Losing monitor signal when playing AC unity on Ultra

[boromaill]

It happens randomly but usually within 5 minutes after I start to play. Then I have to restart my pc. However when I lower my setting to very high, the problem solves. I use W7, r5 3570k, 8gb ram, rx480 8 gb Nitro+.

Man, that is one weird sounding problem, as always though, did ya check if it happens in any other game?

 

[Toothless]

Check your temps and clocks?

Dust bunnies in your PC?
If so, clean it out!

Do you have G-SYNC? If it goes bellow 30Hz the monitor might just shut down...

People these days won't even bother reading first post...

AC Unity game and AMD RX480 graphics card, so no G-Sync for sure.

This was a beast of a game that even worse, is poorly optimized. I can't play it at ultra with my setup, so that might be half the problem.

Whats your brand, make, and model of power supply?

No my fps is above 30 even on ultra so thats not a problem. similar to Creed Syndicate but I dont have a crashing problem there nor with any other game.

You should use the "Multi-Quote" button instead of double posting.

Have you checked system event logs to see if its a driver reset, OS or other issue that is occuring at the same time you're losing your screen signal?

What are your temps at when running that game in Ultra?

Are you running two monitors?

 

[natr0n]

update video drivers

 

[Vario]

Might be graphics card instability. Have you tried the graphics card in other games? Do you have another graphics card you can test?

Well there is part of the problem, insufficient memory for ultra settings, OP only has 8gb.

... I use W7, r5 3570k, 8gb ram, rx480 8 gb Nitro+.

Relax. I was thinking about Free-Sync. Similar shit from AMD....

One mOar of forum pearls "OP only has 8GB of RAM", "Recommended: 8GB RAM". Yep, pretty sure that's the cause if his issue.

I ran Unity fine on 1080p with 8GB RAM, on med - high settings, with my 280X so take the RAM out of the equation.

It sound like driver crashing on you.

Edit: Note that there is 1 or 2GB virtual ram on that machine by default.

never said its the sole cause.

 

[FYFI13]

never said its the sole cause.

RAM amount has literally nothing to do in this case. He has 8 gigabytes, which is recommended amount of RAM by game developers. In fact, game only uses around 2.2GB of RAM.

The issue here is graphics card related, just unclear whether it's happening because of power supply, drivers, or the card itself.
