Screen flickers black and freezes sometimes with FPS drop after.
When I'm playing the game at any random time the screen will go black for 2-3 seconds and return back to normal. This happens every 5-6 minutes once it starts. After a while of repeating that process there will be a time when it goes and stays black, but I do hear sounds in the background. I am forced to open Task Manager and close the game from there. When I log back in again, the game seems to run fine, but I am running at a lower FPS range. I capped the FPS @ 60 since my monitor is 60hz and it ranges from 60-45 depending how intense the action is,but when I log back in after it freezes, my FPS ranges at around 45-30 fps. A quick restart of the computer fixes that FPS drop, but then I repeat the same issues. I will post specs at the end of this post. I do overclock my GPU and I feel that has something to do with my issues. However I do not over clock anything out of the ordinary and it's the only game that is affected by this as the others games run fine (no crashes).
I use the EVGA Precision X software to OC my GPU and my settings are set to this:
- Power Target: 102% (linked with Temp)
- Temp Target 81*
- GPU Clock Offset: 100 HMz
- Mem Clock Offset: 160 MHz
Here is my computer specs:
- Intel i5-4670k @ 3.4GHz
- eVGA GTX 780 SC 3GB
- Asus Maximus VI Gene
- EVGA 650W ATX12V
- 1TB Seagate Barracuda (game storage) & 128GB Samsung 840 Evo SSD (for OS)
