Scott Williams Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I recently upgraded my graphics card to a 1660 super. Affinity photo is constantly crashing when I use recent drivers. If I roll back to drivers from last year then everything is fine. I am on Windows 10 64 bit. It usually happens when loading any image. It seems to be when the image has loaded and it tries to display the image. Sometimes when loading a raw file it does not happen until I hit develop. It is fine until it tries to display the image and then it crashes. If I turn off hardware acceleration and use warp then everything is fine. It is the same with the beta version. No crash report is being generated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_M Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 That's an interesting question. What kind of driver should we use with Affinity Photo as a rule? The gaming or the studio version?

Scott Williams Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 I've just tested on my other machine with same os, drivers and graphics card. It has an old i5 processor rather than the ryzen 5 3600 in my dev machine. The nvidia settings are exactly the same and there is no crash.

I have gone backwards though the game ready drivers today. The latest one to work for me is 442.74. Any game ready drivers after that one one don't work. So I will just stick with that one for now.
