This one, it's the version without all the extraneous stuff that Nvudia puts in the driver, including GFE.

https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/441-87-clean-version.421390/

Ah ok i didnt know there were seperate lite versions. I have already rolled back though and clocks are fine again after using the Clean Install option under Custom install. I had installed 441.87 over 441.66 with 441.66 being the first driver i used with the new 1660 Super i have. Is a clean install the normal way of updating drivers with Nvidia? Seems a bit of a ballache having to put my settings back in after doing this every time.

I only install the driver as i am not interested in the GeForce Experience thing, so what is different between this and the lite driver?

Cheers :)

The "clean" drivers remove the telemetry software that will be otherwise installed, regardless of what you deselect in the normal driver.

Yup, sharpening is the best feature for *ages* imo!

Yeah that plus the GPU up-scaling means lower end cards can output some really impressive visuals at 4K, for example rendering at 1080P with GPU sharpening and up-scaling the end result. Honestly games look and run great 1080P to 4K.

I am so skipping 'next gen' consoles for TV gaming this time around, and sticking with main PC and HTPC combo. Best thing from Nvidia for a long time.

Means people can use their current GPU for longer too. Don't need a card that can natively run 4K on every title, just select a lower res, high settings and let the card handle the rest.

How does this work, say I wanted better FPS with RDR2 - it's currently running at 3440*1440 (on 1080ti). How would I push better FPS without losing image quality?

From what I gather drop the internal scaler down to 0.75 (75%) and turn the Sharpen upto 80 and you should get better fps plus visuals (works for me in Division 2 btw).
