This issue occurs if a user uninstalls the GPU driver with Nvidia control panel completely from their system with the help of a popular driver uninstaller, called “Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU)”. It is one of the most widespread issues related to Nvidia GPUs and drivers. One of the few issues faced by the prosumers and consumers is the notorious “ Display Settings are not available” followed by a message, “You are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU” issue.ĭespite having Nvidia GPU installed on the system, you can still face this issue.

The drivers rarely have any issues with them, but they do exist. Nvidia is known for its high quality and drivers of their GPUs.ĭue to them being long in the GPU manufacturing industry, their driver support is outclassing and is very reliable. The latest graphics card units are powerful, and due to high demand, they are currently out of stock in most parts of the world due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and other factors.


It is their 2nd gen of real-time ray tracing enabled called, titled RTX series for short. It is the successor to the RTX 20 series. Nvidia released their anticipated RTX 30 series in September 2020. The presence of Nvidia in the GPU market makes it one of the most trusted and most selling GPU manufacturers in the world. The PCI bus ID (as domain:bus:device.function in hexadecimal).Nvidia has been manufacturing graphic processing units for 26 years and is in the GPU manufacturing game for a long time.As specified in the nvidia-smi command documentation (page 8, under "Driver Model"), TCC drivers (Tesla Compute Cluster) are mostly used for compute operations (as shown in the Nvidia Control Panel's Usage Mode), while the WDDM ones (Windows Display Driver Model) are for graphic usage.Useful information that is outlined in the above screenshot. When running the nvidia-smi -i command, the output prompts to the GPU status, with its usage and driver details. It can be run in Command Prompt from its directory in C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI. The nvidia-smi command-line utility provides additional information regarding the GPU state. When checking in the Task Manager, the GPU tab is not showing. When opening Nvidia Control Panel, only the Manage GPU Utilization menu is available. In this menu, there is only the Dedicated for compute needs Usage Mode, while graphics tasks (like 3D Settings) are not present.
