February 17, 20197 yr Just had, for the 2nd time an Nvidia issue with a previously perfectly running EVGA GTX970 GPU. Had not updated the driver for ages because, quite frankly, I do not trust Nvidia to bring out rock stable drivers. And that is precisely what has happened. Updated to the latest, and bang, midway through a flight, that driver brings the sim down with a warning notice DXGL_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG. Ha as anyone else experience this crash? Reverting to previous driver which was rock steady, not a single issue Rick Almeida
February 17, 20197 yr the latest nvidia driver did create " a resetting graphic driver" issue from time to time. I went back to earlier drivers and the issue disappeared. I would not recommend the latest drivers for Win7 users. tc

Like you, I have just binned that latest driver. I won't be going anywhere near Nvidia again. Rick Almeida
February 17, 20197 yr Is 418.91 the one causing issues? Edited February 17, 20197 yr by JustanotherPilot YBCG

Now with the previous 388.13 at exactly same place same route as before, plain sailing. I have read so many issues with Nvidia's rushed-out drivers previously, here, I wonder why I even bothered. Lesson learned. 10 minutes ago, RichieFly said: I have a GTX 1080 ti. Did state it was a GTX 970, so most probably is okay with a 1080Ti, don't know as I don't have that card as yet, physically, in my new proposed rig. Rick Almeida

February 18, 20197 yr Author Gentlemen, all well and good----and I am so happy for all you 1080Ti users----that all is very hunky-dory with the latest Nvidia driver for your 1080Tis, 1060s, et al. But I specifically mentioned a GTX 970. So, maybe it only appertains to the GeForce 9 Series? Anyway, it matters little now, as I do not trust Nvidia when they trundle out ' the latest driver bells-and-whistles word-not-allowed' drivers! Rick Almeida
February 18, 20197 yr Nvidia have stopped support for Maxwell 900 series cards thats why you had problems
February 18, 20197 yr Author 10 minutes ago, Kjono said: Nvidia have stopped support for Maxwell 900 series cards And below states the opposite looking at this image. Or have I mis-read it that support of the 9 Series is over, yet the below image contradicts that? 6 minutes ago, nolonger said: Did you tell Nvidia? Rick Almeida
