nV Drivers thread.

I'm getting a bit tired of stuff not working with SLI/having issues with SLI, might just go with a single card in the future.

Seems like many shader/temporal based AA solutions are not really that fond of multi gpu setups.

Exactly my plan with big Kepler

[Mangler]

Seems like the AO is the cause for some of the flickering in DA3 when SLI is enabled.

[SirBaron]

Anyone K ow what games work with mfaa or has nvidia left us in the deep end.

I'll be waiting to play FC4 then until SLI works.

[acroig]

shadows are bugged in far cry 4 using SLI

Oh joy!

[KAC]

Well at least we have a driver. Look at the AMD camp lol.

[Megaman]

Does MFAA provide less performance hit and better AA than TXAA? Where does MFAA sit on the pyramid in terms of visual quality?

+1

[Mangler]

Well, I hope they actually look at the screen the next time they release SLI profiles for DA 3 and FC 4, the rendering errors in those titles makes me suspect that they only looked at the scaling results in some xml file.

[Dave]

big maxwell or 390x needs to get here soon.

I'm not so enthusiastic regarding the quality since nvidia blatantly refer it as MSAA replacement which just not cut it in modern games; I still think crytek implementation of SMAA 4x which combine normal SMAA with supersampling is the best AA method out there so far although not perfect, still need transparency and edge detect AA to supplement it.

the bad thing is, seem no other games offer such myriad options of AA methods some games offer SSAA or render scale but generally it cost too much performance and still don't clean up shader, transparency and temporal aliasing completely.

I blamce consoles for this since their hardware are just not cut it for doing multiple high end AA solution so dev don't bother with them

[koralis]

Could do Edge-detect or other AA + the new NVidia scaling.


Shame that games don't tend to handle ultra-high resolutions well, even ones that allow scaling of UI... always seem to be parts that aren't taking the hints.

[Napoleonic]

I am seeing crazy thing here, my cards decided to raise the core clocks to base clocks whenever I'm opening acdsee, right, an image apps need teraflops of gpu power even though afterburner shown no actual gpu usage.

Nvidia has released a hotfix driver:

This is a beta driver that addresses the following issues:

GeForce GTX 980 displays texture shimmering when Texture Filtering Quality set to High Quality.
GPU outputs fuzzy lines over DisplayPort after a period of time following driver updates.
System hang up and black screen after power on with some monitors (DP1.2 & 4K/60Hz) + GTX980

WOOT WOOT, fix for the black screen issue on 4K displays when using a DP 1.2. No more having to swap between HDMI and then DP.

It is also part of the latest driver branch, so it will have all the fixes and such from .75.

[|MaguS|]

Why is that not on nvidia.com?

Duuno, but it fixes my black screen issue.

[BababooeyHTJ]

Nice!

[KAC]

Problems in SLi I am facing. Would be great to get some help.

DAI. Texture flickering in cutscenes that continues once I gain back control. But then goes away as I progress further.

Farcry 4 black shadows causing me to not see crap on the screen correctly.

Ryse Son of Rome. Texture flickering on enemy bodies with maxed settings.

Stuttering in COD AW with filmscopic 2x and 4x supersampling. What is the best setting for 970 SLi setup.

I do not know if this is SLi issue or game issue except for Farcry 4. Would be great to hear your thoughts on possible fixes. Thanks.

[Mangler]

Put textures on high in DA3 that will fix the flickering, but foggy areas will still look like crap with SLI enabled.

You still with this? The nvinspector SLI flag fixes the black shadows. I've been telling you this for weeks now. What's the issue?

[Mangler]

They dont?

I've used the FC3 bits, they didn't fix **** with the 1.4 patch.

Nvm, the crazy flickering went away when I alt tabbed, so they do fix something!

The flickering comes and goes, the black shadows is a permanent fix.

[KAC]

Well I retried the Farcry 3 bits and it seems to be better but not fully fixed. I need to turn off SLi to truly see if this is placebo or if this crap is working or not. Game is pretty dope and I would like to continue playing. Now testing DAI.

[Mangler]

This was my monthly bitch about the current state of nvidia and SLI post.

Mother****ers better deliver a driver before the holidays or I will do nothing!

NOTHING!!!1!

The latest NV BETA driver and patch 1.50 for FC4 makes SLI work. Is that what the rant is about?

[Mangler]

Nah, DA3 and This whole DSR+GSYNC+SLI thing, I can't even use DSR on my secondary monitor with the gsync monitor hooked up to my gpu.

[acroig]

I keep forgetting about your monitor. What a PITA!

[Megaman]

That's what you get for paying too much for the monitor.

[Mangler]

Not going to lie, I wish I had never bought it.

[Meteor_of_War]

Don't believe the hype! Fight the impulse!

[Mangler]

The monitor itself is the best tn panel I've ever used, it's nvidia dropping the ball on their drivers that are the problem.

I've got a ips panel next to it, and honestly, it comes pretty close to matching the IQ.(except for the viewing angles)

[KAC]

Mangler, thank you for testing the monitor for us

[acroig]

Not going to lie, I wish I had never bought it.

Hopefully nv will get on the ball re this issue. You can't be the only one.

[Mangler]

Nvidia better rename their frame rate limiter to virtual frame rate control and expose it in the nv control panel.

Amd is going to introduce "dynamic frame rate control" in the next driver.

[Greasy]

347.09 Beta is out today. It has improvements for elite dangerous apparently.

http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/geforce-347-09-beta-driver-released

The new GeForce Game Ready Elite: Dangerous and Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes 347.09 beta drivers are now available to download automatically through GeForce Experience, and from GeForce.com. With performance optimizations, SLI profiles, and other tweaks, the new drivers are a recommended update for players of the two eagerly anticipated games.

[KAC]

Beta worth boning?

[Hapatingjaky]

Does it include all the fixes of the hot fix .80 driver?

[|MaguS|]

The new drivers allows HDMI connections to display Full RGB!!!!

[ThirdEye]

This is for hdmi only?
