**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

[Drizmod]

Looks like MSI Afterburner might be a thing of the past too!

As long as it also allows undervolting at the same time then i'll probably uninstall Afterburner

 

[scubes]

No issues here so far with the latest drivers while using the new beta control panel app, everything is running ok as usual (4090).

All fine although i do not own either of the games you had issues with.

 

[opethdisciple]

No issues with current drivers.

Reboots and shutdowns are hardware issues.

 

[scubes]

All fine with 546.65.no issues ..

So nothing worth upgrading from the newest Studio driver then.

EDIT

So apparently even though it's not in the release notes, Nvidia implemented the fixes for RTX HDR, That people talked about in the main reddit thread - https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/com...m_name=androidcss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1

A fair few people, That I've read anyway, Noticing it now follows the gamma curve properly.

 

[BananaDunka]

I like the new NV app's breakdown when a new driver is out, easier to see the changes etc, just nicer layout.

Not going to bother updating to these drivers. Will wait for the game ready driver for Horizon on the 21st.

 

[Dg834man]

Any one with 551.61 experienced a massive momentary slow down in helldivers its not stutter more like the game goes slow motion for half a second then speeds back up, wasn't happening on my previous drivers that were a month or two old.

Did they fix the issue with RTX HDR and more than one monitor yet?

 

[TNA]

Is there an NV app cleaner like there is for the drivers yet?

 

[BananaDunka]

No but it's just the app really, you can use Revo Uninstaller (free) to remove any app/game and its remnants anywhere on the PC with a couple of clicks. I don't uninstall anything now without using Revo for this reason.

Yes I had something similar with destiny 2 like it would freeze for a second or 2 and then resume. I am using a samsung oled g9
