I did get an electrician out, they didnā€™t find anything wrong weirdly. Itā€™s nearly a year and a half ago and the house hasnā€™t burnt down yet.

Here is the cleaned-up driver from Guru3D with the bloat removed along with G-Force Experience. If you like to use GFE, donā€™t download this driverā€¦

Two Quick questions:
Is there still access to the Config-panel when I install this clean version?
The same question but now using NVCleanstall v1.13.0?

Thanks Charles

Well, did an uninstall using DDU. Navigated to the GTX version of 512.59 clean version and downloaded the file.

After a quick backup of my NVidia settings I installed the 512.59 driver.
Then I configured my FS settings in the NVidia control panel.

First time I started FS it crashed, but since I never had any crashes before I assumed it was because of this new ā€œstrangeā€ Gpu driver. And this seemed to be the case.

After a reboot of FS it started up normally. This driver will be at (on?) my side for a long time. On my system (always be careful right) itā€™s smooth as butter. Iā€™ll refrain from further details because Iā€™m no expert.

How do you back up NVidia settings?

I simply create screen shots from my settings.

Using 512.59 and have seen no issues so far. Took the chance and installed it right after SU9 too. Everything is working very well.

I will make this shortā€¦I down loaded the drivers today 4/29/2022 and I noticed a tremendous difference in the overall performance with VR using my 3080ti.

Hi Artison71, welcome to the forumšŸ˜€

I hope the difference in the performance is on the positive side! :grinning:

Thought I would share my experience with the latest drivers. Everything was going well until I started experiencing random CTDs and my event viewer showed ā€œnvlddmkm stopped responding and has recoveredā€. So I rolled back to the 497.29 driver. Has anyone else experienced this or have a fix? I have a 2 month old new desktop with a 3070 GTX.

Correction, RTX 3070*
