Are the devs seriously ignoring major bugs like this? Hello? I didn’t pay $1000 floating dollars for a driver support that is THIS bad. It’s been like almost a month since a guy said “trying to reproduce.”
It was my first time to buy nvidia. But I agree with Linus now.
There’s no way there is lack of information with the amount of people posting their specs. Nvidia is just sitting on a mountain of dollars and being lazy.
I am having the same issue with multiple Ubuntu 18.04 systems that are running the 460.80 driver version,the systems affected all have the issue with DP connection only. And it appears to be only affecting the pascal architecture cards up to now.
If we use a DP to HDMI connector there is no longer the issue.
At last I found this post after searching all day! So I’m not mad after all! It took me some time before I got the idea that it might come from the displayport. It is working with HDMI here as well, but not DP. RTX 3080, same symptoms on 460.80 and 465.27. Last working version was 460.73. Is there an easy way to downgrade to 460.73 using Ubuntu repos ?
Can confirm 460.73 fixed it for me too. Also tried the new driver 460.84 from nvidia official NVIDIA DRIVERS Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver but it did not install everything right, cuda was not usable for instance (using Ubuntu 21.04)
Same issue here after upgrading from 460.73 to 460.80, and same behavior on 465.27. RTX 2080, Ubuntu 20.04, kernels 5.8.0-55 and 5.4.0-74, two DP + one HDMI displays.
I have the same problem on my Ubuntu 20.04 which I updated but didn’t expected things to happen - it’s a stable distro supposedly, why I get broken Nvidia drivers?
I am using Display Port Dell monitors with RTX2080Super. Trying to roll to a driver version that doesn’t break my system.
Edit: Ended up switching the cable to a HDMI and then using the graphical UI to switch drivers.

I am using a GTX1070 and an Acer VG270UP when using HDMI no issues but as soon as a DP cable is plugged in X does not start or the system crashes as soon as the DP cable is plugged in.
I had hopes with 465.31 but problem still exists. No more 144hz and dual screen for me.
I tried many things, the only solution I found was to install an older (nvidia official) version of the drivers NVIDIA DRIVERS Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver. I could not find a way to force install a previous version from ubuntu repositories. I’m actually amazed that this has not been rolled back by canonical, at least on 20.04 LTS which is supposed to be stable and well tested
Same issue. I have an AMD 3800X, 64 gb ram, rtx 2080 super, fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04 kernel 5.8.0-55.
Of three 4K monitors, one shows up fine (hooked up to rtx 2080 super via hdmi), while the other two (connected to display port on rtx 2080 super via hdmi adapter from monitors) show up at low resolution. The proper resolution doesn’t show up on the system monitor settings or nvidia-settings window. Nouveau drivers seem to run the displays at full resolution and everything was working on previously installed Ubuntu 19.
Nvidia-smi seems to detect the card with driver versions 460.80, 450.119.04, and 465.19.01, (cuda 11.3), but the two monitors connected via display port show only show 1080p and lower resolution options instead of 4K.
