I have the same Issues in Deep Rock Galatic. With driver 575.51.02:

kernel: NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:01:00): 109, pid=7758, name=FSD-Win64-Shipp, Ch 00000021, errorString CTX SWITCH TIMEOUT, Info 0x3c034

The issue appears here after have installed the last driver 575.57.08.
It is interesting to note that my precedent driver was working smooth without this issue.
So I have used without any issue for 6 weeks the driver 575.51.02 (beta).

“Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora” also being bombarded with this, especially on photo mode. Tried a plethora of nvidia drivers - same results. Different version of Protons - same results.

kernel: [ 6139.157212] NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:01:00): 109, pid=19460, name=afop.exe, Ch 00000031, errorString CTX SWITCH TIMEOUT, Info 0x3c02e

There is another related thread that I posted in for Clair Obscur Expedition 33:

I got XID 109 errors with:

  • RTX 3080Ti
  • nvidia driver 575.57.08
  • Kernel 6.14.8 (cachyos)
  • application: Steam + Proton 9.0-4
  • game: Stalker 2 (DLSS+Frame Gen)
  • behaviour: game freeze when game start or after few minutes while monitor display a 10Hz FPS (monitor integrated function) and while there is no problem with other application that use GPU (terminal, browser, picom, Xorg)

Rollback on nvidia beta driver 575.51.02 fixes it for me.

You know i’ve checked everything thats public, tested driver after driver and i’m at the end of the rope. This just doesn’t work - nvidia software i mean. I could say its linux-only issue, that big company doesn’t give a dime about it because why should they with free-of-charge os’s, but that would be lying. Im getting more and more reports on different support channels that nvidia doesn’t work even on commercial platforms like windows 11; people are getting ctds all over and are forced to rollback their drivers way before 570 branch happened. First it was that bs scamming with prices, bitcoins and whatnots and now this? Im seeing this topic, its not new, months passed by and its just a waiting game. But who really has time to wait? My costumers would devour me alive and no bone would be left if my work would make them wait.
