Don't update to NVidia 610.62 Driver as chief architect X17 unexpectedly quit.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

We've done some testing on our end and have confirmed that there is an ongoing issue with the NVidia 610.47 driver and the NVidia RTX 40 series. So far this seems to be specific to the NVidia RTX 40 series and we have not reproduced it on the 30 or 50 series. 

 

The current solution is to roll back to a previous April driver. If you would like assistance rolling back your driver please contact our Technical Support Team.

I have the same issue, my system is running a Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super graphics card. Uninstalled Nvidia's studio driver 610.47 driver update and reinstalled to April 596.36 update by downloading direct from Nvidia's website https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/drivers/details/267262/. Seems to be working.

I wish I saw this before I updated....just rolled back to April and it works again, however, its "lagging" quite a bit.

The fix is up to Nvidia, it is their bug.  The issue has been reported to them and we are waiting on a fixed driver.
