OpenCL Printf crashing display drivers

Hey everyone, new to the forums here.

So getting to the point, does nvidia supports printf on openCL? While running my kernel and trying to get anything to printf for debugging purposes it seems to crash my display drivers always and also the application itself. The kernel is compiling without a problem so my guess is that the printf IS indeed being recognized but for some reason it always crashes my display drivers.

My Specs:

OpenCL ver: 1.2
GPU: GeForce GTX 1660
Ram: 8GB
CPU: Intel i5-2400

It seems to work correctly for me.

If printf is crashing your display drivers this may be an indication of a kernel timeout. Excessive use of printf in kernel code could easily lead to that.
