Qt Creator display in application output: NVD3DREL: GR-805 : DX9 Overlay is DISABLED

Question

As I am working with my project, I noticed that when I run my app, inside the Application Output area I can see message:

NVD3DREL:  GR-805 : DX9 Overlay is DISABLED
NVD3DREL:  GR-805 : DX9 Overlay is DISABLED
NVD3DREL:  GR-805 : DX9 Overlay is DISABLED

I have no idea what it means, but to be honest it has no impact on my app, but I don't like to see any kind of unnecessary messages. I've tried to google it, but found no similar issues. What might be a reason? I wasn't doing any changes in my code but this message appeared out of nowhere. Lately I installed CUDA SDK on my PC for another project and that's the only connection I can think of with DirectX. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

The problem is a problem in the Nvidia Driver 496.13. I had the same problem, and reverting to an older version fixed it

Yes, I can also confirm this is the Nvidia driver version: 496.13 issue. I have switched back to driver version: 472.12 for now. Also, I have contacted the support team, they suggested to report it here: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/game-ready-drivers/13/471331/geforce-49613-grd-feedback-thread-released-101221/

Also, I have reported this issue on the Nvidia developer forum: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/nvd3drel-gr-805-dx9-overlay-is-disabled/196940
