only thing i found

While DirectX Ray Tracing and Variable Rate Shading are supported in Windows 10 today, Microsoft’s Windows 10 ‘20H1’ update will add DirectX support for Mesh Shading and Sampler Feedback, as well as update DXR to version 1.1. NVIDIA will be ready on the day of Windows 10 20H1 release with full driver support for all the new and updated DirectX 12 Ultimate capabilities.

I'm guessing not a great deal... Still holding on to mine till the 3,000 series come out.

[x-voodoo]

Do the GTX cards benefit from the latest 451.48 drivers using Windows 2004 and DX12 Ultimate? Or is this really only for RTX cards?

I did notice the GPU Scheduling Feature becoming available....which, again, is this beneficial to the GTX cards? Still rockin' my GTX 1070.....

Hot fix 451.85

This Hotfix driver resolves the following issues:

[Shadow of the Tomb Raider][DirectX 12]: The game may crash when launched with Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling enabled.
[Death Stranding]: Texture corruption may be observed during gameplay on GeForce GTX 16/RTX 20 series GPUs
NVIDIA Control Panel does not display the native resolution of some HDTVs with invalid timings
Some games may exhibit random freezes that lasts for a few seconds during gameplay.
Some displays may show a green tint when Windows Night Light is enabled
[Forza Motorsport 7]: Game starts to stutter after racing a few laps
[G-Sync Compatible] Adds support for the Samsung 27" Odyssey G7 gaming monitor

Is there any way to install a new driver on an 870m laptop?

[Exposed]

The size of the laptop shouldn't matter to which driver can be installed.

Wow....

Ok, how about a laptop with an 870m chip?

[Exposed]

The size of the chip shouldn't...... well, you know the rest



Seriously though, if 870m isn't supported in latest drivers I'm not sure you can fool the driver installer. Or even if you did it may have unintended consequences on a scale not seen since HL2.

That's what I'm trying to find out, if anyone knows of a modded driver that would work.

[CurrentlyPissed]

Man 870m already not supported? My wife has a 970m, and it still runs pretty dang strong. Hope it's not obsolete already.

[Megaman]

If you installed the latest drivers you may want the hot fix driver. I can confirm the black screen on G sync monitors is real. Had to reboot my PC 3 or 4 times to get the monitor to detect.

Nvidia GeForce 456.71 hotfix driver. This release fixes issues black screen and GSYNC, Fortnite crashes with RTX, and Divinity: Original Sin 2 Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling.

First time I've had any issues with (what I suspect) an NV driver in what literally feels like at least a decade; 461.09, the latest WHQL, started giving me crashes in COD Cold War. I set the card to stock, and still got a DirectX fail. I've played over 20 hours of COD prior to installing this driver and never had a crash with the card OC'd.

I just reverted back to 460.97 (the last hotfix), and I'll see if it continues. Nothing has changed in my system since I moved from 460.97 to 461.09.

This feel so foreign to me. I haven't had to diagnose a crashing issue in so many years .. crazy!

[acroig]

Odd..

You never used Nvidia in Linux then.... come... let me tell you some stories...

DDU and re-install the driver.

[Nunz]

I always DDU before a driver install. Been playing Cold WR since I made that post and no crashes. I can confirm it was the driver.

Hotfix 461.33

Came back to Valhalla after Cyberpunk and it was now crashing on me. Installed the hotfix and it now crashes even faster.

[SirBaron]

Ti's strange because I got no crashes before or after the hotfix. Wonder what's the differentiator that some get it and some don't.

No clue. I posted about the 461.09 causing crashes for me in COD. I'm about to test this 461.33, but I'm on a new platform (9900K before, now a 10900K), so I can't really do an apples-to-apples comparison.

I heard that the new security stuff in the NV driver may be exposing some unstable overclocks, but I don't really believe that as my 9900K was running that same OC for over a year, and it wasn't even pushed very hard. I was running 5Ghz with low voltage, when the chip could easily do 5.2Ghz if I cranked it up.

Meh. I believe it's just a compatibility thing, and probably related to the new security stuff.

DDU and re-install the driver.

No problems for me with 461.09 WHQL driver but all my rig is at stock, no over clocks. Play a lot of COD CW and not a single BSOD or crash. Not bothering updating to new hot fix driver as I don't play any of them games it fixes.

BTW having been an AMD GPU owner for the last decade all I heard (and I agreed sometimes) were AMD drivers are crap and Nvidia are excellent. Maybe that was part of Donald's fake news

[Nunz]

NV drivers are excellent, especially for stability. One driver that causes issues for a small sect of people (me included) does not change that fact.

Update: Played COD:CW and AC:Valhalla for a few hours today, with a +45 OC (used to only be able to do +30 without crashes) and it ran perfect; not a single issue. Either the new platform, a fresh windows install, or the 461.33 driver corrected the issues I had with the 461.09 driver.

[jimjobob]

I had just installed over the old driver because it was a “hot fix”. Did a clean install and left it up for several hours w/o issue.

[Hapatingjaky]

The only issue I am currently having is in WoW:Shadowlands with flickering textures and or Shadows. Blizz has already stated its an engine issue they are working on.

Otherwise I've always used DDU, for Intel, AMD and Nvidia without issue.
