For example V rising used to crash my computer after 10-20min every time without exception until I lowered the graphic quality and disabled unlimited FPS (I set it to 60). Now it works without crashing.
I have a Gigabyte Geforce RTX 4090 that should be able to bear the load of the best graphics settings.
I tried doing the same in Valheim, but it keeps crashing particularly inside my megalomanic castle and the surrounding village (which could be part of the problem). But it also likes to crash while doing mundane stuff like walking through a forrest.
I see many other people having the same issues - they have a high end GPU and some games just keep crashing their computers. And as a counter point, my friend has a low end computer and he never had any crashes with V rising or with Valheim.
So my question is what is causing the issues here? Both games are made in Unity. Is the problem in Unity, developers, the GPU or the combination of all?

Sounds like a hardware issue. My first guess would be the power supply. People often overlook it or cheap out when they build their PC
It could also be a RAM issue. If your memory is running too fast, it may cause sudden crashes. Check if XMP is enabled (which it should be) and if it is, turn it off. That should run your memory at a slower speed. if the problem persists, then your memory is probably not the issue. If it goes away, your memory may have been poorly binned by the manufacturer and can’t reliably run at full speed.
Sure you can do that as a test, it would not be great to just… accept it. If the problem goes away doing this look into better RAM.
Also, look into stress tests, there’s some for the GPU and for the RAM, this way you can pinpoint where and why the crashes happens.
Given that, please be aware that running such a GPU and needing these kinds of advice is akin to running a Ferrari not knowing it needs gas to run.
