GTX690 dota 2 issues

[Ticonderoga]

Hi guys

I just upgraded from a HD7970 to a gtx690.
Before removing the HD7970 I uninstallede all AMD drivers, CCC etc and then removed the card.
I then installede the gtx690 and downloaded the newest drivers from nvidia's website. Everything works fine, except dota 2.
After I play 1 game of dota 2 the dota main menu starts to lag really bad (in game dota 2 there are is no lag) and I can only solve the problem by closing dota and starting it up again, but then the problem appears again after the next game is over.
Funny thing is the problems seem to cross over to internet explorer / steam. So for instance if I play 1 game of dota and then exit I will get crashes when starting up internet explorer or other games via steam, but only after playing dota.
Only change to the whole system is the gtx690. I tried rolling back to driver 310.90, but no change. Can the Nvidia drivers be causing all these problems? And why is it only affecting dota 2?

Cheers from Denmark

It is a bit heavy handed but have you tried reinstalling windows.

No not yet. I was really hoping to avoid that since I have switched between AMD and Nvidia card in the past without problems.

After a lot of googling (is that even a word?) I found out that Dota's source engine has multi gpu issues (it seems). So I will try running the game in single gpu mode when I get back home.

Just to be sure all the Ati stuff is gone, do the following:

Install Driver Fusion (google it)
Uninstall the nVidia drivers
Reboot
Run Driver Fusion and clear out all the nVidia and Ati stuff that the uninstallers leave behind
Reboot
Install your nVidia drivers again
