Just a side note: this issue never happens when I use my display adapter (GT 1030) or windows 10 only happens when I install the 2080

heavy pike <@629698148587274291> Are you on 522.25 drivers?

Hmm any idea how do I check it?

#

Oh wait GeForce experience?

heavy pike Oct 24, 2022, 6:36 AM

#

It should be in GeForce experience

#

Otherwise, Device manager > Display adapters > right click GPU then click properties > drivers. Then there should be a driver version but I’m not 100% sure it’ll show it in the correct format.

#

Or in GeForce experience click check for updates and if there are none your on 522.25

charred crystal Oct 24, 2022, 6:39 AM

#

bingo

#

heavy pike Oct 24, 2022, 6:42 AM

#

Yep that’s the culprit, go to the download site for nvidias drivers and choose the previous driver version and install it, it’ll go through GeForce experience for the download and that should fix the issue.

charred crystal Oct 24, 2022, 6:42 AM

#

Hm this issue is well known for specifically version 522.25?

heavy pike Oct 24, 2022, 6:43 AM

#

Yes, scroll through tech support and you’ll see heaps of people with the same issue. I have the issue, my friends have the issue. Spoken to nvidia and they said they’re aware that it’s a driver issue.

charred crystal Oct 24, 2022, 6:43 AM

#

I see I believe an update will be publish shortly?

heavy pike Oct 24, 2022, 6:43 AM

#

I have the issue on my 4090 so I don’t have the option to downgrade. I’ve got an unusable 4090. It’s been well over a week now and no sign of an update.

charred crystal Oct 24, 2022, 6:44 AM

#

Hmm but why does this issue not occured when I installed my GT 1030?

#

Or when I was in windows 10?

heavy pike Oct 24, 2022, 6:45 AM

#

Have you updated your cards drivers recently?

charred crystal Oct 24, 2022, 6:45 AM

#

Yea

heavy pike Oct 24, 2022, 6:45 AM

#

I’m assuming you have as 522.25 is only recent

#

Then that would be why the issues occurred

charred crystal Oct 24, 2022, 6:45 AM

#

But after I saw this issue I switched it to GT 1030 to see

#

But then it does not occur

#

The issue

heavy pike Oct 24, 2022, 6:45 AM

#

You swapped the card?

charred crystal Oct 24, 2022, 6:45 AM

#

Yea to see

heavy pike Oct 24, 2022, 6:46 AM

#

Is the GT1030 on 522.25?

#

I’d assume it wouldn’t even be compatible with 522.25

charred crystal Oct 24, 2022, 6:46 AM

#

Lemme double check I could be wrong

#

Btw is it normal for a GPU to spin at max speed when powering up?

heavy pike Oct 24, 2022, 6:50 AM

#

Sometimes, different manufacturers have different startup procedures. If you can see the fans spinning on max and GPUZ shows a low GPU consumption there could be an issue. But if the card works I wouldn’t worry about it.

#

GT1030 supports 522.25 drivers, if you have those installed on the card and it works fine then it could be a compatibility issue with newer gen cards.

charred crystal Oct 24, 2022, 6:52 AM

#

Fair enough

charred crystal Oct 24, 2022, 6:52 AM

Yea true as GT 1030 is kinda like a mesozoic period card

heavy pike Oct 24, 2022, 6:53 AM

#

Yeah exactly, did you check to see if it has 522.25 installed?

charred crystal Oct 24, 2022, 6:56 AM

#

charred crystal Btw is it normal for a GPU to spin at max speed when powering up?

Hmm was going to but I've noticed this issue while I was doing it

#

heavy pike Oct 24, 2022, 6:58 AM

#

Is the card overheating? If it isn’t then it’s not an issue. Some cards do that on startup then stop after a few minutes. If you’re concerned let it idle and monitor temps, if they don’t go up it’s fine.

charred crystal Oct 24, 2022, 6:59 AM

#

heavy pike Is the card overheating? If it isn’t then it’s not an issue. Some cards do that ...

The fans stops after I'm in the login page and the temps are well below 30 celcius

heavy pike Oct 24, 2022, 7:00 AM

#

Yeah that’s definitely normal, nothing to worry about.

charred crystal Oct 24, 2022, 7:00 AM

ah i see thx for clearing my concerns

heavy pike Oct 24, 2022, 7:02 AM

#

charred crystal ah i see thx for clearing my concerns

All good, with the GT1030 chances are it’s working because it’s an older card. My advice would be downgrade the drivers on your 20 series card to the previous driver version, probably from a month or two ago and try that. The issue should definitely be resolved.

charred crystal Oct 24, 2022, 7:06 AM

#

Ah I see I'll let u know if it works thx a lot for the advice tho

heavy pike Oct 24, 2022, 7:07 AM

All good 👍
