We couldn\u2019t let you know why this conduct causes points, however should you\u2019re having bother, swapping screens 1 and a couple of might doubtlessly assist.<\/p>\n<p>We really discovered this by chance. The day after we recorded our first recreation crash, we reconfigured the bench and commenced making an attempt to set off it once more, however couldn\u2019t. It wasn\u2019t till we realized that the one distinction was that the DP output slots on the GPU had been modified. After switching them again to the unique place, we have been instantly capable of observe the failure once more. To our shock, this identical circumstance appeared in a number of video games.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recreation_Crashes\"><\/span><strong>Recreation Crashes<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>As for similarities between the problems: In Star Wars Outlaws, Marvel Rivals, and Cyberpunk 2077 (all video games that natively assist DLSS 4), we have been unable to supply a failure when both G-Sync or body gen have been disabled. We additionally individually couldn\u2019t set off a crash after swapping output slots or on a single monitor setup.<\/p>\n<p>DLSS 4 and body gen are additionally issues right here. It\u2019s not simply the monitor order or the monitor ports.<\/p>\n<p>The error in Shadow of the Tomb Raider was completely different from the video games beforehand mentioned. This recreation was unaffected by G-Sync. It additionally doesn\u2019t characteristic a body gen setting (a minimum of the model we examined doesn\u2019t). Moreover, it skilled the identical failures on a single monitor and after swapping output slots. So not one of the different points we\u2019ve talked about so far have been the trigger for Shadow of the Tomb Raider.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large_responsive_no_watermark_\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gamersnexus.net\/u\/styles\/large_responsive_no_watermark_\/public\/inline-images\/vlcsnap-2025-04-11-16h25m47s159.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6623\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"b7715b44-90a0-4d38-b28c-a0c6aeacb1f2\" data-image-style=\"original\"><\/figure>\n<p>As an alternative, we have been capable of boil this drawback right down to having \u201cRTX Shadow High quality\u201d set to Extremely within the in-game settings.

This, together with numerous person studies, appears to recommend that driver 566.36 is at the moment probably the most secure driver that NVIDIA has launched lately. 566.36 is from December and predates the launch of the RTX 50 collection, so wouldn&#8217;t be appropriate with 50-series playing cards.<\/p>\n<p>There are quite a lot of different points reported on-line, however that\u2019s what we\u2019ve replicated up to now.<\/p>\n<p>Many customers noticed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/nvidia\/comments\/1jeddbc\/comment\/mjmosh6\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">issues<\/a> in video games that didn\u2019t happen till after a number of hours of gameplay. As a lot as we\u2019d wish to, we will\u2019t spend a number of hours enjoying a random recreation to see if it&#8217;ll presumably crash. It\u2019s simply too unpredictable. On the identical word, simply because we weren\u2019t capable of repeat our failure after we turned G-Sync or body gen off, doesn\u2019t imply that turning these choices off will resolve all issues, however hopefully it\u2019ll assist a few of you.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Different_Frequent_Points\"><\/span><strong>Different Frequent Points<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>There have been another points we generally noticed in our analysis:<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/hardware\/comments\/1jhkzxo\/psa_nvidia_widespread_black_screen_or_hard_os\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a number of studies<\/a> that there\u2019s a difficulty with waking from sleep or resuming from idle states and we have been capable of create a minimum of one among these by chance.
