**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

Sell the 5090, install the 4090, live happily ever after.

Agreed. Just think there are a few things amiss with 5000 series hardware.

Wow, what has happened to team green's software quality control? Used to be that nvidia drivers were reliable and AMD drivers were problematic, this seems in reverse at the moment. I bought a 5090 to drive my 2x 4k 240Hz oleds and here are the issues I have:

- nvidia drivers simply cannot drive both screens at 240hz without kernel level exceptions, often crashing most games, and sometimes windows (DSC disabled, both screens connected at 80Gpbs over DP 2.1)
- nvidia container app service, when left running it randomly causes massive amounts of desktop display performance degredation, mouse stutter, ocassional windows blue screen
- bugs with handling Windows scaling, testing a different scaling value can randomly crash the card and windows.

Awful experience going back to Nvidia, realy just awful. The worst part is, everything is perfect with a single screen

At least it works fine with one screen. You can rule out hardware issues. Maybe open up a thread on the Nvidia forums and see if anyone has any ideas.

Well, spoke too soon... after a day or two of no issues problems are returning, I just found this thread: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforc...hread-for-black-screenfreezing-for-5000-seri/


So many posts there show the same symptoms as I'm having, but here's the rub - most of the problems posted _could_ be because of bad hardware, or hardware _related_ issues; but some of them equally could be down to driver issues. This is going to be long and painful to figure out and I don't know at what point I'm just going to think about returning the card because as things stand it doesn't seem fit for purpose whether that's software OR hardware.

Try these

590.26 SM 6.9 Preview Driver >> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1w7_XyHdTjar17dgn4deEzcbFBfLJaOdA/view?usp=sharing

I've been using them for awhile and no issues here

Try Studio drivers. I hear they are rock solid!
