Far Cry 6 crashing to desktop or complete system halt.

System Specs:
CPU: Intel i7-9700KF
RAM: 2x Corsair 8GB 3600 Dominator
Mobo: Gigabyte Z390 Auros Master
GFX: Gigabyte Auros Geforce RTX 3080 Xtreme 10GB
Storage: Samsung 970 EVO 2TB m.2

This issue isn't occurring during a specific event in the game, the time for the fault to be replicated isn't consistent either however eventually after 5 minutes of game play or 1 hour of game play the game will either crash to desktop (CTD) or cause the entire PC to halt requiring a restart to continue operating.

Confirmed no other games replicate the fault - Titles tested: Hell Let Loose, Far Cry 5, Satisfactory, Back 4 Blood, Diablo 2 Resurrected.
All games including Far Cry 6 are ran in windowed mode 1920x1080 due to streaming on twitch https://www.twitch.tv/vitamin_carrot with all GFX settings set to Ultra or equivalent.

I have the following available on request from Ubisoft support: DxDiag.txt, msinfo32.txt, NVIDIA System Information 10-22-2021 17-40-57.txt, System Event.txt, Application Event.txt

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:
Uninstall Reinstall Far Cry 6 - Issue replicated
Deleted Ubisoft Connect cache under C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher - Issue replicated
Disabled in-game overlay under Ubisoft Connect settings - Issue replicated
Set Ubisoft Connect to run as Administrator, set Far Cry 6 to run as Administrator - Issue replicated
Set in-game gfx settings to HIGH and limited FPS to 60 - Issue replicated
Removed/Uninstalled nVidia drivers via DDU and reinstalled latest game ready drivers 496.13 - issue replicated
Uninstalled Gigabyte App Center, Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2.0, Corsair iQUE (known issue of these not playing nice together) - Issue replicated
Disabled LCD Panel on GFX card - Issue replicated
Disabled all applications running in background at startup - Issue replicated
Screamed at it until my throat was bloody - Issue replicated
Made myself a tea and some crumpets - Issue replicated
Got my second vaccination against Covid 19 - Issue replicated and still not a member of the lizard illuminati

It would be nice to see some semblance of support for everyone that is having issues with this title, it is actually pretty good...

Setting up a support ticket is a really good idea tbh... oh wait... I cant

@purebeaux Are you familiar with MSI Afterburner at all?

I have implemented a workaround for my crashing by underclocking my Gigabyte Aorus 3080 slightly.
If you are comfortable doing so give that a go and let me know if it works.

@ubi-mark Hi, I have also sent an email to AccountSupport@ubi.com: (mailto:AccountSupport@ubi.com) with all the required files and a screenshot of what I am seeing when i try to raise a support ticket... I will hit up the facebook support team.
