SalamatiQus:

This one still crashes whole system on Vulkan with HAGS on. Guess I really gotta wait for stable 465 branch.

endbase:

Complete lock up

kman:

442.59 is also one of the last drivers where the Nvidia fps limiter is working properly with some games like Apex and I don't know if there's more games that are effected by such a wierd issue. (frametime wise) Heard one of the 451.XX is also ok but I only tested up to 442.59 and jumped straight to 456+

ManuelG:

Do you share your PC with other people in your household?

endbase:

Nope I'm the only one using it

windrunnerxj:

Yeah, I checked Apex and it's also quite erratic on my end while RTSS is stable. Tested with HAGS enabled. If Reflex is supposedly the cause then not surprising that 442 works fine, Reflex isn't supported on these drivers. Sharpening also had different issues in drivers past 442. But Nvidia's limiter is also quite scuffed in the first place; not allowing decimal values, requiring game restart for changes to apply etc.

Is there anyway you could cut off windows 7/8/8.1 totally to force people to upgrade so we can have a bit more of a streamlined driver? (partially trying to provoke windows 7/8 hermits and genuinely partially wondering if this would make Nvidias life easier and our framerates higher)

pharma:

Are you really that ignorant? With 100 million pc's using Windows 7, Nvidia will support Windows 7/8/8.1 until Microsoft ends extended support in 2023.

ManuelG:

How long do you have to play for the game to freeze?

Could you share some info to help us investigate the Rocket League stutter? https://steamcommunity.com/app/252950/discussions/3/2962769352283340171/?ctp=2#c3105766250708668033

Ancymon:

Probably the latest vulkan dev beta driver 457.96 for win 7 is affected by the same problem.

SyntaX:

Disabling Shader Cache fixes it !

kx11:

I'm having a lot of crashes in OUTRIDERS demo, HDR is on and Spotify is playing in the background, i get UE4-Madness error

r_beans:

I have been getting some crashes when running Unity games on my RTX 3080, both EFT and Valheim can lock up my PC once in a while. The issue started in January.

endbase:

After install of a new driver I get a freeze within 10 min of playing fortnite

endbase:

Unstable graphics card or memory, the internet would be flooded with fortnite freeze complaints otherwise Where did you get that from ? no unstable graphics card or memory here all games work except fortnite after installing a new driver fyi

Astyanax:

work around, not fix. what its actually working around is unknown. I can start the game (via steam) from a cleared shader cache folder and not see any long ass load times or stutters, have you moved the shader cache to a slow spinner or is it in the default location? do you have both steam and epic versions installed and move between them? do you have a dramless ssd at all?

Astyanax:

One day i won't have to keep explaining that X games working doesn't mean Y game crashing isn't a hardware problem, Different usage of the hardware Different shaders used. Unstable RTX cards are historically more likely to freeze (or reset) under variable loads than under maximum.
