Enabled hdr in windows 11 setting, now I think the gpu is dying. (lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz)

So today I enabled the hdr setting in windows 11 and everything seemed fine.

Tried playing genshin and it crashed right away.

After disabling hdr I started getting weird artifacting so I restarted and everything worked fine.

I reloaded my gpu undervolting settings in radeon software (rx 6750xt ) and they worked fine.

Went ahead and upgraded the driver and rebooted. Now the undervolt settings crash on stress test and any game I'm trying to play.

Is the windows 11 hdr setting actually killing my gpu????

EDIT: Ended up changing the undervolt from -120 to -100mV and that seems ti have stopped the crashing. Can a driver really affect undervolting that much?

EDIT2: Actually it stopped crashing at -75 undervolt.

You said you updated the driver. Perhaps your undervolt settings are too aggressive for the update. Have you tried restoring to factory default and testing stability?
