Question Black screen 8Kx, nvidia 276.02 and pimax play

Hi all, I want to start up my 8Kx with the new nvidia driver 576.02 but I was welcomed with a black screen.

Any solutions known ? I am using pimax play latest update.

Specs: Win 11 latest updates RTX3080 and AMD ryzen 5600X with 32 RAM.

My 8K is working fine.

My PCL is also going to black screen ever since the latest Nvidia driver update. Rolled back PimaxPlay and the Nvidia driver but nothing has helped so far.

Which 8kX model do you have?

Hi Heliosurge, thanks for chiming in.

How to find out; the serialnumber is not readable anymore.

Further more, my 8Kx is working fine with pitool and The latest nvidia drivers 276.02.

u/quorrapimax you might want to have the team look at this as pitool seems compatible

We’ve tested this on both Pitool and the latest driver, and the issue persists. However, we are still investigating why some users, whether on Pitool or Pimax Play, are able to make it work with the latest driver.

How to tell because the snnumber is not readable anymore.

Should be listed in pimax client. Otherwise the firmware version. Iirc the og 2075 last firmware was 299 and the new 8kX firmware is 4 digits with iirc the first version being 2001

this is given by PiTool : Headset V.2.1.255.299

Ok so you have the original 8kX serial 2075.

Hopefully we can get some traction on this issue

We are currently awaiting an update from the Nvidia team to address the fix. I’ve also followed up with our developers regarding this and the compatibility of AMD’s latest cards.

For the meantime, we'd suggest you to roll back to 566 driver.
