Wonder how long Nvidia is going to cling to MS' ways instead of doing some actual driver work of their own.Ĭlick to expand.Yeah i'd lean more towards to drivers then anything else, AMD has it's own issues of TDR problems but in issue may just as suggests. It's especially off putting when it comes at a time when Nvidia is enjoying the lion's share of game endorsements due to way more gamers playing on their GPUs.ĭisclaimer, I searched to see if others were having these desktop, HDR, and ME Andromeda problems with Nvidia cards, and pretty much all that responded on the subject were. It's too bad because the card itself is great, but after spending as much as I did on it, I have no desire to play the hurry up and wait game, or which games can I play game, just because Nvidia is too busy working on advanced AI in other industries to write their gaming drivers properly. These are the kind of reasons I returned the 1080 Ti for refund. You still get the mouse cursor staying onscreen bug with either AMD or Nvidia, but at least I can play it on AMD. However I still couldn't play Mass Effect Andromeda on the 1080 Ti, because it would crash every time I hit Esc.ĪMD instead bypasses the Windows HDR and implements it through their driver, which is why AMD's HDR actually works. The weird thing is, even Mass Effect Andromeda, the only game I know of that uses the W10 version of HDR, has to be set so HDR is off in the game menu for it to work. You have to set it to YCbCr444 8 bit before the desktop looks good, which makes it impossible to use HDR through Windows. Also, when installing the latest Nvidia drivers, the color format by default is set to YCbCr422 10 bit, which makes the desktop look very washed out with faint text. The EVGA 1080 Ti FTW3 I just bought cannot even play Mass Effect Andromeda on the latest driver. The only driver problems I've had lately are more with Nvidia than AMD.

Makes me wonder if instead the driver is conflicting with some software you have on your PC.

Click to expand.Really weird that you'd have this kind of problem on a newer gen AMD card when I can use even the latest 17.11.4 driver on my old 7970 with no problems.
