1080ti incompatible with latest drivers

[RothFTP]

Hello,

My 3080 and 1080 ti cards show erratic behavior when I use any nvidia driver later than the 472.12 version. I've been stuck using those ever since November due to this problem. The incompatibility lies with the 1080ti, as I have discovered, which I use merely for mining.

Now, though, that the hashrate of my 3080 LHR can be 100% unlocked using the newest miner versions, I I'd like to update my drivers. Attempted using the 100% unlocked miners (T-Rex and NBminer) with the 472.12 driver version and it's unstable, as expected and explained in the release notes of the 100% unlocked miners. When I tried disabling the 1080ti and updating to the latest driver the miner works perfectly.

I've emailed nvidia back then, where they merely asked my system information and that was it. I, myself found the, albeit temporary, solution.

The "symptoms" when I use any driver above 472.12 are:

1) The whole system becomes extremely sluggish, needing around one minute to open a window. Sometimes the cursor freezes too. Also, the more I keep using it, the worse.

2) GPU-Z shows both cards as not having cuda, openCL or physX enabled.

3) Having the 1080ti disabled, the 3080 with the latest drivers works normally. The opposite doesn't, so the incompatibility must be with the 1080ti.

 

Why would the card work as normal with older drivers and how while being a secondary card would it bring my whole system on its knees?

Any insights?

 

The system is as follows:

CPU: 8700K

M/B: Asus Rog Maximus X formula

RAM: Trident Z Neo 32GB 3600 CL16

PSU: EVGA Supernova 1600 P2

GPU1: Galax HOF 1080 ti lab edition

GPU2: Gigabyte RTX 3080 Gaming OC waterforce

OS: Windows 10 PRO 64-bit

Nvidia website shows that the latest driver for 1080ti is 512.77, and on my single gpu 1080ti system i also use drivers that are bigger than 500 with no problems, but i don't mine.

Have you tried 512.55 or other drivers, not just the latest? Maybe try Nvidia studio drivers.

Sadly, the problem persists using 512.77 and 512.55 studio or gaming drivers.

I even tried flashing some different BIOSes I found too.

I'm having the same exact issue with this.

 

EVGA 1080ti FTW3

Asus Tuf z590 mobo

I5-11600K

32gb ddr4 cl36 from Corsair

 

My 1080ti is my only card and trying to use any of the newer drivers slows my system down so badly that I can barely log in.

 

Has anyone found a solution?

I'd boot a mining os off a flash drive and keep the windows os updated.

Hello, sorry for reviving this old thread. I had issues with my 1080Ti aswell and it only works on 460.79 driver version. Did you find any solution? First time i see someone mentioning the exact same issue as me.
