Question Memory Leak due to video drivers?

[PhantomXS]

Hello All!

I am experiencing high levels of memory leak on my system.
My (basic) analysis shows the culprit to be Nvidia drivers. So I have tried the following:

1. Re-installing the drivers
2. Installing old version of the drivers (way before the issue started)

To delete the drivers, I did so by selecting "Uninstall device" and checked "Attempt to remove the driver for this device" from Device Manager and then executing the above steps.
However, neither options have helped.
My device Asus G15 GA503QM with AMD chip and Nvidia RTX 3060.

ROG Zephyrus G15 puts premium gaming in an ultraslim 1.9kg chassis. Performance is fast and smooth with AMD Ryzen™ 9 5900HS CPU and GeForce RTX™ 3080 GPU. Up to a WQHD 165Hz/3ms gaming panel balances speed with rich detail. Dolby Atmos audio from six speakers immerses you in surround sound.

Please review attached screenshots, hopefully with that someone can help with the resolution? I wish to leave reinstallation of Windows altogether as a last resort.

So I would appreciate any help to resolve this issue.

did you run latencymon?

I often find Nvidia is at top of the results but that doesn't mean its the cause, rather its always top. The cause could be something else.
It sure does show a lot of Vi processes sitting on memory. You look at the difference, as that is what its not released yet

Have you updated other drivers? Run Armoury Crate and checked the drivers in it?

did you do both Amd & Nvidia display drivers as you would use both, AMD on desktop and Nvidia in games.
