THE NEW DIRECT X 12 ULTIMATE DRIVERS

OFFICIAL LINK

Furthermore, in addition to introducing support for DirectX 12 Ultimate, the Windows 10 May 2020 Update also added a new feature called Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling. This new feature can potentially improve performance and reduce latency by allowing the video card to directly manage its own memory.

To enable hardware scheduling, you can open “Graphics Settings: Change Default Graphics Settings”. Simply toggle the feature on and restart the system and you’ll reap the full benefits of the feature.

DOES WINDOWS 10’S GPU SCHEDULING FEATURE INCREASE GAMING PERFORMANCE?

YES it does, head over to reddit. For instance Red Dead redemption 2 is showing 30% higher minimum framerate after enabling Hardware GPU scheduling.

Thanks Nvidia and Microsoft for the free extra performance, Turing continues to age like fine wine!

edit: both Dragon Quest XI and Shadow of the Tomb raider are showing 100% improvement in 0.1% lows with hardware acceleration on https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/hf2tvg/nvidia_posts_first_directx_12_ultimate_driver_set/

Hmm, Confused..

I have the Windows 2004 update installed which supposedly also installs DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), but I'm still only showing as DX12_1 installed in my Nvidia Control Panel system info, yet I can enable these new features.

..and the Control game now won't recognise my 2080 as being Ray Tracing compatible, with all DX12 features disabled in the menu's.

EDIT:

Yep, something's definitely wrong, All Ray Tracing features are disabled in the DX12 'Ghostrunner' demo as well.:rolleyes:

Oh joy, where to start trying to fix it.

Start by using DDU then reinstalling the latest driver again.

Do you, or anyone else reading this, have Direct X 12_2 showing up in Nvidia Control Panel system info?

..because if the Windows 2004 update didn't install DX12 Ultimate, then I may have to consider the nuclear option of a fresh Windows install with the 2004 update already integrated...:(
 
so I've updated to 2004 and update my drivers but I cannot see hardware accelerated gpu scheduling in the graphics settings

what am I missing?

I'm on: windows 10 2004, build 19041.329
GPU driver: 451.48

I had to remove 2004 as it gave me 3 BSOD in as many days.

Won't be going back on, there are just too many documented issues with it.

I'm hoping (but not holding too many breaths) that MS will have a better bi-annual update in six months.

Are these new drivers fine to install on Windows 10 (1909) ?

Sure, I'm running 1909 and these have been great drivers so far.
