#Trying to figure out if my 5070ti is faulty or if it’s a driver issue

Hey so I have a 5070 ti running with an i7-14700k. I can’t help but feel like something is wrong I just don’t know what. When I’m playing certain games things are off putting. So Fortnite just feels super stuttery but I heard that’s normal, halo feels strange and when I scope I get these weird black lines. Dying light 2 crashes if I’m on direct x12. Other games work perfectly but I have had games crash as well. Jedi survivor crashed saying I ran out of v ram, then just yesterday I was playing abiotic factor when that had a fatal error which I checked the logs and it showed what’s in the picture I’ve attached. Basically I’m trying to figure out if this is just a driver issue and it’s the compatibility between that and dx12? Or if something is wrong with my gpu and I need to contact gigabyte to send it back and get a new one, or even if it may be the processor? I just don’t think it’s that because other games work perfectly fine. Hope someone who has had the same experience can offer some insight

Some Intel 13th/14th gen desktop CPUs (unlocked CPUs, as well as locked i7/i9), may have stability issues due to excessive voltages, on out of date BIOS/microcode. This may show up as errors, crashes, and BSODs. In some occasions, this error may blame a different part (e.g. out of video memory) despite it being caused by a defective CPU.

Common things that may fail with a defective CPU include the following, and more:

  • Crashes during shader compilation
  • Crashes during decompression (game loading)
  • Crashes during driver installation/updates

Please go to these Intel Community threads for further information: https://community.intel.com/t5/Blogs/Tech-Innovation/Client/Intel-Core-13th-and-14th-Gen-Desktop-Instability-Root-Cause/post/1633446#M40
https://community.intel.com/t5/Processors/Intel-Core-13th-and-14th-Gen-Vmin-Shift-Instabilty-Update-New/m-p/1686948

To prevent damage to your CPU and possibly restore stability, please perform a BIOS/firmware update for your motherboard (or system, if this is a name-brand pre-build system).

  • At a minimum, to a version containing the 0x12B microcode or newer.
  • Ideally, and if offered, have the supplementary 0x12F microcode or newer.

You can check the support pages for your motherboard/system model for any BIOS updates you may need. Below are a few common motherboard manufacturers:
ASRock
Asus
Gigabyte
MSI

If your CPU is currently exhibiting instability even after performing BIOS/firmware and microcode updates, please contact Intel or your system builder for a warranty exchange (RMA), as your CPU may be permanently damaged.

Please RMA your CPU and update the BIOS of your motherboard to the latest version

Major oof indeed

#

(Yeah, we're not kidding. CPU failures can show up as "unrelated" failures, but that's because the CPU itself isn't thinking right)

Eventually the CPU will degrade to the point it can't boot to Windows, but not before corrupting your files and Windows OS and you can't play any games that's CPU intensive or uses plenty of threads

#

The CPU replacement is completely free and the BIOS update is free too

#

If you have bought it from a store, you can easily get a replacement as this is a known issue by Intel

#

Also remember to update the BIOS so that this issue will not happen again with your new replacement CPU

Yeah you’re right might as well try. Thanks bro. I already did the bios update a while back for other reasons. I bought from Best Buy, but I’m past the return window so I’ll have to go through intel themselves I think

you can approach them first

#

Ouh really? I’ll try that today then

Cool thanks man. So just out of curiosity even though it’s faulty I can still play other games just fine because they aren’t cpu intensive you said?

Okay Best Buy said they’d do the replacement so I’ll get that either today or tomorrow thankfully
