Palit Gamerock Rtx 4090 - driver crash when launching Watch Dogs Legion

sewerino26 · 4 Nov 2022 at 00:36

Hi. I have 12900K stock

32 GB 2x16 GB DDR4 3600mhz

Palit Gamerock Pro OC rtx 4090

1300W Seasonic Platinum Prime

Aorus Elite DDR4 Z690

Windows 11 2H22. Updated new nvidia drivers.

I swapped from 3090 Ti Gigabyte Gaming to Rtx 4090 Palit Gamerock. Never had single crash in games,apps on 3090 ti. All was perfectly stable.
Today i plugged Rtx 4090 Palit Gamerock. It passed 3dmark tests. But after i downloaded Watch Dogs Legion it freezed on loading screen and crashed.

Event logs:

2 errors.

1.display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered

2.The description for Event ID 0 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

\Device\Video3
Error occurred on GPUID: 100

Happened once i testing now Watch Dogs Legion no crashing again since. But why it crashed? On 3090 Ti i dont had a single crash,nothing.
Rma card now or just keep it ?

I checked 3dmark speed way,port royal,quake 2 rtx no crashing.Drivers are newest. Also my memory is 100% stable because with 3090 ti was fine all the time.

Have you tried the latest hot fix driver 526.61 ?

NVIDIA Support

nvidia.custhelp.com

I would not RMA the card because one game has a problem just try the latest hot fix drivers above and report back.

It happened once, i tried to reproduce crash game working normally. I am now looping Port Royal to check stability, fine since no issues. So why it happened once in WD LEGION?

Who knows but that game was notorious for crashes and freezing on release, try other games also too.

4090 is new hardware though and it needs time for the drivers to mature, some games will need to be updated with patches also.

Ok so if all benchmarks and games not crashing keep card? Happened once in first launch in WD LEGION not again.

port royal - looped for 30 minutes no crash
time spy extreme - looped for 30 minutes no crash
quake 2 rtx - 40 minutes no crash

This time around yeah, they dropped the ball, but last few gens and especially with ampere they did an amazing job, actually they had one of the best cards in the market.

Is this the first PC GPU you have ever purchased? Games crash sometimes, if everything else works then there is no problem and that should be very obvious.

You mean Hyundai, the car brand that won "world car of the year 2022"? https://www.hyundaimotorgroup.com/story/CONT0000000000023698

'Thick as mince' doesn't even begin to cover some of the posts I see on this forum. :eek:

Even so I am sure you can use your common sense to realize that if it only happend once and all other apps are working then it was likely some anomalous event.

If it only happened once, then definitely one of those random issues, it is very common. I’d ignore it and enjoy gaming. I would only be concerned if it was reproducible.
