I don't know how I got in the driver thread

I haven't even had a drink in a month

You miss understood, you need to now buy a pair of Ray-Bans and then you will be a part of the cool Nvidia crowd!

I think you have to set off an explosion near some windows and see if there are super realistic reflections in the window panes. You know, in BF5. Anyway just installed the 416.94 and update 1809 in Win 10 and about to go in the game on my Titan V (on a i7 7700 no oc) to see if I can tell a difference.

Overclock.net forums say their Titan V's show RT, sort of. Judging by posts in this thread I'll be spending the next day or two trying to tell any difference assuming Titan V can do RT.

[Megaman]

Nv released 417.58 Hotfix. It addresses:

A black screen when resuming from monitor sleep on some DisplayPort monitors
FPS drops when using G-sync with V-Sync in games on Windows 7
Occasional crashes in DX12 mode on Shadow of the Tomb Raider
A black screen on the BenQ XL2730 monitor at 144Hz refresh rate
Lockups when resuming from sleep on an MSI GT83 notebook.

Nvidia just patched a major security problem, so update your drivers now

https://www.pcgamesn.com/nvidia/nvidia-security-patch

[Megaman]

Nvidia has released a Security Update noting that all versions of their consumer-oriented GeForce graphics drivers for Windows prior to 431.60 contain vulnerabilities that may lead to local code execution, denial of service, or escalation of privileges. The solution is to update your graphics driver to the recent 431.60 version or newer, or versions 431.23, 425.85, or 412.39 from specific hardware vendors.

[demo]

Latest driver broke windows new adaptive sync setting (it's no longer visible in windows settings).

[Hapatingjaky]

Been using 435.80 driver since Saturday. Seems good and have no issues with it.

[Nunz]

can't remember the last time a driver gave me issues honestly ..

[demo]

No issues aside from windows VRR option missing.


After a quick Google it seems this has been the case for a few drivers now but I hadn't noticed.

[Nunz]

updated to the 435.80 driver. i literally can't tell between drivers anymore. ever since SLI went away, so did my desire to update every new release lol

game performance wise nv drivers are fine, when it comes to tv out and hdmi audio nv sucks compared to amd. Looses the 5.1 setting all the time, my primary display has strange flickering and lags when both displays are enabled.

You have Nvidia HD Audio driver installed? I've got my system attached to my home theater at all times using an HDMI Fiber cable and haven't had an issue with 5.1 being missing. Then agai I just play Mortal Kombat 11 so I wouldn't really notice..

yup i do. Every once and a while it forgets its setup as 5.1 and reverts to 2.0. Very annoying

NVIDIA will add Reshade filters to GeForce Experience via a new driver next week

You know, it's funny I just posted in the Radeon section that AMD should bring this feature back. As "smartshaders" was a similar idea 15yrs ago.

Recently, NVIDIA starting shipping drivers in DCH format. This removes the NVIDIA Control Panel from the driver install file and moves it to the Microsoft Store as an app. Now, whenever you install/uninstall the NVIDIA drivers the NVIDIA Control Panel remains untouched and needs to be manually uninstalled through the Microsoft Store. This is affecting the "Clean Install" option while installing NVIDIA drivers for me because, previously, when I would select "Clean Install" it would uninstall the driver and NVIDIA Control Panel prior to installing the new driver version. This would reset all settings and whatnot. Now when I select "Clean Install" while installing drivers, only the driver is uninstalled and not the NVIDIA Control Panel and thus the setting in the Control Panel remain intact even though the "message" for the "Clean Install" option says it will reset everything.

Anyone else having this issue?

I've never in bothered to notice weather the driver was installing a new control panel or not, its always over the old here.

Please tell me you are not using the DCH and GeForce Experience...…

Your install folders should look like this before you install the STANDARD driver. Not the DCH version.



Delete the highlighted section in the setup.cfg and save. Then install the driver.

The latest CP is 8.1.956.0. This will be the version for the upcoming 455.98 driver releasing alongside the new 2004 Windows build this week.

have not been downloading and using DHC

only GeForce Experience to install drivers, it is the only thing i use it for
if it can't install drivers properly why does it still have the driver install option

so now you say it can't even do that



i hope navi 2x is faster

[Higgy10]

i have to somehow figure out which driver broke hdr, i did a clean install last week and i think my previous drivers were months old sadly

Download DDU
Uninstall The Driver ( Audio, Physx and whatever other Nvidia **** appears ).
Reboot in to safemode and run DDU. Make sure you open up the options in DDU and set the it like so.



Then download 445.98 and install like I listed above. Extract the installer, delete all the folders and enjoy it without all the bloat and trash that you never use.

And **** GeForce Experience.

Nvidia has 450.99 in public preview out. Its the driver that will be released alongside Windows 10 2004 releasing the 28th.

Runs great, seems a lot smoother. New Nvidia CP version.

Does not contain a PhysX driver which has too be downloaded separately.
