Warframe Staff Reveals Intel’s 14th & 13th Gen CPUs Responsible For Instability Issues, i9-13900K Takes Up A Major Portion
What Intel CPU generations are causing game crashes?
Intel's 13th and 14th generation Core desktop CPUs, specifically the Core i9 models, are causing game crashes and instability issues5. The affected processors have been found to deteriorate over time and lead to failure rates close to 100%. Developers and users have reported issues with games like Warframe, Path of Titans, and Fortnite, among others.
How did Warframe developers determine CPU crash causes?
Warframe developers determined CPU crash causes by analyzing crash reports and noticing a pattern of crashes occurring when the graphics driver was working very hard on all CPU-cores. They realized this was a power-hungry state for the processor and found a recent report from Intel suggesting a BIOS update might help.
What percentage of crashes involved the Intel Core i9-13900K?
The Intel Core i9-13900K accounted for 29.5% of game crashes with the error code "nvgpucomp64.dll" as compiled by the developers of Warframe. This error is likely to occur when the processor is in a power-hungry state and being pushed hard.
