The valid argument is that price increase and the constant usage of these BS abilities decreasing OKW viable tactics EVEN MORE. If it wasnt properly f*cked up already. Losing half of a 200 FU panthers HP to two SU76 and mark target, almost instantly is f*cking frustrating. If you need an argument why, i cant help you.
Mark target should be reversed btw... mark your own vehicle and increase its damage. Instead of marking the target... and increasing everyones damage against it.
You should lose half of Panther HP vs. 2x Su-76 + mark target - after all, that's quite an investment just to drain a little bit of a fast repaired HP pool.
There was basically a price decrease overall. Tanks are still cheaper than before, and now you even got full ammo income, leaving you with WAY more options.
You know the enemy loves to chase down your armor with mark target? Place some mines, have some Volks with schrecks hidden via LOS, or maybe even a Raketen or two, and punish your enemies overextending vehicles. Su-76 die like flies if caught off guard anyways.
Sidenote: KT is one of the worst things to build to counter SU76. |

Read a lot about Win10 driver related issues myself. Anyone of you two care to test the card with an older OS version, and see if it "magically" solves itself? |
UPDATE:
Using the nVidia Inspector to limit the framerate made a slight difference. Here's what I did:
I set the framerate to 60. In the game, I dumbed down ALL the settings to their lowest possible value. I launched the performance test, and it ran about 2-3 seconds after the SU-76 eats it. I saw the T-34/85 on the screen for about 2 seconds, then Ka-BLOOEY. Then, I cranked all the settings in the game to their maximum settings, ran the performance test, and the SU-76 didn't even get to where he gets killed before my PC crashed. Still undesirable outcomes, but at least there is a difference to be seen.
I also tried moving the video card to a different slot on the motherboard. That made zero difference. I thought perhaps it may be running into contention with my M.2 SSD, which also runs on the PCI-E lanes.
Thought with a frame limiter you might get a way different result, sadly not :/
Do you know if the Strix properly ramps up her fan speed? I really got the feeling it doesn't.
_underscores's suggestion might be also worth a try. TDP at least changed with both cards. |
Okay, so I put the 980 back in and just for giggles ran the COH2 performance test, and sure enough, the instant that the SU-76 takes a rocket in the puss, my PC does too and crashes hard. I ran four different stress tests - OCCT 4.4.1, HeavyLoad 3.3.1.230, Intel Burn Test 2.54, and prime95. My den is much warmer now, thank you. :-)
The tests ran my CPU and my GPU up to 100% and held them there for several minutes each, and no issues were revealed by this testing.
Do you have a stress test program that you feel would be worth adding to the above list?
At least for now, my money is still on the GPU or some screwed up driver. Well, at least your CPU didn't die of boredom for a day 
Let's try the other route?

> set a frame limit of 60 (or even 30), set everything to lowest possible.
Make sure the frame limit actually works. (just in case... Steam has a fancy integrated FPS counter btw.)
Though now i can't get the mentioned Su-76 scene out of my mind, which sounds oddly specific.
Might wanna PM these guys in worst case:

...
my power button is a keyboard button. the thing is, it wakes up even when i leave it on the desk at night. i mean daduq.
Pure air pressure!
But seriously, sounds like wake up on lan / wifi. |
Thread: Help!18 Dec 2015, 18:36 PM
I mean, i was in school which has wifi all over it. if that is what you mean.
Wake up on LAN (/wifi) activated? Or you seriously got one hell of badly placed power button |
kamk - I'm sorry if I've somehow ruffled your feathers, that wasn't my intent. I attempted to be gracious in saying that I thought your suggestion had merit but didn't apply in my situation as I don't overclock. You clearly have a lot of knowledge in this area, and I don't want to alienate you.
I'll try your suggestions and let you know what I find out. I won't be able to do so for a few hours as I don't have the 980 installed right now. I put the 680 back in place until such time as I have enough ammunition to make it worth shooting at this problem.
No problem. I'm just a bit salty after reading these kind of threads way too often.
You have to start somewhere, but it still applies to your situation overall. We can just exclude your CPU most likely, that's it. (btw.: your GPU is factory OC'd btw., and has quite a history of causing problems)
Anyways, good luck with further steps, these kind of problems can be quite annoying. |
...
Yes, vsync is disabled....I dumbed down the settings in COH2 to their lowest possible value in every category, got the same result. ...
As expected. Those two settings don't really work together. You just get more FPS, but the same stress.
Anyways, the game isn't going "deep enough" to crash your PC, the stress or faulty driver is. COH2 is just rather demanding / badly optimized in general, and loves to cause the same results as a stress test.
For the last time: try the mentioned above. Or if you want to try the other way around: use a frame limiter with lowest settings. |
...Yours is an excellent suggestion, but doesn't apply to my situation.
I assume you also disabled vsync, and therefore you got no frame limiter in place. COH2 is one hell of a stress test on it's own sadly.
Nevertheless, your PC should never do a hard reset due a game in the first place. That smells like faulty drivers or hardware issues - i didn't suggest the mentioned above for no reason.

Do you have any OC on your CPU?
Tried to do a stability / stress test yet?
