What a bug fix already.

 

[Neil79]

What a bug fix already.

And for me unstable in Warzone, three crashes alone...... Might go back to my all time favourite drivers the 457.51's, atleast Sharpen isn't black listed in the drivers and Geforce Experience isn't needed

The new 2.3.3 DLSS version from Swords of Legends Online : NVIDIA DLSS DLL 2.3.3

The 457.51's are such amazing drivers compared to the latest ones, they perform so much better in Warzone with higher minimum's and average's in the frame rates, no crashes AND the Sharpen Filter's work perfectly well with the Nvidia control panel (not black listed) so you don't need Geforce Experience.

Question about who gets priority.

I currently have a GTX 1050Ti running this driver
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

• Driver Details
• ProviderNVIDIA
• Version30.0.14.9649
• Date10/20/2021

This is Dell insisting I run this one through their own updates tool. I know there is a newer driver as I had it installed but Dell rolled me back to this one.
Both driver seemed to work perfectly well, so who should I trust the most? Dell or Nvidia.

Thanks.

Only used this to test out the shadowplay while gaming. What's other peoples tactic for using these features but not having GFE? Dunno why it needs you to login often rather annoying.

Thanks.

Whos your warranty with?

 

[TheFifeFlyer]

Whos your warranty with?

The warranty has expired some 2 years ago.

 

[smogsy]

unless its A workstation card & you require support or special software always go with NVIDIA for your drivers.

only benefit OEM have is oddities on their platform & support if anything goes wrong

We have a bunch of Telsa cards in HPE servers & the HP version of drivers work better as they fixed some oddities on our platform

 

[TheFifeFlyer]

@smogsy Thanks mate. Much appreciated.

I felt going with Nvidia would be the obvious answer but thought best to ask all you guys that know computers.

Hells Bells!

The Division 2 is crashing all over the place with these new Nvidia drivers I installed last week.

Thought I was done with this nonsense..

 

[Neil79]

Cooper give the 457.51 a try

Thanks but I dropped back to 471.96 and after playing for 2hrs, not a single freeze and CTD..whereas with the latest drivers, i'd be lucky to see more than 10mins.

Nice one Cooper, also go into the Nvidia Control Panel and change Sharpen to around 50 , Grain to 10. Makes a big difference in games with no frame rate loss ( I hate Geforce Experience, so I don't use it )

Ugh, as much as that is a cool feature. I tried that. The artificial sharp edges and you can see some wringing is just too much. Even though my monitor is set to the correct sharpness from test patterns.

Can't say I noticed! - Although how far did you have the sharpen filter up the scale?

 

[V F]

About 40%. Anything above 30 - 35% is too much and you can still see it.
