Nvidia BSOD when performing large mesh moves or random BSODS?

I have had that happen in the latest couple of updates and solution proved elusive...

How I solved it:

1) force video compatibility to Direct X9: go into prefs and change "Graphics Driver" to direct x9

2) Revert back to a video driver from 2018. I know, not a great thing, but...

3) ENJOY FASTER FUSION 360 Performance?!?!

Yes, you read that right.. Crashes went away COMPLETELY and Fusions overall performance picked up!!!!

Also, this is somewhat related to some of the other wierd buggy behaviors I was seeing... As it turns out right now, they are ALL GONE?!?!?!

Obviously if you have a newer video card, you are likely stuck at this point... I will soon go to DirectX 11 and compare stability and speed and will also try this technique on my newer desktop.

Definitely watching this thread. My I7 3.2 ghz octo cpu, ssd, 16gb ram & NVIDIA RTX 1080 have been going downhill the past several months. Seriously slow to even load a file, browser goes black constantly, click the screen during most any operation - "Not Responding" pops up and offline is no improvement. Took 13 month old computer to Geek Squad and they diagnose software issue (Windows or Fusion or ...) and want to wipe the hard drive to start.

the RTX series cards seem to have a driver issue with some productivity softwares, no only Fusion.

Its almost 100 percent Nvidia driver related at this point, however, I don't know if the RTX could run an older driver stably.

Before this, I also had the black menu issue.. Did this same techique with the GTX1060 and had success. So very likely a driver issue. Reinstall the OS just means they have no clue.

have you tried reverting your video card drivers yet?? Or, better yet, utilizing the "studio ready" drivers? I had to do that on another machine because there was some issues with Blender, and lo and behold when I reverted the driver for Blender, the issues with Fusion went away..
