1080 ti incompatible with any driver newer than 472.12

Hello,
My Galax HOF 1080 ti behaves erratically when attempting to use any driver over 472.12. I use it as a secondary card, along with a 3080 LHR, but the problem persists even if I use the 1080 ti by itself. The 3080 works as expected using the latest driver version.
The "symptoms" when I use any driver above 472.12 are:
  1. The whole system becomes extremely sluggish, needing around one minute to open a window. Sometimes the cursor freezes too. Also, the more I keep using it, the worse.
  2. GPU-Z shows both cards as not having cuda, openCL or physX enabled.
Why would the card work as normal with older drivers and how while being a secondary card would it bring my whole system on its knees?
Any insights?
 
Fine here, run bunch of 1080Tis in this build.

After seeing your post and noticing I was running an older driver, 466.63. Done some testing before and updated to 512.77 and same tests after and performance is identical benchmark wise.
 
Is it related to you running a 3080 at the same time as the 1080ti? I remember a while back I tried to run a newer Nvidia card with an older (legacy driver support) one - couldn't do it. With a legacy driver the new card was undetected and with the new driver the old card didn't work. Wonder if your driver installer is picking the bits for the 3080 and they're not playing nicely with the 1080ti?

Can't test the theory myself (don't have anything newer than a 10xx here) and can't think of a solution you could try except running only one generation of Nvidia card at a time and installing the driver with only that card in.

Ended up solving my old problem by swapping my old Nvidia card with an old AMD as Nvidia and AMD drivers were happy running alongside each other where two from the same company couldn't be done!
 
Heard a few people complaining that running an older nVidia card along side an Ampere card is problematic but not something I've looked into. You may find it is an incompatibility between multiple applications running hardware accelerated 2D surfaces such as Firefox, Spotify, some overlays, etc. older versions of Samsung Magician and some older motherboard control software and the likes used to cause some issues like this as well but I don't believe the latest ones do.

If you have a CPU with integrated graphics make sure that is disabled as well to test.
