I have an on-going issue where SU will cause my screen to go black effectively crashing the windows NVidia drivers. I have to unplug the monitor and re-plug it back in for it to come back. This consistently happens in all kinds of files; small amount of geo or large, many textures or just a few. I have attempted to change the AA settings to all settings, 0x-16x and I have also tried the classic engine. Nothing seems to work. Latest windows version; 23H2, Nvidia 572.16. Asus Strix 4080 Super.
I am on Win 11 ver 24H2 and the 10 DEC 2024 Nvidia Studio driver 566.36 and I do not have problems like you describe.
I’ll update to 572.16 and see what heppens.
BTW I run SketchUp on an external UHD display connect via a mini DisplayPort v1.2 cable.
So far, no big issues.
I have noticed (even with older drivers) that when my machine goes into screensaver or sleep mode that the external display (set as the primary display) goes off and when Windows wakes back up everything is on the internal display for a few seconds until the external display was awoken and then Windows resets the desktop back to how I had it setup across the two displays.
Annoying enough that I am going fiddle with the sleep settings to avoid it going to sleep so soon.
I am on a 32:9 OLED at 5120x1440 monitor via DP 1.4. Not running HDR.
Okay so I asked Copilot AI …
Any reported problems with Nvidia drivers running a 32:9 OLED display at 5120x1440 resolution, no HDR, via DisplayPort version 1.4 connection?
… it replied with some reference links:
Yes, there have been some reported issues with Nvidia drivers when using a 32:9 OLED display at 5120x1440 resolution. Here are a few common problems:
- Resolution Limitations: Some users have reported that their monitors are unable to reach the native resolution of 5120x1440, especially when using HDMI cables. Switching to DisplayPort 1.4 cables sometimes helps, but issues can still persist. [1]
- Driver Crashes: Updating Nvidia drivers can sometimes cause the control panel to crash when attempting to change the resolution. [1]
- Black Screens: Users have experienced random black screens when running at full resolution, especially when using media players or certain games. [2]
- G-SYNC Issues: Enabling G-SYNC can sometimes cause black screens and other display issues. [2]
Some users have found workarounds, such as changing the resolution through the Nvidia control panel instead of Windows display settings, or rolling back to previous driver versions. [1]
Disabling G-SYNC or VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) can also help reduce black screen issues. [2][1] Samsung G9 OLED (G93SC) not reaching native resolution

Ok, so it seems to be the monitor and the displayport cable samsung provided that cannot handle the bandwidth. It happens with Adobe Premiere and TwinMotion also.
New 40GBPS 36 inch cable did not fix the issue. Must be drivers or the GPU.
Make sure that Nvidia G-SYNC is off.
You could also try a high reliable HDMI cable as the specs I see for the Asus Strix 4080 Super says it has a HDMI 2.1 port. (HDMI 2.1 has a max 49GB/s BW compared to the DP 1.4a with a max 32.4GB/s.)
Monitor was in Gaming mode. I changed it over to Entertain. That should shut off the VRR. This thread on reddit was helpful. Also, thanks Dan.

Yes, the first reply in that thread said my suggestion was their solution.
Also, some replies to this also was their solution.
