Hi!
My friend updated his Asus RTY 4070Ti Super graphics driver to the latest version. Then we heard about the whole driver situation and he tried out some games and none of them worked. The gpu had no problem before the update. He played Cyberpunk 2077, Stalker 2, and so on on 4K ultra, but now almost all of the games crash on launch and sometimes he gets the BSOD. We deleted the driver in safe mode with a DDU and then reinstalled an older version, but it is not working.
Then I reinstalled the windows 11, and installed an older driver first but that didn't work either. So I uninstalled that driver too with the DDU in safe mode, and then installed an even older driver. I did this like 3 more times, and now some of the games work. His current driver is 565.90.
I tried lowering the resolution from 4K to 2K, and then to 1080p. Stalker 2 started on 2K but crashed in the menu. Then it started again on 1080p and we got to the first cutschene and then it crashed again with a video memory leak error message. Cyberpunk 2077 crash on launch every time no matter the setting.
I tried this resolution thing with refresh rate changes too. From 144 to 120 to 60. Some games get to the menu and then crash, some got the bsod. We tried this whole thing with win10, but the results are the same, and I'm out of ideas. I tried some other thing too, like only install the graphics driver alone, without the physx and stuff. And then tried with and without nvidia experience, but no. And the main thing is that in the news articles that I read said the update only affected the rtx 50 series and not the 40 or 30 series, but I read other forums and people having problems on older series as well.
My question is:
How is it possible that a brand new PC (I built that pc in december 2024) is this unstable after a standard GPU driver update? I mean, we completely wiped the whole C drive when we reinstalled the windows and the games are still crashing, with an older driver. How? The fresh system never saw the latest driver, and the machine is still horrible. Did the driver update changed something in the gpu's ROM or something? I don't know, but it bothers the hell out of me. Do we wait for another update, and hope it will fix the problems, or send the video card back and get a new one?
Thanks for the help.
