**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

[Scania]

Happy days, RDR2 seems to like 4K again, FPS seems a bit more consistent too.

Hotfix is out

Highlights
GeForce Hotfix display driver version 445.78 is based on our latest Game Ready Driver 445.75.

This Hotfix driver addresses the following:

• Some DirectX 11 games may fail to launch when Image Sharpening is enabled from the NVIDIA Control Panel

Probably best just to wait for these after the official ones, the amount they've put out the past few months

Hi guys,

Any issues with this driver thinking of getting doom.
Game Ready Driver v442.74 Released, look at the HDR fixes in the notes.

Is it best to use HDR option in game or have it turned on in windows or both?

I've had no bugs or issues with Doom so far. The only thing I can possibly think of is that it doesn't always play ball if you alt-tab out during play (can chug/lower fps when you resume play). No biggie, though.

The new drivers (not the above hotfix) causes issue for 2000 series on certain games) with DLSSS or something (I have Titan Xp so cannot comment), assume this fixes it.

I took the new of cos it wouldn’t display bt2020 on my tv and didn’t notice anything any different about FPS .

Only DLSS games ive got, are Exodus and SOTTR, but i don't use it, will have a look though, see if there is any prob with it.

EDIT:

Just ran through the Tombi bench with DLSS on, no issues.

 

[b00merang69]

It may have been the Sharpening and some games failing to load or such issue (says above) but that is to do with DLSS isn't it, I know its not on 1000 series.

Anyone else getting some black flickering in Doom Eternal with the new drivers?

 

[Dirkscooby]

445.75 or .78?

 

[N19h7m4r3]

Doom Eternal refuses to launch while I have the new Hotfix drivers installed. It reads it as an out of date driver, and even if you click play; just nothing happens.

 

[Dirkscooby]

445.78. Battlefield V, HDR is a lot brighter.With the in game slider, with older drivers, I would have it over to about 1100. Now I have it down to about 300. I have also had to turn down the in game brightness to 40(had it at 50 before).

 

[fantasticCG]

Can you just download the hotfix for a new driver install or do you have to download the original ones first?

 

[b00merang69]

AFAIK unless it has change it is a full diver its not a smaller patch for a driver (check sizes).

 

[N19h7m4r3]

Reverted back to the Doom Eternal game ready driver. Game launches fine, and odd black flickering I had on the 445.75 ones is gone as well.
