Hey everyone! This might sound a bit dumb, but I wanted to share something I discovered after battling the infamous ERR_GFX_STATE crash in games like RDR2 and GTA V Enhanced.
At first, I thought (like many people suggested online) that it had to be either unstable GPU overclocking or driver-related issues. So I spent days testing my GPU with different MSI Afterburner profiles, tweaking clocks, voltages, and even running stability tests in other games. But no matter what I tried, the crashes kept happening.
Turns out the real culprit wasn’t the GPU at all—it was my RAM XMP profile. I relaxed the timings just a bit and added a small bump to the voltage, and since then the crashes have completely stopped.
I’m not sure if this will help anyone else, but I figured it might be worth sharing in case someone else is pulling their hair out over the same issue. Sometimes it’s not your GPU OC—it’s your memory.
