Troubleshooting Vulkan Issues with the New RTX 5080 GPU

Hello everyone,

I hope this post finds you well! This year, I upgraded to an RTX 5080 graphics card, full of excitement for improved performance and stunning visuals. However, I have encountered an unexpected issue that I’d like to share in hopes of finding a solution.

Specifically, I’ve been experiencing problems with two Vulkan-based games, Schedule 1 and Balatro. After a brief period of gameplay, both titles result in my PC crashing. The only way to get my system back up and running is by power cycling it, which requires unplugging the unit for a few minutes. This has never happened before my GPU upgrade, and I’m at a bit of a loss trying to identify the underlying cause.

To troubleshoot this issue, I’ve already reinstalled the graphics drivers, but the problem persists. If anyone has experienced similar difficulties or has suggestions on potential fixes, your insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

Looking forward to your advice!
