Download GeForce 461.09 WHQL drivers.

Game Ready Drivers provide the best possible gaming experience for all major new releases, including Virtual Reality games. Prior to a new title launching, our driver team is working up until the last minute to ensure every performance tweak and bug fix is optimized for the best gameplay on day-1. We have a discussion thread open on this driver here in our Nvidia driver discussion forums. For those that wonder, the DCH driver is a Microsoft DCH (Declarative Componentized Hardware supported apps) driver and refers to a new Windows 10 driver package preinstalled by OEMS implementing the Microsoft Universal Driver paradigm. While the base core component files remain the same, the way DCH drivers are packaged differs from previous Legacy (Standard) drivers. We recommend the normal driver and not DCH.

The latest Game Ready Driver provides support for the Quake II RTX v1.4.0 update which enables support for the new Vulkan Ray Tracing extensions. Now, any GPU with support for Vulkan Ray Tracing can experience Quake II RTX in all its path-traced glory.

I had a blank screen / black screen lockup yesterday.
It started with the shutdown of my USB Mouse and Keyboard. Two Seconds later the Screen went black. I was just browsing via Firefox. I've disabled the hardware acceleration for now. I will watch it closely.

I had a look at the Event viewer - but there was nothing.... just the Startup Entries after the reboot.
Interesting, i had a similar issue yesterday except the other way around. Where plugging in my USB DVD Drive caused my Soundcard to lose power and i had to fully power off and power on again.

Also had the screen go black for a fraction of a second earlier that day.

I'll go back to 457.51 which i had installed before 461.09.

Yes, exactly. It felt like HDMI cables were just pulled out suddenly.

Today we have met three friends each with our pc's and av receivers in my house, willing to try to rule out failures due to different configurations in general, it has taken us 6 hours and a meal, the connection combinations have been crazy, ruling out possibilities configuration in Windows, reinstalling the drivers again and again without seeing clear results, but with the same effects randomly between the computers. Only one of them seemed to affect him less and we do not know why ... the fact is that after so many times reinstalling the nvidia driver and our av receivers we have left it in the same conclusion something has to be in the management of connection or HDMI protocols, because with only one it goes as always, well and using two HDMI cables from the same graph is when the problems begin, at least this is our case ... and many others here seem to be similar.
Regarding HotFix 461.33, I don't dare to install it until it is stated what has been solved, for me personally, since 460.79 they all lower my performance in Cyberpunk 2077 from 2 to 5 fps.
