Since there are frequent crashes or instability issues with some GPU drivers, I’d like to ask for recommendations on GPU drivers for this version

RTX 3060, 3090, 4090, RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell, RTX 5090.

Does the CPU model also affect this issue?

Here is a list of CPUs, AMD Ryzen 9 3950x, AMD Ryzen 9 5900x, AMD Ryzen 9 5950x, AMD Ryzen 9 7900x, AMD Ryzen 9 9950x 3d

Hi there,

The latest version of Engine/Config/BaseHardware.ini generally has the SuggestedDriverEntry (currently 560.81) as well as the recommended ones to deny in the DriverDenyList. That said, based on more recent known issues related to shader heap overflow, I recommend an even more recent version from the 595.x branch for the GPUs you mentioned, the AMD CPU models don’t have a known affect here.

This is assuming you’re using Windows. If you’re using Linux or Mac, the driver recommendations are likely different.

Hi alex,

When we started to use either 595.71 or 595.79 we were getting white screens when trying log into shotgun desktop

Looking at the release dates there must have been issues as it was 10 days between.

And we’re experiencing a bug that’s affecting other applications (Autodesk Flow Production/Shotgrid).

As a result, we rolled back to version 582.x last week.

So, what’s the best solution? Is version 582.x one of the recommended options alongside 595.x?

Apologies for the delay, the drivers I suggested were for the highest stability but am not aware of driver graphics bugs with other applications. I’m passing this question to my colleagues who may be more familiar with those applications.

Hi,

Apologies for the delay, the person this issue is assigned to was at Unreal Fest. I don’t have any updates to share.

Hi Moh Rifki, at the Epic LA Lab 595.97 is the GPU version we currently have installed on the Stage machines. We use half on ADA 6000 GPUs and the other half on Ampere A6000. The CPU is 9995 ThreadRipper Pro on Asus WRX90SAGE-SE motherboard.

We have done limited testing on GeForce Blackwell 5090 on the some machines with the same 595.79 driver version.

We have not tested any other flavors of Blackwell hardware, and we did lock the Nvidia driver version when we started testing and QA UE 5.8 release.

Let us know if 595.97 works better for you.
