**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

Sadly I cannot go back that far. TT Isle of Man Ride on the Edge 2 is known to crash on first launch on quite old drivers. NVIDIA fixed it on the 49x.xx series.

Should be ok on those as well, dwm.exe polling spam seems to be just the 5x drivers, unless you can do a quick test? :D
 
Am also getting the spam, but are we just assuming it's an nvidia issue? Could it be tied up to a Windows update also? I can't say I have notice any loss of performance, Running on W11 and have been actively recording with OBS haven't noticed any drop in performance, touch wood. Would be good if Manual G can comment.

It's only happening with the latest 5X Nvidia drivers so... Yeh

I am running the cleaned version of 496.78 and I have this dwm.EXE spamming as well. Are we sure that it's anything to do with Nvidia seeing as Desktop Window Manager is part of windows? Couldn't the latest windows updates have caused this?
 
Moved to the 472.84 studio drivers, I think from now on will only be using studio drivers as they get more quality assurance.

There is 5xx version of studio drivers as well for those who want newer stuff.

Studio drivers suffer from this issue as well, its what I used for stability reasons and I believe they were 511 drivers from early jan
 
I am getting completely random blank screens, I have ordered some chokes to apply to my DP cables and other cables around the monitor / PC to bring down EMI interference.
Will go from there.

I noticed that if I enable DLDSR or DSR it worsens this by a lot.

I am pushing 2560x1440 at 170hz, this is far more throughput than 4K alone so... but the DP cable is what came with my monitor.

It seems to be the monitor just losing signal, that or something else and there is no known fix.

I swear I am sick of newer GPU's TBH as they all seem to have some version of this problem, the 5700-XT was by far the worst for it though.

Also why can't we find HDMI / DP cables with chokes fitted easily? (Amazon)
I would advise people to never buy cables without them.

I have pinned it down to EMI as the PC never crashes nor does the GPU even with overclocks.

The 5700-XT was a whole other ball game which would crash the entire PC and never recover.

I have purchased this VESA certified DP cable and have some noise suppressors on their way too.

I will update the thread with how it went.

I was getting random black screens as well, sometimes consecutive ones and sometimes the monitor wouldnt come on unless I fiddled with dp wire with the one that come with the monitor but after using one I purchased elsewhere this issue seems to have gone.

Windows 10 kept saying new gsync monitor detected as well when this happened despite being the same monitor lol.

( DWM.EXE POLLING SPAM NOT FIXED! )
 
Does seem consistent but I'm seeing a black screen and then freezing in COD: Warzone; when I check event viewer I get "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered" - I'm on the latest drivers; I already did a DDU and re-installed.
Is there anything else I can try?
