Having Issues with your driver? Read here!

Before you start - Make sure you Submit Feedback for your Nvidia Driver Issue

There is only one real way for any of these problems to get solved, and that’s if the Driver Team at Nvidia knows what those problems are. So in order for them to know what’s going on it would be good for any users who are having problems with the drivers to Submit Feedback to Nvidia. A guide to the information that is needed to submit feedback can be found here.

Additionally, if you see someone having the same issue you are having in this thread, reply and mention you are having the same issue. The more people that are affected by a particular bug, the higher the priority that bug will receive from NVIDIA!!

Common Troubleshooting Steps

  • Be sure you are on the latest build of Windows 10 or 11

  • Please visit the following link for DDU guide which contains full detailed information on how to do Fresh Driver Install.

  • If your driver still crashes after DDU reinstall, try going to Go to Nvidia Control Panel -> Managed 3D Settings -> Power Management Mode: Prefer Maximum Performance

If it still crashes, we have a few other troubleshooting steps but this is fairly involved and you should not do it if you do not feel comfortable. Proceed below at your own risk:

  • A lot of driver crashing is caused by Windows TDR issue. There is a huge post on GeForce forum about this here. This post dated back to 2009 (Thanks Microsoft) and it can affect both Nvidia and AMD cards.

  • Unfortunately this issue can be caused by many different things so it’s difficult to pin down. However, editing the windows registry might solve the problem.

  • Additionally, there is also a tool made by Wagnard (maker of DDU) that can be used to change this TDR value. Download here. Note that I have not personally tested this tool.

If you are still having issue at this point, visit GeForce Forum for support or contact your manufacturer for RMA.

Common Questions

  • Is it safe to upgrade to <insert driver version here>? Fact of the matter is that the result will differ person by person due to different configurations. The only way to know is to try it yourself. My rule of thumb is to wait a few days. If there’s no confirmed widespread issue, I would try the new driver.

Bear in mind that people who have no issues tend to not post on Reddit or forums. Unless there is significant coverage about specific driver issue, chances are they are fine. Try it yourself and you can always DDU and reinstall old driver if needed.

  • My color is washed out after upgrading/installing driver. Help! Try going to the Nvidia Control Panel -> Change Resolution -> Scroll all the way down -> Output Dynamic Range = FULL.

  • My game is stuttering when processing physics calculation Try going to the Nvidia Control Panel and to the Surround and PhysX settings and ensure the PhysX processor is set to your GPU

  • What does the new Power Management option “Optimal Power” means? How does this differ from Adaptive? The new power management mode is related to what was said in the Geforce GTX 1080 keynote video. To further reduce power consumption while the computer is idle and nothing is changing on the screen, the driver will not make the GPU render a new frame; the driver will get the one (already rendered) frame from the framebuffer and output directly to monitor.

Remember, driver codes are extremely complex and there are billions of different possible configurations. The software will not be perfect and there will be issues for some people. For a more comprehensive list of open issues, please take a look at the Release Notes. Again, I encourage folks who installed the driver to post their experience here... good or bad.

To continue celebrating the upcoming launch of Black Myth: Wukong, this week we are exploring the origins of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King.

What we share here is just one of the versions, and there are many interpretations of it across literature and other media.

If you're interested in learning more about Journey to the West, check out our Week 1 post here:

In the 16th-century novel "Journey to the West," Sun Wukong was born from a magical stone atop the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit, where many monkeys resided. The stone absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, including elements of earth, water, fire, metal, and wood. Eventually, it burst open, and Sun Wukong emerged fully formed, endowed with supernatural powers.

Black Myth: Wukong | Summer Game Fest CG Trailer

Sun Wukong earned the title "The Monkey King" after bravely jumping through a waterfall and discovering a magical cave behind it. He invited all the monkeys to take shelter there, making it their new home. Impressed by his bravery and discovery, the monkeys proclaimed him their king.

NVIDIA Broadcast on various RTX card generations NVIDIA Broadcast on various RTX card generations
Question

Does anyone know if NVIDIA Broadcast works equally well on all RTX cards? If the machine was just going to be used for streaming (and not gaming) do the noise cancellation and other features benefit from the later generation cards? Would the tensor cores on a 2060 perform as well as the ones on a 4060 for broadcast purposes? Can’t seem to find definitive info on this — just that the platform supports all RTX cards.




General Graphics settings suggestions/Help! General Graphics settings suggestions/Help!
Question

To keep it brief, I'm super new and nooby coming into the whole PC space after almost a decade in console gaming. My newest PC is an RTX 4070 Super with an Intel i7 12th gen. Ive already played games like Cyber punk and RDR2 but wanted to see how wild I could get with these components. I have a 1440p monitor (144HZ) and I was wondering what are the ideal settings to look out for, preferably a little bit more fidelity than Performance since I mostly play single player games. Hitting 70+ would be great. Also what is the difference between DLAA and quality? Which one produces better quality? Cheers !


Rtx 4070 super power cable questions Rtx 4070 super power cable questions
Question

Im gonna upgrade to the rtx 4070 super and I know it uses the new 12vhpwr cable and comes with the extender for 2x 8pin pcie to plug into. Instead of that I want to get cable mod cables in white to clean up my build. My question is if I get a 12VHPWR cable with slots for 3x 8 pin pcie connectors can I only use two of those cuz the 4070 super only needs 2? Is it ok to leave one of the connectors empty? Thanks in advance




Should I use this gpu in one of my servers for video codecs for jellyfin Should I use this gpu in one of my servers for video codecs for jellyfin
Question

I tried selling an old painted gtx 1070 a couple years back and the guy returned it but the shipping company sucked and it came back without a retention clip and the heatsink a little malformed and the cover doesnt stay on anymore but, if I put it in my dl380 g6 would it be worth it to use on jellyfin for video encoding here is a a photo of the gpu: https://share.icloud.com/photos/0114xYL5Pu2dFsSxqr0yhSyEg

I am unsure if it is even safe to put in there if anything would get shorted out, I dont have high hopes about it so I really dont care if I cant put it in because its too much of a risk or it doesnt fit properly.

I’m not looking for tech support more for advice if this thing will short out my entire server or not.




Disregarding the price, does the 4060 Ti 8GB a decent 1080P card for me? Disregarding the price, does the 4060 Ti 8GB a decent 1080P card for me?
Question

Prefers:

-Power Efficient

-Acceptable/At least Playable Ray Tracing Performance(in games like Cyberpunk)

-Can handle the most demanding titles at decently high settings at 1080P.

There is a 16GB version. Does the extra cost of it worth the better lifespan or headroom for Ray Tracing+FG that uses a lot of VRAM? Or is sticking to an 8GB fine?

As much as I wanted to go to the RTX 4070 Super it's just too over the top for my resolution.



To anyone planning on changing thermal paste/pads To anyone planning on changing thermal paste/pads
Discussion

Decided to change the thermal paste and pads of my 3 year old rtx 3070 FE yesterday using Arctic MX-6 and TP-3 (1mm thickness), as my core temps reached 80 and hotspot 95 with light 3D gaming.

I did all my estimation by eye so I stacked 3 layers of thermal pads together, and applied the thermal paste using an x pattern. The thermals went up a heap, core temp 95 and hotspot 110.

Did a little research and the pads that were originally in the card were soft and squished down to the 2.25mm gap between the components and heatplate, while the Arctic TP-3 are quite dense and dont squish a lot. So all i did was remove one layer, leaving a 2mm layer of pads, and I applied thermal paste by manually spreading it, and now my thermals are much improved, 70 core and 80 hotspot.

I figure either the pads were too thick and insulating heat, or that due to the thickness the core wasnt fully seated against the heatsink.

For anyone planning on doing this, its definitely worth it as the pads and paste originally in the card are not very good, just either use squishy pads, or ensure the thickness of your denser pads are not more than 2.25mm!


Should I get the 4070 or the 4070 Super Should I get the 4070 or the 4070 Super
Question

I'm looking to upgrade my 6 year old PC with all new parts. I've been looking into the 4070 Super GPU with an AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3d CPU. However, I've been struggling to pull the trigger on the purchase because I'm not sure my usage would justify the price.

I enjoy gaming but I would consider myself a "casual gamer". On average, I tend to play for about 1-2 hours a day. Typically, I enjoy playing Tekken 8, MK1, Helldivers 2, Elden Ring, and COD. I'm looking forward to playing Black Myth: Wukong, and Sparking Zero later this year.

That being said, would it make sense for me to get a cheaper build than the one I listed above? Or should I get the 4070 and a cheaper CPU?

Current Specs:

GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Intel i5-7600k CPU G.Skill DDR4 16GB RAM

Question

Micro center has one for $389, open box refurbished is quite the gamble though, a bad GPU won’t brick my PC if I run DDU before installation?

I’ll be upgrading to a 5000 series refresh card, primarily building for Black Myth Wukong— if the game wasn’t coming out I wouldn’t be building but also I figure it’s time, why wait and just enjoy, I’ve been holding off since 2021

I have everything except the GPU, but thoughts on the motherboard?
