**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

[Rroff]

The game ready drivers for SWBF have destroyed my frame rate in BF4. I was at a constant 135fps @1440p with the last set, and now it's just making 100fps. I suspect they gone broke SLI again

Edit: Ah fixed it! It's not SLI, it's GSYNC. Nvidia have enabled vertical sync by default in the global driver options. This strangles GSYNC. Switch it off and your good to go with GSYNC.

If you disable vsync (in the nVidia control panel) with G-SYNC enabled it works differently now - On is old style G-SYNC behaviour, Off actually disables G-SYNC (so you get tearing) if you are able to render faster than the monitor refresh rate.

Its possible something is broken with the latest drivers - I didn't try changing the vsync option but with G-SYNC on and vsync on I was getting drops to 70fps (usually holds 120) and flicker on the display - going back to a slightly older driver and it works fine with the vsync option.

Still using the dev drivers and have no issues in Star Wars

 

[Westie]

Just enabled DX12 in Battlefront

Spoiler

Hahabbqhaahah

Just no

 

[Dicehunter]

Hahabbqhaahah

Just no

Yeah I know it was sooooo funny.........

But it does show that if we can do that hopefully DX12 will be a part of a patch

But G-Sync is V-Sync so it needs to be on.......doesn't it?

No, they aren't the same.

 

[Klunt Bumskrint]

Well I've always had v-sync on in CP since getting a g-sync monitor. So if I turn off v-sync it will be better. Is that what you're saying?

Gsync reverts to Vsync when fps reaches monitor refresh rate. For best results, ensure that your fps is below refresh rate and have Vsync disabled.

Mine doesn't, mine caps automatically at 143 on a 144 refresh, wasn't there some latency issues if it hit max refresh?

I'm not sure if an automatic cap was added.

I do wish Nvidia had just stuck with the old way of G-Sync, far less confusing

 

[Twirlywoos]

had about 4 crashes so far in swbf with these new drivers.

 

[Kelt]

had about 4 crashes so far in swbf with these new drivers.

That's interesting, because I've had two crashes in Witcher 3 with these new drivers.

Think I'll revert back.

 

[VincentHanna]

Again, no crashes with these drivers either in SWBF, MGS V or Witcher 3.

 

[Rroff]

_So far_ had no crashes or other problems with 358.50. Haven't played SWBF extensively but no crashes in the time I was messing about with it earlier.

 

[Gregster]

Same for me. Played hours and hours of Elite Dangerous and a small play on SWBF but nowt much and all good here.

What gpu?

And this is why I try to avoid the officials and stick with the dev drivers!

And.........

NVIDIA's Windows driver version 356.04 (released 09-22-15) provides beta support for GameWorks VR.

WIN 10 64bit:

WIN 8.1/8/7Vista 64bi
http://developer.download.nvidia.co...ce_win8_winvista_win7_64bit_international.exe

Much newer than the latest officials!
R356.04 (r355_00-189) / 10.18.13.5604 (9-22-2015)

I prefer developer drivers

Working perfectly with every game I play, even Star Wars

Been doing a fair bit of PC gaming this past week, latest drivers are spot on. Stable, no issues. Nvidia back on form.

Those previous developer drivers were sound as a pound for me before.
