In our OpenGL application, we started getting random crashes after updating our Nvidia driver. We’re not sure which driver version is the culprit, but we’re running on:
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with Max-Q Design
Driver version: 27.21.14.6231 (08.04.2021)
The crash happens randomly and follows a “D3D11: Removing Device.” message.
We tried setting the TdrDelay flag in the registry as suggested in another post, but that didn’t work. (BUG REPORT : nvoglv64.DLL)
We found a temporary “solution” to the problem by creating a profile in the nvidia control panel for our program and setting the preferred GPU as to use “High-performance NVIDIA processor”. This prevents the crashes for some reason. This is needed even though we are already enabling NVIDIA Optimus using the NvOptimusEnablement flag.
