Also, which VRAM sensor should I be paying attention to the most?

I think the 'Dedicated' one is equivalent to Afterburner's default VRAM readout in Hwinfo, which just tracks how much of the card's VRAM is being used total, including what Windows and any other programs are using. Afterburner also has one called 'Memory Usage \ Process' that tracks the VRAM of the overlaid process only, which can be helpful for knowing exactly how much memory a game is using without Windows or anything else skewing the result.

Afterburner with the HWInfo plugin (graphs running on 2nd screen rather than an OSD).
Thanks both.

Will have a play around.

I needed to install linux to my SSD in order to install the drivers for the 3060ti. As originally the only res. I could set was 1024x768
Which is odd because I was able to use a bootable USB with my RX580 and the resolution was fine.

I am sometimes getting a random black screen flash, i was getting it every so often up until a couple of weeks or so ago, but i had another one yesterday.

Anyone know what this is related to? Is it the driver or something else? I thought i already updated it before.
I've checked event viewer and i see a bunch of stuff under security, i noticed there's often the same thing under task category saying special logon around the time it happens, but don't know if it's related.

When does it happen? Does it do it when you're browsing/watching YouTube? Turning off hardware acceleration is a workaround but will need to be fixed at a driver level.
