'Nvidias drivers don't have any problems, they just work'

HERE WE GO!

The hotfix addresses the following issues:
GeForce Hotfix Driver Version 461.51

[Ampere] Chrome/Edge may experience random TDR while browsing [3195894]
[G-SYNC][Edge of Eternity/Hitman 2]: The games experience stutter and low FPS when Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling in windowed mode [200685971]
Wallpaper Engine app may crash on startup or upon resume from sleep. [3208963]
[461.40] LG CX OLED TVs (2020) are not recognized as G-SYNC Compatible displays [3244055]
[Surround][RTX 30 series] PC may display no signal message when enabling NVIDIA Surround [3230565]
On some Notebooks ‘Maximum Graphics Power’ information missing in NV Control Panel - System Information [200697069]

https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5158?linkId=100000031463074

Still lots of fixes needed and I wouldn't touch the 461s just yet

Hotfix! Hotfix! Hotfix!

i still cant get lg deep colour mode working worked with a older set of drivers but all these new ones dont seem to have it.

 

[evohicks]

I'm gonna try this for the stuttering in loading Warzone games from the lobby.

 

[varkanoid]

Anyone checked the latency and if it still sound pops on this one. Thinking I might skip 461.x and wait for a bigger release.

Well not related to that, but I'd still wait..

Reddit comments say the issue persists. Not encouraging

This driver gives me artifacts everywhere on 3080
Rolled back, works fine now

etc , NVIDIA have been really poor of late

 

[Nexus18]

I'm using 461.40 on my 3080 FE and no problems.

Nvidia drivers do seem to be a lot more problematic than AMD over the last year or 2 so I won't be rushing to update either

 

[evohicks]

461.51 Ok for me, better than previous drivers.

 

[Raiden85]

Will try 461.50 shortly but I've had no issues with 461.40 with a 3090, no latency or sound issues at all.

Same . Apart from of CX not showing as gsynch screen. Will try the .51

 

[Nexus18]

What do people use driver wise? DCH or standard?

 

[JohnG7]

I now use DCH as it is the way it will be going forward for all drivers eventually (I know some people did not like this initially), you will get the NVCP through the Windows 10 Store if you choose DCH.

 

[Raiden85]

I only use DCH as well myself for many months, never had an issue with it.

 

[Alex Lambert]

Sorry to be dim but what is DCH or standard? Where do I find this option?

[Alex Lambert]

Great thanks

 

[Ghuraba]

I can honestly say I have never had any issues with any drivers for years that I have been aware of. It is interesting reading nvidia forums or here about all the issues.

 

[LoadsaMoney]

Use the DCHs here also, and never had a prob with them.

 

[varkanoid]

I wondered what DCH was just seems to be Microsoft trying to plug the MS Store as a viable option again when in reality its still a big disaster like its always been.
