16, yeah yeah should update it but don't know if i am keeping it with this still being a issue and not liking the connectors on it.

System never shuts off.

AM5



Yeah that's a bit extreme even if it is the game i play the most.

Tried reinstalling, second time was without any windows updates going back a year or so.

Then the event 41 is a lie. This is specific to windows power down without being commanded.

So the error is more likely from you restarting the system than it is from the symptoms you have in game.

Yes, sometimes it takes extreme comments and thoughts to sort out a matter that includes little information.

These green and black screens I've had with 6000 series cards while overclocking and benchmarking. Usually because the driver becomes unstable with the overclock. I'm not saying you overclocked.... I'm saying the driver became unstable after a period of time.

 

[AsRock]

Well the vcard is being sent back and the PSU is too as one of the small clip just broke off so so fck that cheapsmall ass shit..

 

[Toothless]

As I just got my card today.

Sweet, sent mine in yesterday and hopefully will know soon..

hopfully it meets your requirements.

Yeah full ball though EEk. but i was lucky to see mine hit any more than 2k.

Well XFX said just send it back and they will even pay the postage back even if no fault is found, playing the waiting game now.

 

[AsRock]

Well XFX confirmed that it was not the card, really starting to think it's just a bad game bug as it's the only game it happens with.

XFX all so decided to send me another card just in case there is some thing wrong.

And been talking to Rockstar which turned out to be the typical BS that they give, for example ( winsock really OMG ). In fact been bugging them about it they have started to ask me to do things that have been tried before. It's the same crap not as i expected any thing else from them.

Some thing i decided to try was GTA 5 and on my AMD 390X which works perfectly in RDO, i got GTA5 while trying to minimize the game it did a hard reboot took a bunch of times but it happened.

Sure i am not minimizing RDO for it to happen but it's the same outcome.

Hi. Just seen your post. I have the same card same Brand and it happens to me too in only rdr2, only been playing story mode. What is it excactly happens for you?
For me is like this:

It suddently show a full green screen without any text at all, my xbox controller that is connected with wireless adapter blinking and lost connection, no sound nothing.
Only thing i can do is to hold the power Button on the pc until it shuts off.
Games that i have tried that Works perfectly:

Dying light 2
Cyberpunk 2077
Call of Duty cold war/ multiplayer
Fortnite
Plague tale requiem
Re4 remake

So the company that build my pc say they doubt it is a hardware issue since it only happen in one game. Last troubleshooting i had was to take a clean reinstall of Windows, so far so good been playing rdr2 for 2 hours now without issues, sometimes it could happen after 15 min and sometimes within the first 2 hours. Just need to play it more to see.

Would like to hear from you since its not much to find online about this.

 

[AsRock]

Things to try

-ignorepipelinecache command
Disable fullscreen optimizations
Reset shader cache ( in AMD's software )
Disabling AMD Smartaccess Memory ( in AMD's software )

I did notice Assassin's Creed Odyssey crashed the system too.

Other thought(s)
IF you get GRX err from the game your lowering the voltage to much
Might want to run dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth to make sure there's no corrupted file(s)

System specs might your power supply not up to it, even more so if your like me and use a lot of USB and drives.

I actually ended up RMA my card too and was about the time when the reboots stopped. But i replaced the PSU and card at the same time so cannot say which was at fault.

If you post the system specs maybe some one else can help you.

So now your issue is solved? Did you got the same card and what psu do you have?

My system spec:
i5 13500
Xfx 6950 xt
32gb ddr4 3600mhz
ASUS 760b motherboard
ASUS tuf 850w psu
2tb ssd 3000/2500

Not using anything else then a controller.

Did your system crashed and showed a pure green screen or did it crashed and restarted itself? Mine stop and i must do the restart with the power button.

 

[AsRock]

I do not have any hard crashes\reboots no more.

Green is due to using Vulcan and it will be black if using DX12

 

[outpt]

My understanding is that if it green screens it is a vram issue. But one game I don’t know if that holds up.

 

[Lost_Wanderer]

I had to use AMD's Driver/Software removal program, and roll back drivers in February to Nov. '22. I also had to update chipset drivers, motherboard BIOS etc.

System would reset when launching any game. Latest Adrenalin Software, and drivers (April onward) have been working fine for me. Tested with CP 2077, RDR2, BG3, Skyrim AE, and FFVII Remake.

My system specs if you're on mobile:

Ryzen 7 5800X3D
MSI X570 Unify
2x16GB Crucial Ballistix DDR4-3600 (CL 16, A-XMP)
2x2TB SK Hynix p41 Platinum
PowerColor RX 6950 XT Red Devil
Seasonic Prime TX-750

 

[Raybeze]

Did y'all figure out a fix for this issue?

I just picked up a xfx Merc 319 6950xt and I keep getting full system crashes in Rocket League of all games.

I've also managed to get crashes in Timespy

System specs
13600k
6950xt
Asrock Z790 Riptide
32GB DDR5 Kingston Fury Renegade
Corsair RM850X

I've tried using DDU, old and new drivers and a fresh windows install but it's not helping.

Yes issue never arrived anymore and it was only for rdr2, did a clean install of Windows and lowered my ddr4 3600mhz to 3200mhz

90% of PC instability are attributable to one of two things:

• RAM timings in higher-end builds
• Cheap PSU in budget builds.

We need better/stricter standards for those things, and I don't think many would disagree with me that 80+ certification is too low a bar, and XMP timings are quite often not stable, even on the Intel platforms they're certified for.

I build hundreds of machines a year and when I think a 500W 80+ bronze will do, I go 750W Gold. When I think DDR5-6000 will work, I buy DDR5-5200 and call it a day.

This is why prebuilts costs more and do less

Well it's been a on going issue, how ever since getting a higher wattage PSU seems like it's just one game that crashes, but not your normal CTD.

Game in question is Red Dead Online, not the typical 2 crashes what most get which are GFX err and the for on going #ffffffffffff error. This crash is green screen reboots under Vulcan and black screen reboots under DX12.

It's 99% chance it will happen with in 2 hours of playing the game, it's the only game that does it i have tried cinebench (both), furmark, OCCT even a combo of them with 0 problems.

W1zards mem test and the dos version too for 60 minutes, no issue.

removed overclocks used bios defaults slower ram settings too. all so tried each stick with the game different slots.

Games tried

All the AC2's (3 in all) AC4 ACO
FarCry 3, 4, 5
Death Stranding
Balders gate 3
Horizon Zero Dawn
Dying Light 1
Beyond two Souls


It don't matter what resolution RDO is or quality it will do it with in the 2 hours, tried the pipeline console command along with some .exe commands for it still happen.

Maybe some one has a idea as i am about to send the card in which i am not still 100% to blame, maybe some one has a AM5 system with the same card and the game could try if there is such a person.

Although i have yet to try it in the other system but it be a real pain, still hoping there is some thing else i could try.

In my case, Red Dead Redemption 2 would randomly (usually after 20-30 minutes) cause a Green Screen of Death, which would then result in a cold reboot of my entire system. It took me a couple weeks to figure it out, but I finally managed to resolve this issue by decreasing "Texture Quality" to "High" instead of "Ultra" (in-game). Now it runs buttery smooth with no crashes on my rig at 4K/60fps Max Settings* using Vulkan engine with FSR2.0 Quality mode enabled...

*"Texture Quality" @ "High" instead of "Ultra" (stability); "Water Physics Quality" @ 75% instead of 100% (performance); "Far Shadow Quality" @ "High" instead of "Ultra" (performance)


And if you play any of the new Resident Evils and have the same issue (Green Screen of Death/Restarts), try this:

-In Resident Evil 2 and 3, make sure to change "Volumetric Lighting Quality" to "Medium" instead of "High"; change "Shadow Quality" to "High" instead of "Max"; and Disable Ray Tracing

-In Resident Evil 7 and 8 (Village), Disable Graphics Option "Subsurface Scattering", as well as Ray Tracing


This seems to be a common issue in a lot of ported games: not being able to use max settings without crashes/defects. Hope this helps you, too...

Not had the issue for many months now, Green screen just means it was running vulcan and typically black if under DX12.
But one of the errors could be just the game it self although you would typically see others go though some of the issue's to then.

Only time i have had performance issue's was near camps (mp) and in Lagras near were you can get the 6 man bounty.

But yeah like with most if not all there is no need to use ultra settings anyways.

Did you happen to use cable extensions for power?

 

[thesmokingman]

Really started to think it's not the GPU

I concur. If it's fine in other games then that rules out the specific hardware. I would try different drivers and reinstall/repair directx/etc, maybe even reinstall/repair the runtime files.

No, don't trust them.

No, as i could get it to happen in AC Odyssey too.

How ever i believe it was some thing to do with ram \ bios, as what would solve it was to turn off rebar though the AMD software. But i have not being playing either( game for some time now as i been playing Cyberpunk but without issue with it turned on. And if i do play RDO it's typically way to short of time but got a few hours in here and there just burned out on it after 7000+ hours haha.

Worsed part of the issue it could take up to 8 hours to show in Red Dead, in Odyssey i could reproduce it within 30 mins. Just after reinstall (OS) and all i just have not got around to checking again.
