Problem with NVidia Drivers

[moyaa1022]

Hello,

I have 2 external monitors connected to my notebook, one going off the integrated card (my primary) and the other using dynadock u3.0 and Displaylink. For months I have been having a problem with any game using Directx 9. Upon starting, any game using DX9 would give me a "Failed to create D3D9 device" error. After loads of troubleshooting, I have discovered that it is a compatibility issue between Nvidia and Displaylink. When I uninstalled Displaylink, all games (Batman Arkham City, Guild Wars 2, Portal 2) ran again. Upon re-installing the latest version of Displaylink, they failed again.

I tried to remedy the situation by updating my Nvidia drivers, but that only made it worse, as with the latest driver (314.22), when Displaylink is installed my primary monitor is flashing nonstop. This does not happen with older versions of Nvidia drivers.

Is this a known issue? Is there any solution being worked on?

Some extra system information:
Windows 8 64-bit
NVidia GT 650M card
3rd-Gen i7
