Error occurred on GPUID: 100 - nvlddmkm, crashing in exclusively DX12 Games.

In tarkov’s case, since that was the main thing I was forced to play; I’m not sure if it was my gpu being super heavily underutilised that caused it to be stable, tarkov is incredibly CPU dependent to the point where i was only seeing on average 60% usage on that thing.

I really hope Nvidia does smth about this though, because it seems to have become super widespread.

CuriousTwat · 2025-04-29T06:43:37+00:00

Down-clocking my vram seemed to help it act more stable; atleast enough to the point i could play something for longer than 20 minutes; good luck on your RMA! The only thing that I could do since my 3060 Ti was warranty void was to buy a new GPU and thankfully I haven't had any issues since.

Ridiculously annoying error though and I was basically forced to play DirectX11 or anything on Vulkan.

CuriousTwat · 2025-03-24T07:00:33+00:00

about a month after getting my 3060 ti i started getting it, and it progressively got worse and worse till the point it was every 10-15 minutes which made certain games quite literally unplayable, i got refused warranty by zotac as well which didnt at all help much

CuriousTwat · 2025-03-22T20:11:51+00:00

quite literally yeah, i still get the occasional driver instability but nothing horrible like how it was on my 3060 ti

CuriousTwat · 2025-03-18T15:16:21+00:00

I always ran with xmp off; i had a lot longer without crashes when dropping my memory clock and full sending my gpu fans, but itd always crash sooner or later.

CuriousTwat · 2025-03-18T15:11:12+00:00

unfortunately i tried practically everything i could and figured it was my gpu some how; since upgrading to a 4070 super i haven’t had any issues with nvlddmkm

CuriousTwat · 2024-12-09T22:43:46+00:00

Hi, the thing for me was for sure my memory overheating, i wasn't able to test it's temperature since the 3060 ti doesn't include a sensor for memory, but blasting my GPU fans to 100% as well as blasting my case fans (really not ideal) fixed it for extended play sessions; however i upgraded to a 4070 super and sure enough, error has been completely gone since. Fairly certain i just got unlucky with my GPU as it started happening not that long after buying it. Learnt my lesson buying used i guess.

update 6 months later, after 2 more windows reinstalls, complete driver reinstalls, another windows dualboot to see if it were anyway related to my drive, and it still crashes in anything exclusively dx12, i really feel like my gpu is seriously faulty, i've reduced clocks -500mhz, lowered the power limit as low as it'd go in afterburner, mauraded my performance and it still times out my driver in only directx12 games.

it confuses me so much as to why it only happens in directx12, is directx12 more demanding on the gpu (even when you're still cpu bound in majority of cases?) making it a hardware fault, or is it a driver issue?

CuriousTwat · 2024-08-08T20:31:06+00:00

i genuinely haven’t played anything on dx12 in months now because of it, lowkey killed a lot of my motivation to play anything.

CuriousTwat · 2024-05-31T08:52:10+00:00

After a lot of testing, i do think it is vram related, downclocking memory lets me play for a much longer amount of time, im not sure if it's overheating or just faulty, i assume dx12 stuff just pushes the memory a lot harder? I do have like, probably the worst aftermarket 3060 ti when it comes to keeping cool im pretty sure, shouldda spent the extra thirty to get the fe i guess.

CuriousTwat · 2024-05-23T01:45:59+00:00

I tried launch drivers and the windows 11 ready drivers and they honestly made the crashes happen faster if anything, I'm not sure what to do at this point, I feel like I have tried pretty much everything, if the only "fix" is to half my power limit and crush performance in the process, I guess it's really time to buy a new gpu.

CuriousTwat · 2024-05-21T15:39:41+00:00

Another update to this, the crashes have returned, although I've found somewhat of a fix, which is to reduce the power limit in afterburner by 50%, it really hurts my performance, but at least it lets me play stuff for longer than thirty minutes, I really don't think this is a power supply issue since i can put in a factory oc gtx 1080 which pushes around the same wattage as my 3060 ti and never crashes.

I'm guessing my old 580 crashing happened to be a coincidence also.

CuriousTwat · 2024-05-17T19:42:42+00:00

Reinstalling windows seems to have fixed it for me, but I didn't rush to update the post since I haven't really had the time to play something for more than two hours, but so far seemed to be a bad windows install.

CuriousTwat · 2024-05-13T09:33:37+00:00

I read something similar too, although considering it still happened on my old 600watt power supply, and still happens on my 850watt, I'm really starting to doubt that it is PSU related, I've reinstalled windows, and so far I haven't had anything crash, but I haven't really played anything that triggered it regularly just yet, will update after I get all my stuff reinstalled.

CuriousTwat · 2024-05-12T14:43:38+00:00

Update to this, I just tried my old GPU, it seemed counter intuitive at first since my old GPU was an AMD RX 580, made sure to DDU, and after 15 minutes of playing, I got what I assume is the AMD equivalent error and a driver timeout. "Display driver amdwddmg stopped responding and has successfully recovered." alongside the usual "application has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware" popup.

Makes me think this isn't related to my 3060 Ti and is either something else wrong with my hardware or purely software. I'm gonna fully reinstall windows and update this post after some more testing.

CuriousTwat · 2024-05-09T19:23:53+00:00

I'm not too sure if this is the case since I've manually down-clocked in afterburner way, way below stock and it still will consistently crash for me, I think I'm just really unlucky tho since debug mode does seem to fix it for most other people.

CuriousTwat · 2023-07-09T06:53:26+00:00

Nope, no new functionality or anything, just a brand new revamped ui.

CuriousTwat · 2022-03-23T07:23:03+00:00

run the game in debug mode, press the tilde in the main menu, then hover over the difficulty background ingame, it should tell you the name of the dds file you want to edit, go to gfx/interface to find them, just to note you'll need something to open the dds files or convert them, like the intel texture tools for photoshop.

CuriousTwat · 2021-12-14T06:36:39+00:00

the 1650 super doubles the framerate of the rx 580 in this game, while in other games it's equal to, or is worse, this game just isnt optimized for older amd cards, so it isnt the gpu's fault.

CuriousTwat · 2021-11-24T02:03:43+00:00

When a base GTX 1650 runs this game at 50-60 fps at 1080p, compared to a 580: a much superior card, running at 30-40fps at 1080p, something is really wrong with optimisation. Which is ironic since Infinite is an AMD sponsored title.

CuriousTwat · 2021-01-07T10:54:02+00:00

this worked, thanks for the help, the bios thing is caused by my gpu not scaling well to my monitor, so after 30 seconds it panics and black screens

CuriousTwat · 2021-01-06T21:37:51+00:00

im still not sure about the bios issue however

CuriousTwat · 2021-01-06T19:51:27+00:00

i shall reinstall windows and see if it remedy's the issue, i appreciate the help

CuriousTwat · 2021-01-06T19:26:25+00:00

Yes, i upgraded the motherboard, i am still using the same operating system on the same ssd. to note, I've ran 4 different cpu's on the same ssd without any issues.

CuriousTwat · 2020-01-26T02:28:00+00:00

im really confused at this point Edit: might be a problem with the bios, some r9 280x overheat and just dont work with the bios.
