The latest Nvidia driver is giving me problems with one of my monitors.

I have a PC with the following specifications: i7-14700k with RTX 5080 and 64GB DDR5 RAM with three 4K 120Hz monitors that worked perfectly until I installed the latest Nvidia driver released on March 10th. After installing it, all three monitors went black. I have to unplug a specific monitor connected via DisplayPort (Gigabyte G32QC) for the other two monitors to have image and sound again. With all three connected, one receives an image, but the screen is incredibly slow. I uninstalled the drivers using DDU, and all three monitors worked perfectly until I reinstalled the latest driver, and the same problem returned with the same monitor. Has anyone else experienced something similar with this driver?

Same. Triple 65's in 2K at 165 Hz (It's what my workflow requires) basically bricked my PC and turned all my monitors off. Ugh. Took hours just to get back to the previous driver and stable again.

Just install an older more stable driver, Nvidia has been fucking around with the newest drivers for a while now.

Where can I find older drivers? I always install them using the Nvidia app.

Google 591.86 Nvidia driver download, this is the last confirmed stable 40 and 50 series driver.
You manually download and install it from Nvidia's website.

windows automatically installed 591.86 and while playing a game the entire operating system went down to 1 fps, the task manger showed no performance issue at all and exiting the game and restarting the pc took 5 minutes
