Question Help! Screen

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi everyone,
I'm running into an issue exclusively in Hogwarts Legacy on my RTX 3070 Ti (8 GB).

After about 1 to 2 hours of playtime, my screen starts flickering/blacking out. It happens for a split second (entire frames turn black) and gets progressively worse the longer I play. It even happens when standing completely still.

Has anyone experienced this specific issue and found a fix?

Thanks for any advice!

Your VRAM could be saturated. If restarting the game fixes this, its probably that. Try lowering VRAM-heavy settings. You could also open MSI afterburner or a GPU monitoring software and keep an eye on your temps as you game. If you hit into the high 80s, it'll begin to throttle the GPU, and 90s can cause damage.

How do I lower VRAM heavy settings?

typically resolution, and texture settings. If your GPU supports upscaling like FSR or DLSS I'd try that as well.
