**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

Same, I’ve been on 551.76 for ages several iterations after that point would turn random monitors to standby for a couple of seconds when gaming. Don’t really want to update them either as I have little confidence that the issues won’t start up again.

IIRC it was version 566.36 that are perfect with my 4080.
I can't remember what game it was that finally compelled me to go for a newer driver, but since I did I'm now on the latest.

I have now got used to a black screen on occasion, for a couple of seconds.
I figured that it would be easier for me to find acceptance than it would for Nvidia to fix it.

Well I installed 576.88 and it's been ok during an afternoon of BF6 Beta so hopefully....

Great result for you.

When I do get a block screen or is never during a game, but when I'm on the desktop, typically browsing or watching YT. It only happens now and again, who knows it could be a feature that Nvidia has introduced.?!
Lol.

Ah so it's not just me and I did not imagine it! Drivers me crazy this rubbish, I've never had such stupid issues on AMD (but I had other stupid issues :p). :/

I won't go back to old driver but I also won't just accept it now that I know it's not just my set-up. :p Time to change monitor, cable and other bits to see if it's something hardware related! :p (ergo, good excuse to look for monitor upgrade to 3rd gen 4k OLED!)

Same on 4090 and frankly, it's been on older GPUs a thing too for me, on Nvidia, just not as often. YouTube was always a bane of their GPUs for me - at least it stopped crashing with 4090 but now black screens... Never had issues with YouTube on AMD cards but having multiple tabs with it open (most just waiting, not playing) causes this more often than not. Never in games.

It's a fix for the old crashes on YouTube - now it just goes black for a moment. :p
