Fixing VRAM crashes in Valorant on Manli RTX 5070 OC?
Seriously, it was a disaster—every time I used an ability in a clutch round, the game would just crash. The GDDR7 memory on the Manli Snow Fox RTX 5070 OC, in its factory overclocked state, was hitting unstable voltage swings around 28 Gbps, causing address check failures. I wasted half an hour reinstalling drivers, which did absolutely nothing, and I was honestly fuming. I eventually used MSI Afterburner to downclock the memory by 200 MHz and nudged the core voltage to 1.05V. In 3DMark stress tests, the crashes went from 3 per hour to zero. I did lose about 3 FPS after the downclock, but I got it back by enabling Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling in Windows. VRAM temps are now 62℃ - 68℃ and the core is at 55℃ - 60℃. I've saved this profile as a backup, but it's annoying that a factory OC card needs a downclock to be stable.
