I am having trouble updating the drivers of my 1080 ti. every time I attempt to update to the latest version my pc slows to a crawl (I got about a frame every few seconds on my desktop just moving my mouse around and no matter how long I wait it does not fix itself) and have to revert the changes in windows safe mode to roll back the driver version to 456.71 and it will work completely fine again. This happens regardless of if I do a clean install or even use DDU to uninstall drivers first. I have even completely wiped everything on my pc and freshly installed windows. If I swap in my old 1050 ti the driver update will work perfectly fine, but when swapping the 1080 ti back as soon as the drivers kick in it will slow back to a crawl. This happens with all drivers past 456.71 now. I'm afraid my GPU may be dying in some way, but I'm out of ideas on what to try to get any new versions of drivers. I have been ignoring this problem for the most part for the last year or so until today when I now get visual artifacts in Elden ring and I assume its because I'm on stuck such an old driver version. What else can I do? swapping the 1080 ti into a completely different computer yields these same results.
