Nvlddmkm driver issue

[vicvega]

Hello,

i am a bit frustrated:cry:. I got my brand new Gtx 780 graphics card, plugged it in;launched DCSWorld and tada..10 seconds in game the screen stutters and resumes just to stutter again a couple of seconds later.

 

In the Windows Eventviewer i see that i get that dreaded Nvlddmkm driver issue.

The rest of my Game Library just runs fine ( Battlefield4, Rome2, Dawn of War).

My old Gtx660ti ran the game perfectly. RMA'ed the card once only to get it back saying that no problem could be found and that there might be a game-side conflict.

 

My Rig:

I5 3570k @ 4,3 ghz @ H2O cooled

16gb ddr3 1333 ram

Samsung 250gb Ssd

Asus Xonar D2x with Unified drivers

Corsair 860i watt psu

Inno 3d iChill GeForce GTX 780 DHS

Anyone able to assist?

Hi,

 

I had that with one of my previous graphics card (gtx295).

The card was on the brink of death for me. Perhaps you can provide screenshots/film of what happens to the RMA company.

Hi,

thx for the reply. Like i said, the rest of my games run fine without any problem. I have the feeling that everyone is going to blame the other as the culprit. Bad coding, bad driver, bad card, bad....

I cant return the card since it is working with every other game besides the DCS ones.

The Driver is Crashing but the WDDM is keeping windows from throwing you a stop (BSOD), by recovering the driver

 

Check/Monitor Temps and Power Levels.

Got the same issue with an Inno3d Ichill GTX780.

 

The card comes heavily factory overclocked and out of the box gives a GPU frequency even 10% above the numbers guaranteed by the manufacturer, but that seemed a bit too much.

I raised the voltage a bit since temps are no factor and lowered the frequency at the same time and it all runs stable since then.

Yes this is something you can try.

 

On mine it did exactly as yours: in a flight sim (both DCS and FSX), it had the error, but not with any other game.

Thanks,

lol, i got the same card, only the DHS one. As a last resort i tried lowering the clock since i noticed that instead of 1085 boost clock i had like 1140. i lowered the clock to be around 1085 without raising voltage. It runs perfectly now.

Why do you have to raise the voltage anyway?

Well, i raised the voltage as a first approach to get stability with the extra bit in frequency.

 

Since that didn't work i lowered the freq as described and as the temps are no problem for that card i just left it running where it was stable.

 

I've got the DHS version as well btw and i find it remarkable, how far they overclock that thing beyond what's being advertised.

 

The card takes all the powerconsuming benchmarkings and runs ARMA for example without sweat on the higher frequencies, but fails only with DCS. Whatever the reason might be.
