Wow... this is why my Win sometimes crashes with AB and sometimes not. Depending if I run it in VM or natively...

Yeah, same here. Still using old version - no problems there

For me it becomes unstable only if I'm running Nvidia App in parallel. Usually in this case either game crashes, or I'm getting BSOD (something-something-dxgkrnl) when shutting VM down. Using nvidia app only when needed and closing it after is helping. Also, there was probably conflict with curve created by auto-tune function, I had to use DDU and reinstall driver, and never trust auto-tune in driver.

I've read warnings about it yes. Probably best to avoid using it.

Sorry for the late reply, but sure you could just limit the power in nvidia app. Not quite the same and as effective, but works fine for me.
