User reporting bug

-After installing the driver, when I tried to restart the PC, it stopped at the restarting screen. I had to press the power button to force the PC to shut down.

-The main monitor flashes black and white during driver installation, then the monitor turns off and is no longer detected. You can use the second monitor. The main monitor with the symptom is ViewSonic VX2458-P-MHD.
· You cannot use the third monitor with the GeForce RTX 3070 after installing this driver. When I connect a third monitor, all other screens freeze. I was able to use it with 511.65 without any problem.
-After updating the driver, the game will stop working. Clicking on the second monitor will make the game run, but clicking on the main monitor will stop it again. When I reinstalled the driver using DDU, it didn’t stop working, but this time I couldn’t set it to ultra or highest quality.

I’m using a laptop called Dell Alienware x17 R1 2022 (RTX 3080), but the main display isn’t showing and only the external monitor is showing.Also due to a Kernel Power error due to nvlddmkm.sysBlue screen error (BSoD) crashes more than 20 times.
・ ↑ The same problem has occurred on my Dell Alienware x17 R2. Dell also says he doesn’t know how to solve it. I tried to roll back to the 471 driver in Dell,I get a blue screen.

-Since 512.95, the shutdown has been repeated with a blue screen error.[MSI GTX 1060 ARMOR 6G OCV1]
-After using this driver, the PC crashes and restarts.[RTX 3090 FE]

-Since 512.95, many artifacts are displayed in F1 2021. This wasn’t the case with previous drivers, so it’s likely that this driver is affecting it.

-Since using this driver, the sound will be interrupted in all games, the game will lag, and the cutscene will be stuttering. Not only that, but when I’m talking on Discord, my voice is choppy or like a robot voice.

· All the games I have tested are fine and have no other issues.


A new known bug has been added that other PC monitors will not wake up when using an HDMI 2.1 TV with the RTX 3000 series. Please be careful if you are in the relevant environment.

Furthermore, in the user report, there are multiple bug reports related to the monitor, such as malfunction in a multi-monitor environment, BSoD occurring without displaying the built-in display when installing on a Dell notebook PC. Currently, people in a multi-monitor environment or a laptop environment (especially the Dell Alienware series) may want to take a look.
