DisplayPort and driver problems reported on a recent build featuring an RTX 5080 and Ryzen 7900X3D.
Hey there! I just wrapped up setting up my new PC and hit a few bumps along the way. The DisplayPort connection is acting up—sometimes it works, other times it doesn’t. I’ve verified both cables and ports, but I’m still unsure if the problem lies with the GPU or the monitor.
Also, since I bought my CPU and motherboard locally at a market, I’m pretty sure they’re genuine. Everything seems to boot and post normally.
The bigger concern is my graphics driver. It keeps crashing when I launch games like Valorant, Enlisted, or Minecraft. The games freeze, crash, or just don’t start. I’ve reinstalled drivers several times and even tried DDU, but the issue continues. I haven’t disassembled anything since the build, so I’m not sure if it’s a driver problem, a hardware conflict, or something related to the BIOS.
Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!
Many developers suggest going back to NVIDIA drivers for the RTX 5000 line in December 2024 due to stability problems with the latest versions. Additionally, you're facing compatibility challenges because your PCIe 5.0 graphics card is installed on a PCIe 4.0 motherboard. Consider adjusting the PCIe 16x slot settings in UEFI to version 4.0 to avoid issues during the transition from C-state to P-state.
Hi there! Thanks for your message. It seems like the issue might have been linked to the driver, which explains why everything started to work better. I appreciate your patience and understanding!
I believe the issue involves multiple drivers, the Nvidia application imposing its features onto games, and possibly a few unstable settings. Recently, I had to disable frame generation in Diablo 4 because it kept rebooting and causing a BSOD (with an Nvidia driver identified as the culprit). Turning on DLSS without frame generation made the game appear poor, so I rely on FSR2 instead. The main benefit is performance at 4K resolution—games run faster by roughly 40-50% with no quality loss, even when watching pixels closely. This depends on the title, but generally it works well. DLSS reduces ghosting around moving objects, which is why I prefer it unless it breaks gameplay.
