GGUI compatibility issue with (maybe) Nvidia driver
Describe the bug
The bug appears to be the compatibility issue between GGUI, Vulkan and NVidia driver, since it happens after I switched from RTX 3090 ti with old driver to RTX 5080 with the latest driver.
To Reproduce
import taichi as ti
import taichi.ui as tiui
# 1. Initialize Taichi
ti.init(arch=ti.cuda, debug=True) # Or ti.vulkan, or let Taichi pick
print(f"Taichi initialized successfully with arch={ti.lang.impl.current_cfg().arch}")
# 2. GGUI (taichi.ui) Window Setup
window_title = "Minimal GGUI (taichi.ui) Test (RTX 50 series)"
window_resolution = (800, 600)
window = None
window = tiui.Window(window_title, res=window_resolution, vsync=True)
