**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

Interestingly I've added another 0.25 mV to my undervolt as I've had a couple of unexpected crashes recently but talking only a couple in the last 2 weeks so it could just be coincedence
 
I unfortunately got the black screen during this driver install and had to do a forced shutdown with the power button. The last couple of drivers have actually been fine, so a bit bemused as to why the latest Nvidia driver returns this problem.

Edit: Weirdly, did the r-install of driver via Geforce Experience and the same black screen problem occurred again (btw this is with a 4080).

With a 40 series card I wouldn't be using any drivers since the release of the 50 series unless there was a new game release I was playing which had a specific fix

I have a 4080 and avoided the newer releases. Having just needed to format and reinstall, new motherboard etc, I can't remember which was the preferred choice to use..? Any ideas please.
The odd black screen is not fun.

Thanks

EDIT: I am guessing 566.36

Think this issue is very random, I had it happen 2 out of 3 times from the last 3 driver releases. Still not attempted the latest, think I’m going to hold. (4070ti super).

Installed the latest drivers, Cyberpunk now having huge frametime spikes every 60 or so seconds. Borderline unplayable.

Still have to disable G Sync on desktop, or I get white screen flickering. What a joke.

Every time I read something positive about these drivers, along comes a post like this :cry:

I just got a black screen too a few minutes ago after attempting to install the newest(572.83) drivers with the Nvidia app, after hardbooting windows the app seems to be stuck in a loop trying & failing to download an older version of the drivers(572.70) now and it gives me a "Page Not Available" error when I try to click into the left side panel tabs like graphics and system which is very strange. Looks like I'll have to download and install them manually now after clearing out previous Nvidia stuff with DDU...

Custom DLSS rendering resolution seems to be a real improvement for 1080p gaming as previously s ake was too large so real minimum for using DLSS seemed to be 1440 then downscale can now do 1080p at say an internal rendering resolution of 90% (much higher than before) and looks really good

If you get a black screen after installing drivers, try turning your monitor off and on again, before going the power button shutdown route. It's worked for me both times that's happened.
 
So far only problem like that I've had is with 4K HDR, and only when the nV app overlay is enabled, and latest drivers seem to fix it.
 
No issues whatsoever with the latest drivers on my 4090 in Windows 11 with HDR and the nvidia overlay enabled. Everything is running perfectly, I've had no crashes, no black screens or anything else that I've noticed so far.

No issues with the last few drivers either and my pc runs 24/7. I've put 117hrs into GTA 5 Enhanced since that came out just over two weeks ago with RTX HDR on and it's been perfect, even with videos running at the same time on a second 4K monitor with lots of alt tabbing back and forth.
