devnulllore Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 I also have to keep in mind that both Nvidia and Microsoft say it's a known issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, i am glad i don't have this problem it would drive me nuts the amount of time you have spent trying to fix it, lets hope the card was faulty.

No, it wouldn't as you have no issues with the onboard video, it would point to a compatibility issue with the NVidia card(s) and the rest of your setup.

+BudMan MVC Posted September 20, 2019 MVC Share Posted September 20, 2019 So you got the same card? Where exactly is the links to where MS and Nvidia say its a "known" issue - did you post those sometime back, I do not recall seeing those.. Its something specific to that "card"? since I have nvidia card, and running same version of windows as you and not seeing any such issues.

This thread has been going on forever - you would think if fixed, or still broke he would update everyone that has been involved, etc. Real life does get in the way for sure - but if he was on, and posting in other threads??

devnulllore Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 Yes I had some personal issues. Still having the same issues with the new card. I have a friend who is going to let me use his new GXT 1080 to see if it happens with a totally different card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+BudMan MVC Posted September 23, 2019 MVC Share Posted September 23, 2019 Lets us know how the GXT 1080 card works out - but still curious to these links from ms and nvidia where your saying its a known issue... I have not been able to find any such info. Is your problem seen after your computer comes back from standby or hibernate? Your not trying to overclock your card are you?

SnoopZ Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 If the GTX card still has issues maybe the GPU slot got damaged when you upgraded last time as it was working before? Are you able to borrow an AMD card off anyone to test? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devnulllore Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) We tried the GXT 1080 and had the same problem. Then we tried an ATI 5000 series we got our hands on and it was fine. I am fed up and am bringing it to my IT shop this week as regardless I am stuck with the 1660 card.

I bet you aren’t providing enough power to the card. It’s probably borderline. Try a Vega 64, lol. Crashes with that would confirm it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devnulllore Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 BTW I could not pinpoint any one post regarding the drivers and stuttering as there a too many. If you want to check some out go to the Nvidia driver forums and just search for drivers and stuttering and you will see the last few revisions are full of issues. I will be off line for a day or two as I am bringing my PC to my tech guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Users stating they have issue X and Y.. doesn't point to a specific problem.. That is KNOWN... Users have issues all the freaking time Doesn't always mean that there is something specific with the driver or the OS.. I am using the latest drives, on the latest OS.. And have gone through multiple revisions of drivers, and updates of the OS.. Have had zero issues, etc. Did MS or Nvidia come out and state - oh its X, we know that is a problem - do "this" for work around, or wait til we fix in update Y?? 22 hours ago, adrynalyne said: Are you connecting all power connectors on the card?

If he installed the PSU himself, since that is a modular PSU (And happens to be the same one I have)... I hope he still has his bag of "extra" cables... Actually one thing he could have done is just have Task Manager opened and on the GPU tab and go about his business and see if and when the GPU spikes if that's when the stuttering occurs. adrynalyne 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll admit I’ve not been following closely. I just saw that a low powered Nvidia card worked when a high powered one didn’t and my immediate reaction was power related.

devnulllore Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 Ok, my PC is back. The techs tried several different things. Then used several different Nvidia and ATI cards none of the ATI cards reproduced the issues while every single Nvidia card caused the issue until they reverted to an old driver, the early 430's then it went away. They did some other tests as well and eliminated the power issue. Their conclusion after testing and reading many posts on the Nvidia forums and the Microsoft forums that it's a driver issue or at least the driver with the latest version of Windows. I have a pre 1903 version of Windows I am going to try next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
