Just gonna say that neither yours nor L_z_D9120's solution worked for me. I do have a 9060 XT 16Gb as well
Unfortunate. I'm currently on a 3 days streak without crash, but I have it like this. Give it a shot?
Like Ziom91 mentioned TdrLevel 3 is already a default so you can leave it without it. Idk why Grok suggested entering 20 and not 3c. At this situation probably everything is worth a try.
Ziom91 Did you had any crashes after the registry change?

I tried this setting today and had no crashes after 4 hrs , I’m not counting my chickens but will see how it goes for the next few days 🤞

4 days for me without a crash.... I'm starting to believe 🤘

L_z_D9120 That is great news. Glad you have not run into any crashes.

So far everything is fine, no crashes yet.

Do you get pauses or stutters in the game play now?
- FRYKIKZ1 month agoNew Rookie
Short answer:
Yes, occasionally there can be brief pauses or micro-stutters.Since increasing TdrDelay/TdrDdiDelay prevents Windows from resetting the GPU driver immediately, a short freeze can occur when the GPU briefly stalls and then recovers. This is essentially the same issue that previously caused a crash, just handled more gracefully.
It’s usually preferable to a DXGI crash, but it doesn’t fix the root cause!

Good thing to mentioned is that:
You can fully revert the changes at any time by deleting both DWORD keys and restarting the system. The safest values are 10–15 seconds for both TdrDelay and TdrDdiDelay, but start lower and see if you still getting error messages.
This reduces crashes but doesn’t fix the underlying issue- sometimes you can notice short freezes or micro-stutters with this option...
Overall, this is probably one of the better workarounds for this rather strange situation...

So what are the actual values to be entered? I don't see anything that specifies "seconds". I see comments listing "3c" (why the c?)and others with just a number like 20. This seems promising but only if done right. I've tried it with no luck, but suspect I might not be entering exactly what is needed.
Thanks/

TdrDelay defines how many seconds Windows waits for a response from the GPU before it considers the graphics driver “hung” and resets it. The value you set is expressed in seconds
This is, of course, only a workaround—not a guaranteed fix—and the results may vary from system to system. Think of it like treating a severe headache when you don’t know the underlying cause, but it leads to blackouts. Sometimes simple medication helps and you feel much better, but the outcome can differ from person to person.
If this doesn’t work for you, please share detailed feedback here so the CMs are aware that the results aren’t consistent.

I set mine at 20 seconds and it has definitely made a difference maybe one crash during a four hour session but not always , I’ve also been resetting the cache in the adrenaline software before starting a game session, hope this helps people

Do you notice any game freezing or stuttering when you play now?
