I recently bought a 2560x1440 360Hz monitor (monitor 1) and now my system freeze and/or some screens lose video signal several seconds in those different scenario: ~10 after system startup the system freezes several seconds (I can’t move cursor and caps/num lock keyboard led doesn’t respond) Somet…

It doesn’t work for me. I still have the issue even with Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling disabled.

I would like to clarify that only those black-screen freezes when alt-tabbing from and to exclusive fullscreened games do not occur anymore. The black-screen freezes are still occuring at startup of Windows and everytime the monitor-configuration changes - like turning displays off or on. As thesw…

I sill have the issue even when alt-tabbing in exclusive fullscreened games.

@MarkusHoHo Can you please give us an update? As mentioned before, the DSC bug is a very well known and documented issue by the community for ages. How to reproduce: 1- Have any monitor with Display Stream Compression (DSC) enabled. 2- Open any application in Exclusive Fullscreen. 3- Alt-tab out…

I tried the 571.96 CUDA driver and I still have black screens and freezes on Windows and now with 570.86.10 CUDA drivers on Linux I have black screens but no freeze. Back screens seem to be caused by VRR as 570.86.10 drivers now supports VRR on multiple monitors on Linux but freezes are only caused …

Hi @asfix1 , I really do not know what else to add. Whether this is a well documented issue or not and whatever our internal QA and engineering is doing about it, there is nothing I can share right now. I am sorry.

I have the same exact problem with an AW2725DF(2560p 360hz) and an LG ULTRAGEAR (1080p 144hz) It freezes after entering the desktop, when I enable of disable HDR, when I alt-tab from a fullscreen game, It also freezes when I open the Display settings and HW accelerated applications ( steam, discord…

To add to this, it seems that lowering the second display refresh rate to 60hz seems to alleviate the freezes duration. I also noticed that windows 11 update KB5049622 seems to make things worse, increasing the number of hang ups especially the ones that occurs when opening games and HW accelerated …

Hello @MarkusHoHo , Now with the 572.83 driver, the issue is even worse than before. I now have black screens in addition to freezes at startup. Any update ? I tested those screens with a Laptop with Intel integrated graphics and it has no issues.
