Issues caused by Capture One - Solution with GeForce Experience for NVIDIA

[AiDon]

Previously Capture One hardware acceleration optimization has seemed to make Affinity Photo crash using the NVIDIA GPUs as the primary renderer.

Recently NVIDIA, via the GeForce Experience application, provides a list of games and apps that can be optimized to run properly with the NVIDIA GPU as the primary renderer. The settings in the GeForce Experience need to be optimized and will end up looking like this:

 

After choosing to Optimize via the GeForce Experience application, note that you need to select the OPTIMIZE button and let it process, I am no longer experiencing crashes using these Performance settings.

I am not sure what the NVIDIA Optimize does but maybe the devs could look at why it no longer crashes even with capture One installed. Obviously I only have a GTX1050 but it may be worthwhile for others to see if it corrects their problems with other GPUs also.

Just as an addendum to this I also tried opening a ARW, easy culprit to make AP or AD crash with the uncompressed files, and it crashed AD. So in the GeForce Experience I hit REVERT and then Optimize again ... no more crashes.

That's interesting. I know we have spoken to Nvidia recently and they we working with us to figure out the nvwgf2umx.dll crash we were seeing. Perhaps this is the solution they came up with? I will do some poking - thank you.
