NVME SSD Causing Crash Every 5 - 10 Minutes Constantly

+
Hi,
if someone is using a samsung 960 evo nvme and game crahs every 5 minutes like mine do, (maybe similiar to other nvme vendor) use nvme controller Driver from your vendor. This Fix my crash problems. It seems cyberpunk has problems with standard microsoft nvme driver.

1. scroll down to "Driver" and Download from following: https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/tools/

2. Install and Reboot

3. Make sure in device manager stays nvme device is installed as "NVMe Samsung Controller" , if not then install driver manually , samsung stores the Driver in "C:\Programm Files\Samsung"
 
I noticed there was a "SSD" option in the settings "If you have a slow drive"; wonder if setting this on/off would help things? Wonder what it actually dose, that might be helpful to narrow down the issue. If someone already mentioned this in this thread, just ignore me. :)
 
My Findings:
1) M.2 NVME PCIE SSD WITH RT - Crash! every 1 - 5 min. Not a hardware issue, cause I was playing StarCitizen form the same SSD continuously after CP crash.
2) M.2 NVME PCIE SSD without raytracing -No Crashes!.
3) SATA SSD WITH or WITHOUT RT - No crashes!
 
System:
ASUS TUF Gaming AMD X570 Plus
Ryzen 3600
4 x 8GB 3200 Ram
RTX 2080
1TB Curical TB in M.2_1 (Games)
500gb Samsung in M.2_2 (System)

Can confirm n4nrmal09 text for the upper (M.2_1) slot.
- With RTX ON - no matter where game is installed and even if a partition on that NVMe or not.
Game creashes all 2 - 10 min with a NVME in upper (M.2_1 / CPU PCIe lanes) NVME slot.

- With RTX Off - game even can run from that NVMe disk, game is "normal" stable.

Lower M.2 (M.2_2 / Chipset NVMe slot) and/or SATA SSD's not affecting this in any way.

(testet and reproduced in all versions since release, up to patch 1.1)
 
Just here to report no issues here.

GTX 970 (laptop).
I7-9700K
48GB RAM

Seagate 1TB Firecuda 520 PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD

No real issues with game at all.
My GPU is actually below min req too.
