In this video, I talk about my struggle with constant GPU crashes in games and Unreal Engine.
I never expected that fixing the GPU issue would also stop Redshift in Houdini from crashing!
For weeks, I couldn’t work properly because my GPU kept failing.
I watched tons of YouTube videos and read through every forum I could find, but nothing worked... until I discovered the real problem.
I show every step I tried, so you don’t have to waste your time.
From basic fixes to advanced settings, I cover it all.
But in the end, the solution was simple.
In this video, you’ll see all the steps to fix GPU crashes.
If your GPU crashes and nothing seems to work, this video might help.
